Amlogic-no Discussion

Confirmed, AV1 DV-P10 is working , thank you. If only AML can release DV FEL dovi.ko, I soulfully would ditch CE-NG so quickly

Bindou · 4 May 2025 19:34

Hi, is there any plans to release NO on Oowow? Or will that only happen when it comes out of beta?

vpeter · 5 May 2025 06:27

You can install any image over ssh. Just start krescue/oowow on your VIM4 device, check IP address and write CE image to eMMC on it

curl VIM4_IP_ADDRESS/shell/write | sh -s - CoreELEC-Amlogic-no.aarch64-22.0-Piers_nightly_20250505-Khadas_VIM4.img.gz

It is possible to write to uSD card too

curl VIM4_IP_ADDRESS/shell/write | sh -s - image_file -sd

I have one big and one minor issue with the latest amlog-no nightly (and all previous versions):

Major issue:
Widevine does not work correctly on the Odroid N2:
error <general>: AddOnLog: inputstream.adaptive: License server returned failure (HTTP error 400)
I am not sure about the reason, one guess is that the BSP was not adjusted yet according to (Widevine ARM64 support · xbmc/inputstream.adaptive Wiki · GitHub)?

Minor issue:
I have the 2GB version of the Odroid N2, and kodi crashes almost immediately when i watch videos and zram is not activated. I could solve this by creating the following file:

coreelec:~/.config/system.d # cat /storage/.config/system.d/zram.service
[Unit]
Description=zram
Before=kodi.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=modprobe zram num_devices=1
ExecStart=/usr/bin/bash -c "echo 384M > /sys/block/zram0/disksize"
ExecStart=mkswap /dev/zram0
ExecStart=swapon -p 10 /dev/zram0

[Install]
WantedBy=kodi.target

2GB ram is not enough? Do you running some addons which eats it? How much is free before playback? And do you have crash log?

inputstream.adaptive addon was updated - check if you have latest version installed 22.2.3-Piers

rome1931 · 5 May 2025 15:22

Can this command install to emmc also?

vpeter · 5 May 2025 15:30

First command writes to eMMC, second to uSD card (notice -sd argument).

startv · 6 May 2025 06:30

It’s nice, which skin do you use? Could you upload the xml file？

crazyturk · 6 May 2025 07:23

I use the original estuary interface.I use the xml file by editing it myself.
skin.estuary.rar (12.7 KB)

startv · 6 May 2025 10:58

Thank you very much, I’ll use it

straynrg · 6 May 2025 19:19

Yes, 2GB ram is not enough without the zram module. I was simply using GitHub - rbuehlma/pvr.zattoo: Kodi PVR-Addon for Zattoo addon, otherwise a fresh installation. I can’t reproduce at this moment as the device is in use by my family right now, IIRC it was about 500-700MB free memory before the crash. It looked like the GPU memory was having issues, not the overall system RAM. I can tell you more in the next days.I can provide the crash log, Is there any sensitive data i need to redact in the crash log? I was using the following version with the zram which led to the crash:

############## END SYSTEM INFO ##############

i still have the same error:

 error <general>: AddOnLog: inputstream.adaptive: License server returned failure (HTTP error 400)

with the current nightly and the newest inputstream.adaptive 22.2.3.1 and this nightly version:

Note that this all worked fine on stable/nightly builds for the non-amlogic-no version (i don’t know the nickname of the stable version, perhaps just amlogic). This is why i suspected the code changes mentioned in Widevine ARM64 support · xbmc/inputstream.adaptive Wiki · GitHub may not be implemented yet in amlogic-no. I think inputstream adaptive downloads the aarch64 version of widevine on amlogic-no, and the aarch32 version of widevine on amlogic.

@vpeter:
I actually found at least some leftovers of the crash analysis when NOT using the additional zram:

I hope you did a clean, fresh new install of CE-NO and not a update! The user arch did change so all widevine stuff is not compatible anymore.
Also backups are not compatible!

bazzle · 7 May 2025 07:26

When was this from? Ive been keeping my backups and using them atm

straynrg · 7 May 2025 14:11

yes i did a fresh install.
I did copy over some folders from the old install into ~/.kodi/userdata/addon_data
i’ll try to uninstall all related addons and their data, reinstall the addons and try again.

If that doesn’t work i’ll try a fresh install once more without restoring addons.

Reporting back in the next few days …

Portisch · 7 May 2025 14:35

No, make clean fresh install on formated boot media!

sonofdibnah · 9 May 2025 17:34

Is there any change with setting up a power switch on Odroid N2+ between this and NG? I have edited config.ini to use GPIO 479 and wired the switch to GPIO pins 9 and 11 as I did for NG but it doesn’t work.

sonofdibnah · 10 May 2025 13:52

To continue, I see that the narrative for GPIO has changed in NO but I can’t understand it. I can’t find a clue from the example given as to what I should set for the N2+

Can anyone help this simpleton?

Portisch · 10 May 2025 14:07

Search at khadas how to get the number for VIM4. It’s same what I remember. It was also somewhere here in forum.

sonofdibnah · 10 May 2025 14:54

I’ve been trying but I stand more chance of becoming fluent in Klingon. Thanks for trying to help though, it is appreciated.

To be honest, it’s no big deal and it’s been more of a ‘can I do this?’ project. My remote’s power button already does the job.
