Only workaround I know of is add 480 to your whitelist and leave TV scale.

328

I have yet to see a sample with the cartoon effect. The color bleeding is in 3.14 too for some HEVC videos and it is minor to notice.

329

Which is the proper way anyway. I can confirm that when you blacklist 480p the same half screen issue happens.
I will look into this half screen issue. But everyone agrees that the so called cartoon effect is gone with this sysfs change?

330

Here is the sample I used. Focus on greengage on beach and behind it in HW vs SW.

Video is too short. Can’t even push pause fast enough.

First thing i noticed when i played first Movie/TV File.
I only have 1080p/i TV
I’ve not had enough time to test further but one Legal Sports Subscription Add-On has no audio. See Screenshot. It may be the 32,000 Hz . I played another with 48,000 Hz earlier today and audio was fine.

I fixed it:

super_scaler needs to be off.

Thanks @supersnail for the hints.

Here is a build with the fix

335

Tried it and all (cartoons and Avatar) looks good here. Thnks!

336

Thanks for confirming! This is awesome we found the reason. Thanks again for the sr0_sr1_refresh, it was a big hint.

337

Cheers @Ray All good on 1080 TV as well.

338

How did you know which parameter you should change?
Or just poke around?

This includes IR working with dvb addons (thanks to @afl1)

340

Don’t know if you already fixed this so I investigated it.
In oe.py line 75 the “encoding” var is filled using locale.getpreferredencoding(do_setlocale=True) but there is no LANG environment variable set in CoreELEC.
Could this be the problem ?

341

What is the problem besides that log spam? Looks like some language issue although we disabled other languages besides english in the settings addon.

342

Install Locale addon and variable will be set.

It’s maybe just log spam. Seems that the update went fine.

344

Thank you @vpeter

Hi, the “cartoon” effect is certainly better, I will need to check some more sources vs other players etc to be sure, but things are certainly more crisp now using the latest up. Just got home so I’ll do some more testing and picture taking later, thanks everyone for your work and input.

It’s best to have some samples. I could not see any cartoon effect yet. Hard to fix something you can’t see/test.
