Nightly builds

Sorry for the post! I tried also from usb stick, youtube or netflix addon. Same issue.

I switched the kodi ui reaolution to 3840x2160p and the effect is the same

Gui 1080 ok, no zooming
Gui 4k nok, zooming

What skin is that?

Did you enable or disable the Don't scale GUI option in CoreELEC settings without rebooting? We recommend to have the option unchecked (that’s the default).
If you set up screen calibration before, you will have to reset it.
If none of the above helps, try to follow this post:

same problem here with latest nightly, the screen is zoomed in when watching 4K content, no settings changed from previous nightly, 1080p GUI and “don’t scale GUI” is disabled.

See post above

thanks, now working. :slight_smile:

Quick one - is the newest nightly bumped to the new kernel that was being worked on for N2? What version of kernel should I be looking out for? Keen to give it a crack.

The upcoming kernel is going to be based on the stock Android kernel, which is 4.9.113. It’s not in the nightlies yet.

After updating to nightly 20191204 (NG Generic), after each reboot I am continuing to receive the prompt about an update being available.

I have updates set to the nightly custom channel.

There is no reason to run nightly right now as they are not being produced, there was a one off build produced for people with CEC issues.

Thanks for the clarification.

Does using a stock kernel mean that CE will be able to run Kodi 19?

No, it’s unrelated. What it means is that we’ll be using the same kernel version as the Android on these boxes, meaning better compatibility, less headaches with kernel bumps from SBC vendors and proper git history. We’re only porting commits that are required for CoreELEC to work well, and from what we’ve seen so far, it’s considerably better than the current kernel we’re on with 9.2.1.

Is it crazy to hope that there will be a nightly release with mentionend kernel as used by android?

be patient, coming soon…

Patience is my strong suit… not. :slight_smile: But thanks a lot for your info!

Does this also mean that hardware drivers that are currently available for Android but not currently available for use within CE can be utilised to expand hardware compatibility?

Hardware drivers are separate from the kernel, you would have to elaborate more on what doesn’t work and we can then see what we can do.

The driver that I had in mind has already been shown not to exist in open source format compatible with CE but there is an android driver, so for a moment I thought that there was some hope but as the drivers are separate from the kernel, it confirms that there is no option at the moment.
