Latest test build image available here for S905/D/W/X only.
This test build is using the kernel from the OSMC Vero4K which we have had really good results with on team testing, including previously unplayable content now playable and HDR banding issues resolved.
Some other fixes included…
dirtyregions fix for subtitles by wrxtasy
Si2157-A30 DVB adapter fixed by afl1
issue after stopping playback on 3D content fixed by afl1
bd chapter seek fixed by afl1
fixed more keyboards/mice incorrectly identified as joysticks
Perfect playing… plays all uhd and Full hd and 720p formats. Because I m using for just watching movies through my external hdd. Brightness and contrast level are aslo awesome.
That sounds interesting, how do I try it out?
Just update to this dev build and if I want to go back to stable just put the stable image in the update folder?
Could this also potentially fix sound issues when playing certain video files, for me it only happens with x265/hevc but I think it’s more about a certain audio codec.
I read about different people having this issue. I have an avr and passtrough enabled.
It’s hard for me to reproduce this issue and also to describe it.
Sometimes when playing such video, the audio is crackling / distorted.
There are different levels of this that occur, in rare cases it’s just a loud sough.
After a few times of stopping the video and replaying it, sound is alright again.
It’s strange and doesn’t occur that often.
Are you using a 444,10bit colour space? ie have you done echo 444,10bit > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/attr
The service is not necessary and was removed in later versions of OSMC, the service that you have seen failed has absolutely nothing to do with this issue.
can you try and do echo round1 > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/debug whilst your video is playing and not before or after and see if it makes any difference.
-edit failing that if it’s still an issue, can you also try the command before pressing play
Ahhh, I see my beloved manual fix for banding, yes I can see a difference when “round1” is applied, but not everytime it works as expected, sometimes it causes worst banding instead of solving the problem, that’s very weird…
They modified Kodi to execute the command just before the playback of any video and also when the UI is initialized.
I thought I had ported their Krypton code successfully to Leia but judging by the debug log you sent me and your testing the playback portion of the code isn’t working as expected so I will look at it tonight, it should be an easy fix though.
What I might do is make it so the banding fix can be toggled from CE-settings.
