Does coreelec support auto framerate on this box
Yes it does
I’ve been running the most recent nightlies on my 4K+, and for the past couple days have been having odd issues with the whole box just outright locking up - once while playing a video, and several times after stopping a video and just navigating. The box gets very slow and laggy, then just hangs. Once it reloaded CE on its own.
Is this the issue being talked about here? Is it necessary to downgrade to 20, or could I just put an older 21 nightly on, maybe from July?
I’ve seen the same problem on mine since getting it with CE21 and CE20 since downgrading so it’s obviously something I’ve installed but never been able to pin down the cause. Tailing the kodi.log doesn’t offer any obvious answers either as nothing is written to the log that’s out of the ordinary (and nothing at all while it’s hung).
Ugh. Just downgraded, so I hope not. Thing is I have VERY FEW addons. So unless it’s “library auto updater” or “extended info” or “up next” or… uh… a scraper? YouTube? Multiweather? I have no idea what it could be.
Dear Coreelec Team,
i founded some interesting issue (bug). Im using the Homatics Box R 4K Plus box, and because of subtitle im using the < algorithmdirtyregions>0< /algorithmdirtyregions> settings in advancedsettings.xml.
I discovered this settings cause microstutters with contents 1080p 25fps x264. I didn’t notice that with other video types yet.
Without this settings returns back the stutters with subtitles, but the video not stutters in this case.
I’ve tested with the old firmware with CE21, and now with new firmware (5310) with CE21 and CE20.
It is not “lifesaver”, but if you have time check this issue, many thanks for that!
Thanks for your hard work again!

Although I can see there is a 2 year period between major versions, looking at the time from Alpha 1 to release is generally between 6-11 months (based on the previous 3 Kodi releases).
Since Omega Alpha 1 came out in 25 April 2023, should we not be expecting Omega release around Jan/Feb 2024 or is there something I don’t know about Omega?
Every release takes around 2 years if I see correctly here: https://kodi.wiki/view/Releases
yes, I do agree with that. I’m probably just surprised that Alpha has been released early.
Hi, I have problem with no audio at all when AVR is switch off during boot. Setup is Homatic → AVR → TV. When AVR is off (just pass signal to/from homatics, there is no sound after each reset, video is fine, cec works) - http://ix.io/4CX9 (i turned AVR on before uploading the log via corelelec menu, but of course so still no sound from CE).
If I restarted homatics with AVR on, then audio work’s. http://ix.io/4CXa.
I had same problem on nightly omega (I didn’t know what was the reason), so I used old generic s905x3 box (with old CE18) in mean time. After fresh install nightly CE20 I accidentally restarted with avr on/off. On today`s nightly it’s same. It’s new installation from image and settings is default.
If I connect Homatics to tv there is always sound (I don’t turn off / suspend homatics, it’s still on).
Any ideas? Anything I could test. Thank you very much
edit: the sound work’s after I boot with AVR on and swicth it off later
edit2 dmesg:
- boot avr off, no audio - http://ix.io/4CXh, then turn avr on - http://ix.io/4CXi
- restart with avr on - http://ix.io/4CXj
To be fair, I’ve noticed that when the power glitches and the Homatics and TV boot up at the same time, I basically get no picture or anything until I reboot the Homatics again. Just something I’ve been ignoring 
My configuration is similar to yours and i have no issue even when CoreELEC starts with the TV and Soundbar OFF.
In my case ,during boot process ,my TV is turned of by the CE (CEC) and the TV is turning on the soundbar (this one needs about 7 seconds to become fully operational ).
But sometimes ,it might happen that the soundbar doesn’t switch on the correct input ,so i will get “no signal” on TV.
However ,pressing Home on my remote ( Home button is set as Homepage in Kodi),will switch the soundbar to the CE input.
Usually is hard to track down the cause for such issues ,mostly because we all have different devices which may or may not play nice together .
@vpeter or @Portisch ,is there a way to “force” an EDID on boot,something like “gedid” on LibreELEC ?
No, as the TV needs to be available on very early boot stage. The driver init will fail if TV is not available. And it can not be reloaded by driver design.

my use case is
- tv is on, avr is off, homatics (audio) is working
- reboot (first I can see is CoreELEC New Era boot logo) and audio stops
- turn avr on, reboot, (first I can see is CoreELEC New Era boot logo) and audio works
So AVR passthrough is blocking homatic boot?
well I don’t see much similar. My TV is on, AVR off (eARC), Homatics (on), everything works fine. Reboot Homatics and sounds is gone (video and cec works). There is no problem with hdmi source on AVR, it’s correct one. Pass Through Source is set to Homatics input.
TV on, AVR on, Homatics on. Reboot Homatics and sound is working again/still.
so it’s same with audio? Homatics Box R 4K Plus - #1480
If i play a uhd bd iso with these boxes do i get dv/lldv or just hdr ? 
I have been following this topic for a long time, and I feel that the device and the system supporting Dolby Vision have not stable yet.
Do you recommend the acquisition of this device? Or wait for the possibility of a better device in the future?
Not stable? Where do you read that?
Stable release=Stable device …
