please forgive any missing info am not 100% sure whats needed as i am experimenting ditching windows and for this being a wall of text
i purchased the minix box about 2 years ago and it wasn’t perfect for my needs and put in the tech draw, mother in law wanted to watch some bits i have so was going to give it to the mother in law as would do for her needs but after updating and puting vpeter’s java image on it then installed to internal, i found it was very nice for my needs and the speed was very good so set it up and tested for a week
So i then thought well lets get a N2+ as should be faster and i’ll keep it if i am deffinately ditching windows, it came with a 128gig emmc, so all set up installed to internal again and first i noticed it took a lot longer to boot than the minix did, carried on getting things going database linked and sources added etc, then on to my skin aeon mq9 and thats when it got real bad and basically lagged out, remote commands taking 30 seconds or more but cpu info etc carried on in real time on settings widget, could this be emmc lagging it down? as the default estuary skin appears fine and the minix handles aq9 with no problem, i guess i need to check in on a sd card install for make sure, just wondering if anyone has any experiance or ideas on the emmc? and why a skin causes it to fail
well sorry for the wall of text, i think it is the onboard ir not playing nice, covering with some electrical tape and using a usb reciver it is behaving a lot better, still quite slow to boot though
was extremly sleepy when making this post, have played around and have experimented more still some issue’s but will repost with more info and things i have tried
hopfully this will be a much better attempt at help.
Hardware N2+ going to Arcam avr to panasonic TV full hdmi 2.0 chain, 2160p and HDR, playback is perfectly fine and no issue’s but if i suspend the device when I wake it i have a black screen SSH still works and i can shut the box down with remote and switch it back on, have tried the 4:2:2 option also
my other issue is extremely slow boot when installed to internal 128gig card, from SD card it boots in less than 30 seconds, from eMMC it’s about 3 mins which is why i started to try to suspend the device not full shutdown
You will find your setting by the cat command and replace 1080p50hz by your value. When send null to the display mode it should show no HDMI input on TV. If you get than a picture on the second echo command I guess this display reset after suspend happen maybe to early.
Than it’s a different issue. AVR is between CE device and TV? Than you should try to connect the CE device directly to TV and use passthrough from CE device to TV and back to AVR by the ARC HDMI port.
i loose all forms of HD audio then which is a definate killer for device needs, and arc is just a pain once switched on, and this is the only device i’ve ever used to give HDMI problems
do you have any thoughts why the eMMC boot is so slow? as i’d like to suspend or a fast boot be available
little disapointed with the N2+ as mentioned in my first attempt at a help thread the Minix as awful as this sounds is better so far
i have been testing with the official 19.4 image for slow boot and resume/suspend, the remote issue i am pretty sure is all down to the the MQ9 skin as i noticed it pegs one CPU core to 75 - 85%
