Odroid N2 test builds

I think I know why. We had similar issues with 3.14 when we added crazycat.

I’m using TVHeadend but the wakeup command is inside Settings / PVR & Live TV / Power Saving

Could not reproduce this error, maybe because I run CE now from eMMC, and mentioned error was when I used my SD card.
I have some “Crash Logs” from that time if they are of any interest.

Ahh I see. I where it is. Let me see if I can fix it up.

Yes, Complainer is my middle name :innocent:

@Daaave dvb wakeup script should work. Can you try if this little script works:

Just execute it and poweroff your device. It should power it back on in 3min.

I rather have USB power off with no red LED, than “normal” red LED on and USB power ON.

Yes came back on from shutdown :slight_smile:

So it should also with the setwakeup.sh script. Maybe a kodi bug idk.

Ok Thanks for looking anyway. I’ll see if I can find anything in some Kodi / TVHeadend forums

Hello, there are advances on “automatic switching color space / color depth” ?

Where is the CE odroid N2 source code for thoradia to update your addons?

I would guess here by the looks of it.

Found it. There’s a setting in Settings / PVR & Live TV / Power Saving called “Backend Idle Time”. Switching this off means it’ll always wake up to record.

It is working. Needs more testing:

https://test.coreelec.org/ray/CoreELEC-Amlogic.arm-9.0-devel-1555074085.tar

It includes cdu’s recent cs cd autoswitch.
This testbuild has a true 4K GUI (not scaled) as it was and default in 3.14.

There is a bug that cd only switches if attr is cleared one time (can be done in autostart.sh)

echo ‘’ > /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/attr

So is it working now?

Ok time for the AVR update.
AC3 5.1 (DD) is picked up correctly
DTS 5.1 is picked up correctly
5.1 channel DD+ is picked up correctly
7.1 channel DD+ is picked up correctly
5.1 TrueHD is picked up correctly
7.1 TrueHD is picked up correctly
5.1 DTS-HD MA is picked up correctly
7.1 DTS-HD MA is picked up correctly
DTSX is picked up as 7.1 DTS-HD MA (my AVR doesn’t support DTSX)
Atmos is picked up as 7.1 TrueHD, again not supported by my AVR
DTS-HD HRA is not detected at all, but also not supported by my AVR.

PCM can be simulated in the GUI if I recall correctly.
Enable stereo upmix
Pick number of channels
2.0 is normal
2.1-5.1 AVR remains in stereo mode, all GUI sounds sound like they are running at 50% pitch and speed
7.0 and 7.1
All audio is lost, AVR detects no audio channels

LPCM 7.1 has issue as above
Films with AAC also have issue as above

So to summarise, all bitstreaming is working perfectly for the formats my AVR supports.
Issue is with anything PCM (Kodi GUI, LPCM and AAC) which is generated by the device.
Selecting any channel value above 2.0 results in audio issues.

Edit
Looks like the multichannel pcm had been a thorn in amlogic for a while. Though looks like some progress has been made on the vero-4k.

Edit2 - add device and setup
Odroid N2 > Pioneer VSX922 > LG 4k TV

In new devel version name from 12th april:
CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.0-devel-1555076659.tar
what does ng stand for?

Next Generation
It landed there by mistake.

Got mine up and running. Did some audio passthrough tests.

N2 –> Denon X1400h –> 1080p Sony

Dolby THD/Atmos works
DTS-X works
No single DD+ works (Incl Netflix), but the one from AMZN. This one passthrough perfectly.
