Can confirm that auto colorspace and bit depth switching works flawlessly on my S912 box with this release. Previously i was using “echo 444,10bit > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/attr” in autostart.sh, and i remove that line before updating to the new build and everything went without a hitch. Thanks to the devs!
What is the “echo” trick?
Read the announcement/release notes.
Thanks for info
Why you removed IR remotes A95X, MeCool, MINIX? Mecool in one of the best brands in S9xx? At least one of the best selling.
We haven’t removed the remote maps, we just had to disable them by default, that is why running 1 command gets them working again permanently.
We had to do this as a result of unifying the builds, CoreELEC was taken from 6 different update tars, which took hours to build each one, down to 2, so it has made life much easier for the developers.
Unfortunately the remote codes of the aforementioned devices conflicted with the Khadas remote maps so they had to be disabled by default.

I can confirm. Auto colorspace and bit depth switching works as intended on my MeCool K1 pro devices. Kudos and a million thanks to the devs. Cheers.

Upgrade isn’t working for me on C2.
Copied CoreELEC-S905.arm-8.95.6-Odroid_C2.img to Updates and rebooted as usual.
On bootup…
Found new image
Mounting system partition
Missing (source) KERNEL or SYSTEM
use the tar file not the img.
CoreELEC-S905.arm-8.95.6.tar to upgrade the C2, Le Potato, KVIM, S905
CoreELEC-S912.arm-8.95.6.tar to upgrade the KVIM2, S912
Please read annoncment once, twice… Use Google translate if required. A lot of answers on questions are already in this announcement.
The tar file worked, thank you.
Please consider changing the announcement from "you can now update your installation with the S905 tar " to something that indicates you actually have to do it and using the normal approach will no longer work.

Not sure if this is a kodi change or from coreelec but after this update I have to turn on subtitles everytime I start a show. Before it would just save my last setting. The Kodi v18 (Leia) changelog page doesn’t list anything about this, so I guess maybe it’s coreelec?
/Edit: installed latest kodi nightly build from today on my pc, there the behavior is still the same as before
Just installed this version on my s905x. I see one problem when decoding x265 content with a height which is not a multiple of 8. For example 1038/8=129.75.
In this the last few lines at the bottom are copies of each other. It seems like the player is actually showing 1040 or 1048 lines and fills those extra lines by repeating the last one. I don’t see it with h264 content, so its really the h265 content that is affected.
Is this issue known? Other people seeing it too? Seems like an amlogic driver problem.
