So will need to go with old firmware like before.
It mostly will only affect AV1 and VC-1 media.

For best possible support minimum firmware version 4.1 is need.

If I go back to earlier builds speed goes up. If I up
date to 21 speed goes down?
Im confused too. :frowning:
I have repeated test 3 times.

EDIT:
i see borygo results :(. I will try the early dtb on the later one to see if there is any difference for me.
EDIT:
well… box updated to 22. Speed back :slight_smile:
No idea, but if it keeps working thanks to the CE team :wink:

Thanks borygo. Im using the Kodi speedtest 3.1 version.
I will try a diff dtb just in case my Tox3 is playing silly buggers.

EDIT: as stated above, update to 22 and it seems to be working again :slight_smile:

I am really thankfull for the help I have been given :slight_smile:

I thought I will post here with an update. Despite my best efforts, the best firmware that I could find only brings ucode to version 3.55 and this was with late 2024 Vontar firmware - I even flashed the latest slimboxtv firmware for my box. I have not decided whether to buy a new box (maybe s928 for future proofing) or just run the box with amcodec hardware decoding disabled when trying to play AV1 videos on CE-NO. Another option is to revert back to CE-NE, which plays AV1 with hardware decoding

@Portisch Thanks for the latest nightly and my S905X4 (SC2) based box (X96max+ ultra) is able to play videos again. However the AV1 encoded video playback is still not working. The file below plays fine on my WIndows Kodi but not on CE NO running on S905X4 (SC2), The audio track plays fine but the video track is stuck on the first frame.
Can you please check if it plays on your end

The file plays perfectly fine on my S905X4 box (Dune Homatics R 4K Plus) using 0319 and last nights 0322.

1721

If you’ve been following the thread, what’s your Android ucode version? Mine is 3.43 (from memory)which is less than the recommended. I can’t play AV1 but that doesn’t bother me.

1722

@Portisch how do I find my android ucode version number, it flashed up briefly once in a notification I then updated Android and it’s never been displayed again.

So how do I know what it is?

1723

Debug log:
jc -u opentee_linuxdriver
When there is no msg it should be ok.

Mar 06 14:38:35 CoreELEC-NO tee-loader[524]: Android ucode version: '4.130'

Thanks :+1:

1725

Actually that’s strange because that log say my ucode was 4.130 on the 6th of March however I updated to nightly 0322 this morning, 22nd March and it flashed a notification that my ucode version was only 3.8 so I’m not sure what’s happening there?

You life back in future.
The implementation was done 19.3.

1727

No new Ucode version than 3.49 (Tanix W2)
What codec that won’t work below 4.1?
Many boxes do not have Android (Vontar X3, X96 Max, Tanix X4, etc.)- what can be done with these?

1728

What?

If my ucode was 4.130 on the 6th of March then any version of CoreELEC I ran after that should of told me my ucode version was 4.130 not 3.8 like the 0322 nightly did. It’s got nothing to do with my life or the future.

1729

It’s not possible to make a log from 6.3 when the code was implemented 19.3 :joy:

1730

And yet the log is clearly date and time stamped as March 6:-

Mar 06 14:38:35 CoreELEC-NO tee-loader[524]: Android ucode version: '4.130'

I didn’t make the log on the 6th of March, I made it today but it contains a ucode version that is clearly date stamped as the 6th of March.
