I was wondering if anyone could confirm that they are able to connect to a 2.4GHZ wifi network using a realtek 8812BU adapter? Every time I try to connect either the Coreelec add-on crashes, it does absolutely nothing, or it shows a failed status. I have tried two of 8812BU based adapters, and I get the same results. The adapters also work fine on my laptop. So I don’t think it is a hardware issue. I suspect it is a driver issue with the 88x2BU module.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior, or can anyone else confirm this is also failing for them?
Here are logs.
I rebooted.
I tried to connect to the 2.4GHZ network. It gave no error, but didn’t connect.
I connected to the 5GHZ network. It seems to work fine. http://ix.io/3WUF
You use the default skin?
If not try again with default skin. the crash log showed a crash in CGUIListItem::GetProperty what maybe is related to a skin error.
Need some help, i updated my X96mini S905W 1GB/8GB, to the 19.5-rc1 today and noticed that got no audio to the TV from any stream, runned the emuelec addon and got audio without problem, returned to 19.4 and got the audio back.
Same issue here: The update stopped audio output to HDMI. A workaround which worked for me was to change audio output from HDMI to PCM in System settings (while still keeping the TV connected by HDMI… So this setting is clearly wrong but as I said: It’s a workaround to get audio back).
S905W : No MP2 audio with 19.5rc1 via HDMI - ACM 2ch and 5ch is fine.
Setting audio passthrough on/off or changing any other setting makes no difference.
Rollback to 19.4 brings MP2 audio back.
Tanix TX7 S905x box been working fine in CoreELEC 19.4 but now updated to 19.5 rc1 and no audio. I tried this also on a friends same type TX7 box and the same result of no audio after the update. Reverted back to 19.4 and audio returns. Just reporting a bug so staying on 19.4 for now
I have a hard time believing that the skin would allow a 5ghz wifi connection to be established, but cause a 2.4ghz connection to fail.
However here are logs using the default skin.
Changed skin to default
Rebooted.
Tried to connect to 2.4 GHZ WiFi. Failed without error.
Attempting to connect to 5GHZ crashed the Coreelec add-on if done directly after attempting a 2.4 connection (I bet the add-on crashing is where you saw the skin error coming from). If I attempt a 5GHZ connection without trying 2.4 first, it connects without issues.
The issue still persists with the default skin.
Just for S&Gs I tried the 5-3 nightly, and it has the same issue.
Any other ideas? I still think there is an issue with the module being used. Does anyone know how old it is, or where it was obtained? Maybe there is a new one that fixes these issues.
The Audio issue is in the log:
“2022-05-03 21:40:37.832 T:3479 DEBUG : CAESinkALSA - Unable to obtain ELD information for device “hdmi:CARD=AMLMESONAUDIO,DEV=0” (not supported by device, or kernel older than 3.2)”
Switching to PCM resolved the issue.
You need to be more specific about the scenario and include logs. First you posted “SD is being watched through the PVR recording section and user starts a HD recording” I took that to mean starts a recording but you told no me it was “SD recording is played when selecting an HD recording” so I guess you mean start playing an SD recording and while it is playing start playing an HD recording without stopping. I have tried this with pvr.nextpvr and again no issues.
Thanks you so much. Your work is excellent. Yes I noticed by switching of the Meson HDMI audio output to the analogue or PCM it all worked albeit without the better quality digital passthrough audio of course.
Try again with clean install WITHOUT any addon or modification. Kodi is crashing, no idea why and I am almost sure it’s related to one of your addon installed.
