Odroid N2, running 21.1.1 on emmc and wanted to try 22/new order on SD card.

The same wifi adapter, “0bda:c811 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. 802.11ac NIC” works fine in 21 and fails to even initialize in 22.

Was looking at 22 and the 5.15 kernel for WPA3 support.

I’m just saying this in case it triggers any thoughts. Running with S905x4 4GB 100lan and Aeon Nox Silvo skin set to play a startup intro video. The last 2 or 3 nightlies boot to a blank screen.

To get to full boot, I’ve changed guisettings to estuary using ssh and rebooted. If I then swap back to Aeon Nox it runs the startup video and loads. If I reboot, it boots back to blank screen.

If I fix it again and disable the startup video, then I can reboot with Aeon Nox Silvo as the skin.

I realise that Silvo has not been updated for Kodi 22 yet but I thought I should mention the changed behaviour in nightlies.

Is this still the case? It kind of defeats the point of the N2+ as its only selling point was the higher clock speed haha

from 20240910 not fixed wifi for X96s (g12a_s905y2_4g) and USB seems not working.

Non-urgent comments:

  • Non-linear stretch no longer functions correctly - a band of distorted video appears at the screen bottom when stretching 4:3 in wide screen mode. OK on previous CE versions. Repeatable error on s905x3, s905x4 devices, different monitors, current and earlier “no” nightlies.
  • Have been using CE for years using Dell 1080p monitor via a HDMI:VGA adaptor, no problem. CE-no introduced HDMI instability on this monitor, strange interference patterns on screen, rendering it unusable. Tried setting color depth to 8 bits and subsampling to RGB with no effect. However reversing this commit drm: set hdmitx default 444,10bit · CoreELEC/common_drivers@c75bb53 · GitHub
    and recompiling solved the problem.

Instead of reverting the commit can you try just to remove this two line at all:

	hdmitx_state->color_attr_para.colorformat = HDMI_COLORSPACE_YUV444;
	hdmitx_state->color_attr_para.bitdepth = 10;

They are not included in 5.4.210 kernel.

Thanks…yes confirmed, removing the 2 lines of code in 5.15 meson_hdmi.c works.

Thx, will see if there is any diff on other setups.

This will not work as it boot up as default now: 1080P60 RGB L 10b 186MHz
Force display colour space does not work. So there must be something fixed.

Some data from my setup. Not sure what you are referring to as “default”.

I noticed on ODroid N2, reboot is not working and power off is sometimes not working. When these processes don’t work, the system appears to freeze for a few seconds, and then the UI restarts (not a reboot or power off, just the UI restarting). So I tried to capture a log after this happens (after I press “reboot” in the power menu). Log is here;

The bit where I press “OK” button on the remote to reboot is this line I think;

2024-10-06 21:08:32.635 T:1760 debug <general>: HandleKey: 11 (0xb, obc244) pressed, window 10111, action is Select

After that I’m not knowledgeable enough to know what if any of the other log lines may be useful to see what is happening.

I’ve been using these NO nightlies for a few weeks now, and this has always been an issue.

Now I know why I didn’t have any issues .
Because I had this on.
I actually had your workaround settings enabled .
I didn’t need the transcode but I must have enabled it sometime in the past.

So to confirm I have the audio crippled in YouTube and other when it’s lpcm.

I use Coreelec ng nightly image on my Beelink gt king box and everything works perfectly

Now I have tested coreelec no nightly:

With no I cannot use 4K content
The TV says “check HDMI cable”
If I set the GUI to 4K the same thing

So I tried the same thing with an X4 box, same result

It can’t be the HDMI cable because everything is fine with ng

Apparently the HDMI edid in no version is different than in ng

TV is an almost new QN95C
