Hi
I’ve been long experiencing issues with content ( it appears I made this bad thread a while back ) that just brings my N2+ to a standstill.
The N2+ is stock, as is, from odroid UK, same PSU, and the CoreElec SD image accordingly.
I’ve raised this on the odroid forums just now, and thought it a good idea to raise it here, too.
I’ve no idea if this is related to the issues described in this high bitrate thread (7569), but they persisted even after an upgrade to 19.3.
Essentially, I will start a 4K UHD HDR ( normal, 10, or 10+ ) file with Atmos sound, and despite being set for passthrough, the device starts the audio in PCM. Further more, it stutters like crazy, then the whole device grinds to a standstill.
This occurs if the file is local or networked. The file plays back fine on a 2015 Shield, or (within reason) a PC, using the same network and/or HDMI cables or others, sometimes at very long distance. Other than the obvious audio differences no change if connected via the AVR or directly to the TV.
I’m wondering exactly what could be causing this. Some folks elsewhere have indicated that this might be a power issue. Some of the errors in the log show memory allocation errors, is the RAM dying, or could power delivery cause that to happen? Or perhaps SD corruption? I dunno.
This happened pre and post an update to 19.3, and that even ripped out all my add-ons for further removal of influences.
Here’s excerpts (too long a post) from a log, lemme know if something more relevant is required, full log is in odroid post.

Hope that y’all can help … as I’m not sure really what or where to look for help on this.
If it makes any difference, CEC stopped working on this a billion years ago.

Here’s the audio section, which seems OK?
