Need testers for S912/S905W green/red lines issue

Please check with 9.0.2 release if you have this issue too or not with same settings.
So you could see this red lines and check if it cause same flickering/stop or not.
If the same, than it could be different issue with DI for S905W and you still need to use disable deinterlace. If no such issue than collect full logs(dmesg and kodi) for both 9.0.2 and nightly to compare. Don’t choose “disable deinterlace” in both cases.

Thanks for your fast reply :wink:
With every release before 9.2 i had to disable deinterlace because i had the problem with the green/red lines.
With version 9.2 i have the same problem with the flickering/stop.
Now i am at the latest nightly and its the same like 9.2.
I build a cooling solution for my box so it is not overheating.
What i tried:
overclock gpu
change cpu govenor
tried different settings in kodi player settings

coreelec version: nightly_20190522

dmesg:
https://pastebin.com/QyFUibty
kodi log:
https://pastebin.com/zEGwuNMu

If you need more i can provide it.

Please execute command dispinfo while watching iptv and send me a link
Try to set default refresh rate to 50Hz to minimize screen switching for IPTV
And in PVR/TV settings ->Playback->Fallback Framerate choose 50Hz if most of you IPTV is 50 Hz

I set your settings.

hm…

Colour depth: 10-bit

looks like it plays iptv in 10bit
Try to select force 8 bit in coreelec setting, reboot and check if it plays normal or not…
also send me please dispinfo again after this actions while watching tv

changed setting for 8 bit , nothing changed flickering is there.

In that case for now I don’t know how it can be fixed. Something is wrong with DI in S905W.
Several users on new 4.9 code have also ‘pre_de_irq’ issues sometimes.
So only solution now for this issue is “disable deinterlace” feature.
As it will be fixed in 4.9 than it possible can be include in 3.14 code

Thank you for your time and effort!
I will look at it again when the new kernel is out.
Have a nice day

You welcome
I sent 2 more commands for test in PM.
