With the latest nightly S912 box (Tanix TX92) keeps rebooting instead of shutting down. I left out a few builds because of traveling so I cannot put a pin on which nightly release it started.
Any idea what might be causing this?
Iāve noticed several times (especially after upgrading from build to build) that my TV setting for aspect ratio is reset. Shifts from āJust Scanā to ā16:9ā.
And on the latest build (April 27), Netflix is not showing image (black screen). When stopping a stream (blind controls) the aspect ratio resets again.
Any hints on what to collect? Debug log?
S912 device + Whitelist for all supported TV modes + Refresh Rate 1 sec pause (no option for On Start/Stop).
Cheers,
anthonws.
EDIT:
Debug log here: kodi.log (2.0 MB)
Looks like itās not all Netflix streams. Some play correctly, others donāt.
#1 Iāve updated the Netflix Plugin to the latest from https://github.com/CastagnaIT/plugin.video.netflix (Iāll open an issue in that repository)
#2 Iāve been able to repro the issue where I try to play a couple of streams and thereās a black screen, with sound
#3 On exiting those problematic streams (stop) the Aspect Ratio changes from āJust Scanā to ā16:9ā
Looking into the debug log I didnāt find anything eye catchingā¦

On latest āCoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.0-nightly_20190429.tarā CoreElec Configuration doesnāt keep Estuary skin settings for color, background, fontā¦
Normal for all icons:
Only CE Configuration:
Am I really the only one with this problem? 
It is a known issue and we know the cause.

Okay, then I can stop worrying 
- Do you use Wi-Fi to connect?
- If first answer yes, than in connection settings please check if your ethernet adapter not enabled? If not enabled, try to enable it.
No, I use ethernet only, WiFi is disabled.
Friend @relkai can resurrect the link that addon.
Iām having a problem sometimes it turns out the tuner, Iāve had the same problem before.
I would like to test the updated addon with an older version of Coreelec.
Well, I think my tuner might be in trouble.
It wasnāt a link posted by me and you need to ask @afl1.

There still remains the lingering problem with TVheadend that if you select a channel to soon after a reboot it subsequently gets stuck and will not allow any more channel changes. If you however wait for all boot up events to completely finish (about 30 secs) this problem doesnāt arise.
I am wondering if it has something to do with the Zomboid VPN addon which is just about the last process to launch and would be responsible for changing the apparent IP address that the TVH server talks back on.

My two S905 boxes have started to auto-update nightlies, even though updates are set to Manual. Is this by design?
It is not possible to automatically update to the newest version. You also wonāt see any update notifications.
I use this settings. Nightly is auto updating on manualā¦and I get update notifications too daily.
Can confirm this update behaviour
Yes itās a feature not a bug.
The idea behind nightlies is to keep everybody up to date. That way, if a new issue is introduced, we can detect and fix it quickly without it lingering in the code base for days or weeks until someone accidentally stumbles on it, and then weād have to scratch our heads looking for the problem.
So weāve made the decision to force auto updates to be always on.
Itās not really a feature since the Manual setting is now being ignored.
The reason I select manual is because I donāt want to auto-update nightlies but like to be notified of the new update so I can check out the changes.
So is the only way to prevent this to remove the custom channel settings?
What is the Auto setting for?

I have to agree that this is not good policy. A setting is now not behaving as expected which by definition make it a bug. As far as I can tell its not even achieving its stated objective since it requires a manual reboot to trigger the update and there is no knowing when the update arrives to know when to initiate that trigger.
I have no problem with this been setup as Auto. However for the longest time the Auto update was broken on my system and never drew in the normal nightlies so I gave up on it and always downloaded the TAR. I only did intermittent updates simply because quite often the changes were not applicable to my system.
So great to have AUTO update working again on mys system - but no to breaking the manual switch.

This change makes it feel like āYou are the product.ā
Everyone does not have the time to deal with the bugs/changes introduced by nightlies.
I did not like it when it was introduced with N2. This makes it worse as it is going to be like this for all devices.
The definition of ānightlyā builds is using a system thatās on the bleeding edge. New features, changes, updates, regressions, major breakages, anything can happen. We donāt have time for chasing problems that were introduced weeks ago because users stay on old nightly builds.
We are currently integrating a new device (and kernel) into the coreelec-9.0 repository. Itās very important to avoid build fragmentation as much as possible. Itās also very important for problems and issues to surface as soon as possible, and not be delayed because you have a problem, and donāt have time to report it and simply stay on an old build.
If you want a stable build, use a CoreELEC 9.0.1 Stable.
