I have not created any dtb, you can launch the script from ssh

nano script.sh //Add the script
chmod +x script.sh
./script.sh //Yes to reboot

Thanks. Will try later in the day. How to go back to the previous dtb?

You can backup dtb.img using

/bin/mount -o rw,remount /flash
cp /flash/dtb.img /flash/dtb.img.bak

//To  restore
mv /flash/dtb.img.bak /flash/dtb.img

Does anyone know why this happens when playing S&M benchmark test disc from USB?
It’s Player-led DV and playing certain test pattern shows this issue.
21.1.1 nightly 20240928.


I have a Nokia 8010 and can test later this week.

Hi vpeter
I use this command to mount android data partition, but it returns error:

CoreELEC:~ # mount /dev/userdata /media/data/
mount: /var/media/data: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/userdata, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call.

dmesg shows:
[ 365.073246@1]- UDF-fs: warning (device mmcblk0p29): udf_fill_super: No partition found (2)

Do you have any idea what happened? FS is not supported by kernel?

Just want to be clear that I am very new to CE.

I am using the latest generic nightly CE-NG with the dovi.ko file. I tried the stable release for 21.1.1 but had the issues so I decided to try the nightly build. Still no luck. Whenever I play any DV FEL media, it stutters a ton and the audio comes completely out of sync. Has anyone else had this issue? DV MEL plays fine. I am starting the playback by selecting index.bdmv.

I do want want mention I am using a local network share from my NAS.

This seems to only happen if I resume playing at a certain spot in the movie or seek through it.

Ethernet or wifi? Try switching to the other

Follow config in this post for chunk size and caching:

I just tried all of that and tried an external hard drive and still the same issue. Whenever I seek or resume, it just stutters and black screens multiple times.

Can you share your current setup? I only had my test done by having it plugged directly into TV (Cube 2nd Gen → Hisense U60GS) and playback thru index.bdmv works fine even with FF/RW in latest nightly. I did mention that it re-triggers DV whenever you press FF/RW as well.

Someone mentioned it might be related to using a receiver/soundbar which I’ll try on my HT later today. Might just be difference in device (S905X4 vs S922Z) but the other person having issues was using a AM6B+ so probably not that either…

I saw the post about that. I have it set Dune HD → LG C3 → audio passes through eARC to AVR. I first had the Dune HD plugged into the AVR and it was giving the same problem.

The only way I can seek through a movie is to go into the Blu-ray menu and select a chapter. Resuming and FF/RW still doesn’t work.

Just retried it on my HT setup. Cube 2nd Gen → Onkyo RZ50 → LG C1. BDMV playback (the folder) thru index.bdmv worked fine with no stutters for me as well, even when I FF/RW. This is with audio passthrough (TrueHD Atmos). I use an SMB share over wifi to access.

My install runs on a flash drive with the emmc install mod. Even for a nightly I had to do this because my flash drive has horrible random reads/writes.

Besides that, if the install was not the issue, I’m afraid you’ll need to post a log for the devs to check. We do have different devices after all. Hope this gets sorted out for you.

Just installed 21.1.1 omega 20241009 , i moved the dovi.ko to storage and i get the dv option in settings but dv files play in hdr , i read above that the dv is temporary removed after 23/8 version but i cannot find a way to download older ones, first time user of coreelec ,witch version should i get for dv playback especially p7, and how do i go to older releases the download page only has new ones
btw im on atv12 latest, dv is enabled on android and in settings

Which version of CE did you install . -ng or -ne? There is no P7_FEL in -ne version.
For -ng version did you follow carefully all steps in installation instructions from here ?

the latest ng , is not just p7 it doesnt do dv at all even tho there is a setting for dv and its enabled, i did follow the steps but i moved the dovi.ko file before the install in the usb root and after to the storage folder, just to make sure, the specific version i installed is
CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-21.1.1-Omega_nightly_20241009-Generic.img

failed to paste logs.
is there a different way to get the log out?

What does it say under System Information → Video → Display supported HDR types?

This is a log from me resuming and seeking a chapter in a FEL movie. If I resume in the middle of the movie or seek, it just keeps going to black screen in a loop. I don’t see anything odd in the log but maybe someone else will.

Do you know if a 3rd gen Cube works with this?
