Nightly builds (NEW)

What remote and VFD conf do you use?

I installed the 20191218 nightly on my vim3 to check out the fan (loud but works). However the GUI is a weird color combo. This is a new install today - tried 20191217 nightly with same results yesterday. Color for live tv and hd/4k moves is correct only the GUI is wrong. Not seen this posted from any other vim3 users so it must be a problem with my system? Still using 9.2.1 - works great! Any ideas on my gui problem?

Another option is to edit the “config.ini” file directly on your sd card in Windows using notepad etc.

Thanks - did the edit with ssh as its more fun :sunglasses: Now it looks great and I’ve got a noisy fan to boot.

Hi, is this temperature normal without any activity in the box (x96 air 2/16) ?: CPU Speed ​​1908 Mhz | CPU Temp 64 C

Just to get you right: you are running CE 9.2.1 on your old 905X box and HDR to SDR works correctly for you?

Yep. I’ve compared both boxes to my PC running MPC-HC with MadVR and the old one is doing it properly, with vibrant colours and solid blacks. The new one is now doing conversion with the latest build, but colours are quite dim. It’s definitely doing conversion though, because if I disable it the the image is super washed out, but it’s still not right.

It’s not outputting AAC to PCM properly either. On the old box I get multi-channel output, but on the new one I get stereo only and it causes everything to stutter. If I set it to 2.0 channels the stuttering issue is resolved, but still no multi-channel audio. DD transcoding does work though. It also seemed to have an issue with DD+, but I think that might just have been a dodgy track as it didn’t work on the old box either and was super sped up on my PC.

Has Dolby Vision support been added or is the logo embbed in your test file?

Great news to me, have to brush off the dust of my old 905X box and see, if tonemapping works on my box as well. It doies not really work on my odroid n2, as you said: colours are dim and washed out. Thanks!

Could I ask @Compent or anyone else running TvHeadend server on their box if they’ve noticed a temporary halting of video but not audio when watching? I’m not sure if it’s just been a glitch with my set up but I’ve had a couple of times when the video has stopped for a second or two. It resumes normally with no “fast forwarding” of what’s been missed. I’ll be more vigilant now I suspect something’s going on.

On a lighter note, I have cured the unresponsive remote that only scrolled intermittently by changing the batteries! Who says that end users can’t problem solve?

P.s. I was watching BBC1 or ITV1, both in HD, when this happened.

At the moment none, I normally use a usb keyboard anyway, it’s something I’ll look into in the next few days though.
This looks to be the same remote so I’ll give it a go. NEW Repo for Remote files (Thanks to Betatester)

The remote obviously doesn’t work out the box with Coreelec but I’ve noticed it won’t turn it back on either when I shutdown from coreelec, I have to do the power, if I shut down from android the remote can turn it back on.

@mentasm S905X3 support has only been in CE for a few days now so it’s not at the same parity as S905X yet.

There is a menu option to enable HDR2SDR now as some of the devs was against having it on auto like the previous kernel.

Audio related issues will be solved when one of our devs with a L-PCM compatible receiver receives their Generic S905X3 device which is due in the next week or so.

@NathanX please read as above for HDR2SDR.

Will check that on the odroid n2 as well as on my old 905X box. May take some days due to time of the year, but will definitely report on that!

Thanks for the update. I have already tried the various HDR2SDR options on the last two nightly builds and both auto and on give the same results (i.e. it’s performing tone mapping, but colours are very muted), so it’s definitely not acting the same as the stable build on the S905X where colours look vibrant as they should. Great news about the audio! I realise this is a WiP and I’m very thankful for all of the work you’re doing. I’m sure any wrinkles will be ironed out :smiley:

Edit I will try and find a spare SD card and make another nightly build for the S905X to see if the tone mapping operates the same as it does when using the stable build.

I’ve not noticed anything but haven’t watched BBC or ITV yet but later I will try and report back.
