A friend of mine is getting the same error on his AM7 on live tv broadcast .
There is a fold back from the bottom in the picture.
As a TV repairman, we call this type of fault a vertical circuit fault

@djnice out of curiosity I insmod loaded the gazelle (A311D2) dovi.ko on the s905x4 in CE-NE. It gave me some warnings

[  710.528306] dovi: disagrees about version of symbol module_layout
[  710.528324] please rebuild ko: dovi
[  710.529127] dovi: disagrees about version of symbol register_dv_functions
[  710.529142] please rebuild ko: dovi`

And I only got SDR (even with the SOC check modified to include SC2) output when playing DV content. Maybe too many register differences.

Yes, very strange error, I just watched a few channels via Simple Client IPTV, some have this flickering even in the lower area, some don’t, unfortunately Amlogic-no is not an option for me, it really only seems to be certain SD X264 files, oh well Let’s see what the future brings…KEEP GOING LG Lutz

When you not test it if NO works the fix will never reach NE…

A311D2
Kernel warning after installing Dovi.ko.

Did you load the s905x2 dovi.ko? The gazelle module that @djnice posted is dovi_vs12.ko (A311D2), and is for kernel 5.4. It insmod loaded for me, but there was no DV playback which is not a surprise.

yes it gives this warning when I try to load the file “dovi_vs12.ko”.

@Portisch
I tested here is one sample reported earlier. And tested the full hd files too.
Seems like under Android beta 12 kernel 5.4.242, the CE 21 NE nightly has the blur issue under in h264 files, and the CE21 NO nightly not.
So the NO works better with these files, but there is no DV support…

Thx, so when it’s confirmed it works on NO than I can backport it to NE.

Hi !
Do you have a brand or model of “(fast) USB stick” to recommend ?

Speed of usb to install CE is not so important.
I used usb 3.0 plug to 2.0 port of my box, the 3.0 port for usb hub for 4 hdd portable

It is because the supplier does not provide it, so I ask the private people to provide a flash package.

I have 2 questions.

  1. Can I install pre release version of ne, over nightly build ne?
  2. I use a nokia 8010, is there an option for the remote to work via bluetooth and not infrared?

Can anyone confirm whether adding the x905x2 dovi.ko to an AMLogic S905x2-J box that has DV-licensed Android along with CoreELEC -ng 20.5 and the patch by @cpm will give the device true TV-Led, CM4.0, and DV HDR profile 7 FEL or is that just wishful thinking on my part?

The s905x2 module doesn’t work properly with the s905x4. It works without problems on the s922x because they are similar SOCs (both G12).

So is there any other DV-licensed device besides the Ugoos AM6+ or the Minix that the module will provide DV HDR profile 7 FEL, CM4.0, & true TV-Led to?

It’s yet to be determined that the module is responsible for making DV FEL, it could be the SOC itself. We might have a better idea about that in a week.

The TV-Led bug that @cpm worked to fix in CE-NG, appears to have been patched by AML some time ago in kernel 5.4. CE-NG should be handing TV-Led correctly already. Did someone test and verify there was a problem on the s905x4?
