Ok - I’ll report tomorrow
//edit
Zero errors - normal viewing (not non-stop like last time) - no errors in logs.
Great job!

[beta]

@Portisch: Could you please post the kernel patch? I would like to implement it in mine.
Thank you.

[tomasiek]

And briefly describe what was the problem… to learn something new.

[Portisch]

@tomasiek Please make a last test with this image.
If I did not miss anything it should not crash and log is also empty.

When the test is successful I will push the fix afterwards, sure.

Last version: CoreELEC (community): 19.5-Matrix_devel_20221129091038 (Amlogic-ng.arm)

About 4-5h of playing today.
On last version (from sunday 20221126214413) was ok…I will test on Sunday’s version a little longer. Maybe I was too quick to think it was okay.

Bad news
Please run with this image, it include some more check and maybe it does not crash anymore.

Ok - I will test and report in few days.

[tomasiek]

I’m still testing, no bugs so far, but let’s wait maybe a week.

I installed your last build about an hour after you posted it and I’ve been playing video (youtube and nfs files) as much as I can over the last two days, probably over 10 hours of playtime and I haven’t hit a crash yet!

I’ll post again after some more time has passed.

I appreciate the help!

[tomasiek]

Ok - playing these 4 days:
~8h IPTV - daily,
~2h from Disney+ - daily,
~2x 1.5h movie from Netflix
~1 movie from plex - 3h

Each with the lights on. No errors, no problems.

@beta

amvideocap: make user/video thread intersection more safe

[beta]

@Portisch: Thank you very much for your efforts. I highly appreciate your work and the work of the rest of the team!

[tomasiek]

@Portisch - Ok, after a few days of really intensive testing, seeing everything, through all plugins, in different resolutions, formats, etc etc - everything works.
I really admire your knowledge and skills. You are great.
When can we expect this fix in night releases?

[Portisch]

It’s already in newest CE-19 and CE-20 nightly.

Also 2.1.4 Hyperion.NG is now released already in CE repo @Lord-Grey

Forgive for my English. I bought a LED strip 2812b and Arduino. Install firmware to ARUDUINO. Install Hyperion NG on TV box with Coreelec 20 Ne. Amlogic S905X4. And I can not activate the video capture according to USB in hyperion ng. How to be?

[Portisch]

No, you don’t need to enable USB video grabber. You need to enable your Arduino as like adalight LED hardware.

And enable the inbuilt video Amlogic grabber:

Here is more help:
