Hello, it’s my first time posting here. I recently bought a Fire TV Cube 2nd Gen after finding out that it has CE support with DV. So far I’m amazed by the device, after setting up with the eMMC install process it’s been very smooth. Huge props to the CE team and @YadaYada for the work.
With regards to DV, I would say I encountered some weird stuttering issues when FF/RW. Eventually there would be skipped frames and the audio would desync. I tested three types of DV movies: P7 FEL, P7 2Mbps MEL, and P7 MEL. I did not cover the BD menus, only playback.
P7 FEL
tsmuxed BDMV - fail https://paste.coreelec.org/ThaddeusBottles
MKV ST-DL - ok
TS ST-DL - fail https://paste.coreelec.org/CourtLombardo
TS DT-DL - fail - the BDMV link would probably work here, since it’s also DT-DL anyways?
P7 MEL (2Mbps)
BDMV - ok
MKV ST-DL - ok
TS DT-DL - ok
TS ST-DL - fail https://paste.coreelec.org/WitchesScuse
P7 MEL (no 2Mbps stream)
BDMV - ok
MKV ST-DL - ok
TS DT-DL - ok
TS ST-DL - fail https://paste.coreelec.org/WieldingJewel
I had these formats for testing because prior to this my DV playback device was a Sony X800m2, which would require TS DT-DL for FEL and TS ST-SL for MEL. P8 conversion makes the latter non-FEL tests not as significant but just wanted to show in case there’s a clue there.
However, given that FEL playback works fine with MKV anyways I wouldn’t mind switching formats. I ended up buying another 2nd gen cube too so I could retire the X800m2 altogether, so MKV would fit my needs perfectly.
