two things.
1st I disabled cec so my box always on. No need to turn off at all.
2nd with those with Blue screen did you do the reset button press underneath again when booting CE for 1st time?
Yep cec is bad with this box for now but if you enable it and let your tv suspend your CE box in sleeping mode when power off, so the next time you power on your tv you will be able to resume CE from front box power button manually. I just tried now couple of time and thats work (with the new dtb from @MrMind)
EDIT : cec work and will wake up your box when power on your tv with @MrMind dtb
Hi all
I know its not a stable build but I get a Subtitle issue with the ng build 20241119 nightly when I start a movie and then when I select st CE need very longtime to show it or sometimes never …so I have to stop and restart the movie and then it show the sub immediately.
I would like to know if there is something to tweak to accelerate st display without upgrading build or something ?
This happens with stable build too but after few seconds it show the subtitles
Thanks for your words
Ok @Sholander thanks. Blue screen fixed with @MrMind dtb. I will try -ne build as soon it support DV / FEL MEL for sure @Atlas I confirm your issue with srt subtitle which do not start with CE nightly or need many time to start when needed
Anyway Is it possible to install 21.1.1 Omega STABLE -ng build working for this Kinhank G1
box or not for now ?
Thanks to you all
Hi you all from Corsica !
I just got my brand new KinHank G1 yeaaahhhh
Thanks @hungphutho for all your best you gave us ! @Sholander you say we must install nightly but why ??? and about dtb you say but there is no any dtb (kinhank) in nightly build ???
I check stable ng omega 21.1.1 build and I see that there is the famous dtb for kinhank but may be not the last from @MrMind ??? well I do not want boring you nor anyone but I’m a little disappointed there ? I’m not sure what to do exactly now about that all
Cheers !
On NG branch
settings/ system info and look for hardware section first line CPU: s905X4 rev b
On NE
demsg logs can read the SOC revision type. (ssh and type dmesg | paste )
Yes, for some unknown reason CE team removed Kinhank .dtb from -ng nightlies and stable versions. So you depend on Kinhank .dtb files that are dealt here in this topic. Almost like like dealing drugs on the street corners…
Using nightlies over stable is preferred since stable version is rather old and does not have numerous fixes since stable version was released.
Btw, although I know that G1 is abandoned from further development, which is sad because many of us use this box as is (and I must say that apart from slower SoC, it performs in several ways better that praised AM6B+) and just don’t understand why is a perfectly working .dtb removed from device_trees folder.
Probably will not get an answer to this, so it will remain only a rhetorical question of a disappointed long time CE user.
I do follow the forum, but have not noticed the reason, and the answer to “check the commit logs” to find the reason is as sad as dealing .dtb files in forum topics,
DTBs files availability are not a big deal, anyone can find them from archive files.
As long as drivers’ packages are installed, it will keep working just fine.
I am concerned just with -ng branch, and that is why I’m trolling and comparing it and finding it a better performer than a AM6B+. I have both boxes side by side and with completely the same and identical setup, I daily use G1 because it does and plays everything the same as AM6B+, and because:
My G1 has a faster and more dependable ethernet.
My G1 NEVER loses HDMI signal, which my AM6B+ very annoyingly randomly does.
My G1 reboots and shuts down instantly, while my AM6B+ takes about 60-90 sec to do, and sometimes only after second/third attempt.
Apart from that, not concerned with CE, it has an Widevine L1 certified Android, and it costs 3x less…
Yep, I mean only the USB drive that has all data and OS, as reboot and shutdown issues are more likely related to USB or the software changes which make compatibility problems .
I am sure that either your CE installation is faulty or damaged, or your card is faulty.
I have amb6+, that booted 20s, and my homatics boxes, those booted 25 sec, not as you wrote.
Secondly the ugoos menu performance is better like the 905x4.
Third, some filetypes not support the 905x4, however the 922 support.
I have no any single problem with reboots.
Hello,
are you talking about white artifacts with interlaced videos ?
I have a rev D model, I installed CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-21.1.1-Omega_nightly_20241121-Generic.img.gz + (sha256) 8dce97e2bf762d13af5c19fba82ef0738207615b3dc8f47e50b3f64d678fdf69 sc2_s905x4_kinhank_g1_new_revision.dtb + dovi.ko
and I still get the white artifacts.
Is there a way to download a nightly build from previous days ? I can’t try the 20241118 nightly you talk about.
