All is working, great work, you’re best guys 
Has anyone noticed a problem with the PlayerProcess VideoDAR with the nightly builds after the kernel bump?
H.265 content using the AMLogic decoder always indicates a video aspect ratio of 0.25
Aspect ratio is correct for H.264 content or if software decoder is used
The initial decoder info is correct, but after that the aspect ratio value is always 0.25
CAMLCodec::OpenDecoder hints.width(1920), hints.height(800), hints.codec(173), hints.codec_tag(0)
CAMLCodec::OpenDecoder hints.fpsrate(24000), hints.fpsscale(1001), video_rate(4004)
CAMLCodec::OpenDecoder hints.aspect(2.400000), video_ratio.num(1), video_ratio.den(1)
CAMLCodec::OpenDecoder hints.orientation(0), hints.forced_aspect(1), hints.extrasize(86)
AAC decoding doesn’t seem to be working in the nightlies.

Hi everyone,
I am on N2+ 4G and updated to the latest nightly but I cannot get any playback at all.
I have a black screen and it takes ages to launch the player after I clicked on a movie. It used to work smoothly before so I don’t understand what’s happening and wanted to provide feedback.
I created a log (my first one) so hopefully it can help:

Thanks
Jan 20 19:32:44.161425 CoreELEC kernel: check sum fail !
Could you try to update to same version again?
Out of curiosity: what exactly is the gain with the new kernel ?

There is any chance to install Coreelec on a A95X F3 Air 4GB Ram / 32GB Rom? Or from where to download Nightly build 20200112 (i see that other have successfully installed the coreelec with that nightly) ? The box is with sm1_ac213_4g and can’t install coreelec 
LE: I finally did it! I used CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-19.4-Matrix_nightly_20220121-Generic and sm1_s905x3_4g. The only thing that it’s not working it’s Bluetooth. Also, coreelec it’s keeping my Androidbox always on (stuck with “Boot” message and lights on) because it’s only entering in standby (it doesn’t know to shutdown the box) but at least I have DTS:X and TrueHD. Also, to have a functional remote control, I copied on sdcard a remote.conf file found on internet.
So it looks like this problem was caused by this commit:
From what I can guess by this commit, the aspect ratio value (ratio_control) is set to 0x3FF to indicate that the sample aspect ratio height and width has been saved. In most of the other decoders, and previously for the H265 decoder, the aspect ratio was calculated at the same time. Not sure why this new commit omits the actual aspect ratio recalculation for the H265 decoder, although the commit message kinda implies that the application using the decoder should be doing the aspect ratio calculation.
This ratio_control value then gets converted to a scaled value by left shifting by 8 (giving a value of 261888) and is used by Kodi to determine the aspect ratio to display, by dividing 65536 by ratio_control as per this CE commit, which results in the incorrect aspect ratio of 0.25:
What are the chances of getting this patched in CE? I don’t know enough about what is going on in the code, or why the change was done in this way, to suggest a proper fix but the following may provide some ideas:
-
Same problem (ratio_control being a flag value rather than the calculated AR) in the H264 decoder resulted in the aspect ratio calculation being added into the dec_status function (resulting in the AR being recalculated at roughly the same time it used to be)
-
Use the AR calc from the removed calc_ar function in the new aspect_ratio_set function
It’s just wrong visual info that kodi PlayerProcess receive.
Will be fixed later, I have a patch for it.
For decoding it uses correct values.
Thanks
I realised the decoding was fine, but I was using the aspect ratio as part of doing some resolution independent frame capture. Can work around the problem by just calculating the AR separately but went down the rabbit hole instead…

Sorry for the delay, I got rushed into hospital.
I’ll do some testing over the weekend and let you know.
get well soon

I tried it with all the nightlies from 20220112 to 20220129 but each stalls on boot.
Cheers! Appreciate it
Not sure if this has been reported before or whether this is the right place to report this - this forum is quite hard to search properly, and it seems there is no issue reporting on GitHub.
On my Odroid N2+, CoreELEC 19.4-Matrix_nightly_20220130 renders a broken GUI at 4K resolution. It looks very fuzzy, almost as if scanlines were somehow interlaced. All GUI elements are affected - menus, subtitles, etc.
4K content itself seems to be rendered correctly.

Earlier builds may be affected as well. Most likely the issue appeared sometime in January, as I hadn’t used my box since early January when everything still looked fine.
