thats very wierd! any idea how to debug that on my side so i can provide more information that might point to the error source?

1360

The sample you send me does it skip or drop frames? Most common error is that TV doesnā€™t switch to the correct framerate. In this case 23.976Hz

1361

i enabled debug logging and i can see that it switches from 60hz to 23.4/24.4hz (switching all the time) in the text that is displayed while watching the movie

does that help in any way?

can i somehow verify that? you mean drop on the TV side? i am not sure how to test that

1362

I am asking if your stutters are visible in this sample. Because I donā€™t see anything. Also when I enable onscreen player debug information I see neither drops nor skips in the count.

I am just making sure that issue is 100% reproducible with the sample.

1363

yes, i can make a small video how it looks on my tv if that helps?

1364

No I believe you. Now the big question is why you see it and I am not. Are you able to try a clean build on an empty sd card?

1365

i already created a small video, so here it is, maybe you see something that shouldnt be what i do not recognize because lack of skill :wink:
first playback is the small video, second playback the big one to show a bit more of that behaviour

https://filebin.net/uh1nr7ce0zlt09ql/WhatsApp_Video_2020-07-06_at_18.23.42.mp4?t=1ekrlmkh

i use emmc but i can try to create either a new profile or a fresh install on sd

1366

I am not sure I see it

Edit. Yes with the big file. But is it with the sample too?

1367

yes it is the same with the sample, but as longer the file plays, the worse the playback gets. so on the small file, thereā€™s only small ā€œjumpsā€ in the video and cracks in the sound.
i can also provide more of that file, maybe 200mb, if that helps?

did you turn on sound? because thats clearly to hear also in the short clip. sorry for the bad video file, its from an old samsung s3 (nearly 10 years old).

1368

I heard the sound but I figured it is due to the cut of the Video.

Iā€™ve tracked it down to a problem with resolution.ini

If I delete resolution.ini and quickly reboot the box before it gets rewritten then the box boots up fine in 1080p mode.

If I then change Kodiā€™s GUI to 2160p and reboot the box resolution.ini gets changed to hdmimode=2160p60hz and the box just hangs at a 4K version of the CoreELEC logo and I have to delete resolution.ini to get it to reboot normaly.

Iā€™m in the same boat as well, dropping my journalctl here: http://ix.io/2rbR

Iā€™m also normally running in 4k, but the boot only shows a small 1080p boot screen in the top left corner.

It does work but on reboot it does not display the Coreelec screen. It actually seems to load faster but goes directly to the kodi interface. On Odroid N2 Rev A

In my tvbox (S905X3) connected to an old 720p tv I have never been able to view the spashscreen image on boot, but Kodi has always worked.
For about a week, after a night build update i was amazed, during boot now Iā€™ve seen the splashscreen image but when Kodi starts the result is what I place in the image.
Browsing with difficulty in the menus with the remote I saw that the resolution is set correctly (1280x720p).
Changing it to 720x576p and returning to 720p, or just only if i change the Hz from 60 to 50 the GUI returns to be correct, but at every boot the problem reoccurs.
If I delete the resolution.ini file and reboot I no longer see the splashscreen image on boot but the Kodi GUI starts correctly, I see well on the screen.
I tried to force the hdmi resolution in the config.ini but the result is the same.
The question is: what has happened since the last updates?
Is this resolution.ini really necessary? :rofl:
My resolution.ini:

hdmimode=720p60hz
frac_rate_policy=0

@roidy Can you try this testbuild with native 4K GUI and remove config.ini hdmimode:
https://mega.nz/file/955yRI7Q#v1qFC_SzT4uEFDTQ6xDVo2mlaDPTUiRvyQRcsZ-aMHU

The disable gui scaling option was moved under Display Settings.

Thanks

1376

@Ray Yep, that works perfectly. hdmimode removed from config.ini, Kodi GUI set to 4k and Disable GUI scaling set to On, Kodi starts up perfectly.

Thanks :+1:

It also uses a native 4K GUI now on boot so if you notice the logo is never changed and there is no black screen on boot it just jumps from Logo to mediacenter GUI fluently. This is now for every mode.

Yep, itā€™s now a very smooth transition from boot logo to Kodi, it looks much better :+1:
