Nightly builds (NEW)

This video can be playbacked on 9.2.1, but not on the new ng build

Interesting VLC only plays the Audio on my PC.
Interesting I read this
I tried with VIM3L but won’t even open.
AVS Chinese Codec (2)

but It can be played on 9.2.1(C2/N2/VIM3)

The actualy nightly have always the error with the lost CEC signal.

Once I have this error too, but then I have TV/BOX/AVR unlugged from the power for 10s, and get CEC working again.

This is not the correct solution. The problem is, this is an Software error and not a hardware error.

How do you make that conclusion ??
What other devices do you have plugged into the TV ?
What mystery devices are between your TV and the Mystery Box you’re testing with?
And the TV and cables you’re using ??
Very easy to blame the software.

Not all manufacturers create things equal and follow the correct CEC standards and this inherently creates problems, what works for 1 does not always work for another.

Before saying there is a problem you need to elaborate much more than you have otherwise how do you expect your problems to ever get resolved.

You wouldn’t ring a mechanic and say your car is having a problems and then hang up would you, you would describe the problem in detail, so please try to use the same common sense when posting problems here.

We do not have magic crystal balls.

My Box A95X Max S905X2 will not shut down it restarts with new Kernel 4.9 builds.

Very easily. With all versions, CEC ran very reliably. As of version 9.2.1, CEC no longer runs reliably. The N2 Box loses the CEC signal and no longer responds to entries on the TV remote control. If I use version 9.2.0 again, everything works again. I have already given a LOG to Portisch. I can make one for you again, but it will probably be around 50 MB in size.
btw. here is a old LOG with the same error.

Updated to 15th nightly and after reconfigure hyperion.ng all working fine again.

this file ( UHD Panasonic Hokkaido and Tokio, and other 4k sdr files ) does flickering just at me in new nightly versions ?

Device H96X Max2, TV - Philips 55PUS7303

Thanks.

@Keltek and @OlpioFort can both of you give the feedback of your GT-King devices in this thread? Have you tested booting with toothpick method?

Here is my experience
1 updated from 20191204 Nightly with all plug-in installed and all stuff working ; result in bootloop.
After the booting screen with update progress the gt-king tries to boot but after beelink image appear the screen goes black and after that the beelink image is popping again , this in chain , think at least 5 minutes and then I took off the power cord

2
Flashed 906p0 from scratch booted and switched off , formatted sd card , flashed latest available nightly(20191214), did the first boot with inserted sd using toothpick metod = same result as above

3
Flashed again 906p0 from scratch and booted , formatted sd card and flashed with etcher the stable 9.2.1 , booted successfully with toothpick method configured , switched off, powered on the stable build clean without configuring media and/or plugin , updated to the latest nightly = same result as the above

I’m not at home now , and I’ll be back tomorrow evening , if there is a way to create a log / debug tell me how and I’ll try if needed

4k content seems to be broken for me.
TV says it’s receiving a 4k input but looks like 1080p.
E.g. I can see the top left 1/4 of the video and osd.

Also happens if changing GUI to 4k.
All I can see is top left 1/4 of screen.

Is this something to do with scaling.
I remember quite a while back we had the opposite where it would playback only in the top left corner and we had to remove something from guisettings but I cannot remember what it was

That’s it.
Thanks boot2k3, working properly again now

After 2 hours in standby with black screensaver to turn off the ambilight, I turned on again to watch TV and leds turned on but if I go to watch TV they do nothing.

Entered to hyperion addon to turn off and turn on again, and box freezed, I entered via ssh to reboot, loged in, but reboot doesn’t do anything.

Has anyone tried x265 files that previously were reported to skip frames?

I haven’t tried x265 but I did retry and mpeg2 sample that used to give both my C2 and N2 fits and it played back perfect with the 1214 nightly and new experimental kernel.
