CoreELEC 19.4-Matrix_rc2 Discussion

Hi all

Since the 19.4 RC2 update, or at least I noticed this since the update - All of my GT King devices have a weird issue running the interface at 4k - The text looks slightly blurred and seems to be made up of scan lines - 4K video plays without issue, but all interface elements have this (including OSD when I pause for example).

As soon as I set the interface to 1080p it’s fine (although OSD is affected when playing a 4K video).

Has anyone else had this? I’ve just set the interface to 1080 for now and it’s not exactly a dealbreaker…was just wondering if there is anything I can do to resolve.

Thanks

Please before report issues try first nightly version if it is already fixed, thank you.

I’m not really comfortable with running nightlies…I have had issues with them in the past…which is why I just asked if anyone else had seen this issue.

Tracking issues is a kind of process with including the step to try first last nightly if the issue is may fixed already. Or using the search function or reading the thread would have shown the issue was fixed already some days ago.

I tried the whitelist with a part of disp_cap file and the 2 settings just bellow. Unfortunately, no improvement still the jerking about every second in the test files jellyfish.
But… when I play the films there is no jerking at all. :smiley:
I tried lot of time and the start/stop are good 9 times over 10. This is the best setting I found.
Thanks for you help

OK, I’ll download a nightly build, then, and try it on two different SD cards (to eliminate the SD as a point of contention) and report back.

Because I too am getting the ‘scanlines’ issue. Also, testing with the leviathan.m2ts file (that I mention here) from Dolby Trailers on TDT, causes video and audio issues of some kind every single playback.

For the record, I’m not posting the previous, or the following, as any kind of gotcha or complaint. Purely as a record or information on what I’ve tested and what ancillary eqipment that’s involved is proven to be OK.

Using 3 different (1 48G, 2 18G) certified HDMI cables, on the N2+ and then on a pi4 with a nightly build, the pi4 plays back the file flawlessly in HDR (possibly HDR10). I realise that there are different chips, and base OS’ involved here, again, this is purely to indicate AV capabilities and any issues with the file.

If you use passthrough for Atmos audio then it should work flawless.
If you don’t use passthrough then choose another codec. Some TrueHD without passthrough can cause crash on kodi.

I can’t tell if this was in response to me, but it doesn’t look like it.

All the same:

  1. I linked a separate thread for my issues.
    So, I’ll not poison this thread discussing them. :sweat_smile:

  2. I do, and it is not flawless. :wink:

Happy to discuss over in the thread, though. :+1:

I’m experiencing stream interruptions when watching Live-TV on my N2 on a regular basis now. The stream stalls for a couple of seconds, and then resumes.

Any advice appreciated.

Looks like some stream, connection or pvr.hts issue

There is the same problem.

Hmh, you run a different CE version there. But we may look for commonalities:

  • I use an “early” N2
  • I run TVH in Docker
  • Both run on an OMV server
  • I use Emby with the Emby next gen addon
  • My network components are from Ubiquiti

Is there anything similar with your system?

There is the same problem with Coreelec matrix.

no, it looks different.

Hi guys, I’ve updated my 1/8G S905X Trongle X4 from 19.3 to 19.4 rc2. The only issue for me is with my Playstation 2 controller connected via an USB adapter. It’s working fine on 19.3 but on 19.4 rc2 the circle, cross and square buttons aren’t working, while the triangle and directional buttons are. I’ve tried to set it up again via the wizard but no change. I’ve tried with both the Kodi and PS dualshock profiles and with the latest nightly 20220212. Logs with the PS dualshock profile and 19.4 rc2, pressing the circle button:

TV Picture Stuttering

Using TVHeadend Server 4.2 and client 19.0.6.1 on Odroid N2, I am noticing picture stutters again which had virtually been eliminated from 19.3. They appear annoyingly random, so they are difficult to capture but I do have one. Here it is 9s3sed2rt8rirdvp

Watch the doctor on the right hand side towards the end of the clip (which was obtained from a clean install running from SD card).

The clip plays fine thro VLC media player, Kodi on Firestick and Kodi on Ubuntu but stutters in Rc2, latest nightly and, to my surprise, 19.3.

I tried to upload a log from the clean install but it failed.

Can anything be done about the stuttering?

P.S. As an aside, the nightly/s have vastly reduced the frequency of the visible stutters compared to RC2. I’ll be staying on them. As ever, thanks for all your efforts chaps.

A post was merged into an existing topic: Banana Pi BPI-M2 Pro gigabit cable can work normally under CoreELEC?

Hello and excuse my English, google translator, I just installed this version of coreleec by dualboot in a mecool ki, the first attempt gave me an error, the second attempt was correct, but it does not give me the option to restart the nand, I know that You don’t give mecool support but I give the information in case it helps you. Coreelec works fine up to what I have tried. Regards, and thank you very much[quote=“Portisch, post:1, topic:17572, full:true”]
