thanks! for information Pelican

Did something happen to I2c ?
Lcdproc is not working any more.
HD44780: I2C: connecting to device ‘/dev/i2c-2’ slave 0x3F failed:
Aug 13 19:53:01 CoreELEC LCDd[7760]: Driver [hd44780] init failed, return code -1

After
CoreELEC:~ # ls /dev/i2c*
/dev/i2c-3 /dev/i2c-5 /dev/i2c-6 /dev/i2c-7

I see no i2c-2.
Ok, so I’ve scanned all of the devices, and on i2c-3 I’ve found on address 0x51 something
CoreELEC:~ # ls /dev/i2c*
/dev/i2c-3 /dev/i2c-5 /dev/i2c-6 /dev/i2c-7

CoreELEC:~ # i2cdetect -y 3

But LCDProc does not seem to work:

Aug 13 20:01:09 CoreELEC LCDd[9060]: Could not load driver hd44780

Any ideas why the i2c-2 has vanished ?

Oh :slight_smile:

Hello everybody,
You know there is an issue with USB tv tuners as well.
Over here:
https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=181&t=35031&p=265665#p265665
It seems that they’ve managed to fix the problem, and it is also confirmed by odroid.
Would it be possible to integrate the 5.3 kernel into Coreelec ?

I could perform the tests with my tv tuners.

5.3 kernel is not ready for playing media.

Oh, I see :frowning:

odroid are saying the fixes for the usb issues are not related to kernel 5.x, so i dont think a kernel upgrade is necessary, right?
https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=181&t=35031&p=265665#p265754

I’ve tried all fixes listed there but I could see no improvement.

No need, I figured out the issue. I had my AVR on Neural:X while testing ATMOS w/N2 and it was showing TrueHD being received & processed. When I switch to ‘Straight’, I get ATMOS just fine w/N2. It’s funny as when in Neural:X mode on my Yamaha A3050 AVR, with nVidia Shield and Zidoo Z9S, it shows ATMOS being processed. So, the behavior is a bit different with N2. But, I always switch to ‘Straight’ anyway when watching ATMOS and DTS;X full movies (vs. test files).

With the daily build from yesterday I2C-2 is back and the VFD works again.
Thank you team!

4k not visible in my config: I have a config Odroid N2 - Yamaha AVR (RX-A1030 4k compatible) - LG UH7707 4k TV. I have whitelisted all 4k modes in Kodi settings announced by the TV, but 4k does not go trough, the TV looses signal while playing (all other lower res. works perfectly). In case i connect Odroid directly to TV, everything goes OK in 4k. Anybody can assume, my AVR is not compatible.
BUT: i have a Beelink Ultimate GT1 (S912) as well, and with that, the same signal chain works perfectly. (HDR doesn go through, as the AVR is not compatible, but 4k@60 is working). This means something differs with HDMI signaling.
Unfortunately i have to interconnect my AVR, otherwise i can not decode DTS-MA/TrueHD sound. I have tested the issue with 9.0.3 stable, and with recent nightly builds. Any idea what to tweak?

Update to latest nightly and limit colour depth and/or subsampling in Settings/System/CoreELEC

Thanks a lot. Subsampling limit to 4:2:2 setting has helped.

i tried a nightly today on a Philips 1080p Panel
colors seems to washed out and the brightness of the picture changes

tried to 8bit and 4.2.2
on on
off off
on off
off on
off off

and rebooted every time
any chance to get a 4 k running?

greetings

You can’t get HDR on a non-HDR display.
You can try enabling the HDR to SDR toggle. It should improve things, but it won’t make it look great.
Leave the 8-bit and 422 toggles on off, unless you need it to get a signal (unlikely).

ok, conclusion , there is no way to get a 4k picture on a 1080p TV like a 1080p picture on a 720p screen?
