Update on remotes, got one working following advice from above, thanks…

Re-scanned the codes using the above method and received different codes:

Working Mecool: 0xA659FF00 / Previous from Ubuntu: 0x00FF9A65

New Hotack_RC: 0xB24DBF40 / Previous from Ubuntu: 0x0202B24D

Entered the new code for Mecool remote and got it working fine :slight_smile:

Ideally I would like to use the Bluetooth remote but one working for now is cool.

For the Hotack_RC I have tried with 0x01, 0x07 and 0x08 device_types but it just does not respond. Not really sure where to go so random question time haha

Could it be using a different protocol which my old M8S Pro accepted for power and get picked up by ir_keytable/lirc as a random NEC code?

Cheers, E.

Ubuntu uses the irw values which are then converted. I disabled conversion because we use rc core and you can get values with “ir-keytable -u”

557

Thanks Ray - Explains the difference in codes :slight_smile:

Still can’t get the Hotack one working with what should be the right code now so not sure on that one…

Think I’ll get Hyperion-ng set-up and come back to it haha

Did you catch a code with ir-keytable? In uboot if you have a uart NEC codes are printed too. It’s probably wise to get an uart.

The number after devel is a unix timestamp. It’s seconds since Thursday 1st of January 1970 0:00 UTC. This timestamp is the time I built it.

Edit: Convert it here https://www.unixtimestamp.com

I had wake up from suspend with CEC issues and also wanted more options than the tv remote could offer, so I bought the Harmony Companion with Bluetooth Hub, right from the start I had a very hard time connecting N2 with Hub/bluetooth, finally it paired and worked perfect quick and snappy just like a keyboard.

The issue is you really don’t know when it will work or not it can work for 2 days and suddenly after suspend or reboot it will not connect what so ever I have spend hours on this issue and really need help fixing this, @jbrisbin have similar problem here BT Keyboard Fails to connect H96 Pro + CE 9.0.1 [WORKAROUND FOUND]

Please let me know what logs is needed to look in to this, thanks…

EDIT: one of the errors I seen when trying to connect is “Input/Output error”

@Bindou try changing the following setting to off when you have GUI at 4k resolution, it may help improve the feel of the GUI.

Settings>Interface>Skin>Configure skin>General>Use slide animations

Hi,
I just tested the version of April 18th, but the problem of gradation of colors on 10 bits is not corrected for me. :frowning: https://test.coreelec.org/ray/CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.0-devel-1555651433.tar

On the other hand, I do not know if it is me who kidding, but I have the impression that the fast forward is much more reactive. Very good! On the other hand, there are artifacts that sometimes appear when you make a quick advance on Billy Lynn (4K HDR 60 i/s).

How can you tell? Do you have a spectrometer?

566

To the colors.

Top: Beelink GT1 @ S912
Bottom: Odroid N2 @ S922
(See the gradient in the sky. It is present on all the applats, in many films HEVC 4K HDR10 BT.2020)

And that was already on the GT1 @ S912 a few months ago, before the update “Automatic color space / color depth switching”. But maybe it’s something else …?

The picture on N2 looks better, and you need to re-calibrate with test pictures running on N2.
Hue, Saturation and Black level differ on these two boxes.

Edit: I use 3 Amlogic boxes, S905X, S912 and S922. To get best picture I have 3 different calibration settings, one for each.

570

You are assuming S912 is correct. Without a Photometer and a proper calibrated TV and Calibration Video you can’t be sure.

571

This is a known issue. We are looking for the cause.

I guess the S912 is ok because I have the same result on platinum Bluray and internal player of the TV.

I think I can not explain myself well. I’m not talking about colorimetry, I’m talking about the color gradient. Look in the sky, with the N2, we see a banding effect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colour_banding
It is obviously much more obvious in “real”, than in photo.

573

I get that, but only with live hd channels.

OK this is different then What build are you using?
I heard reports of color banding. I need a sample. It’s probably another post processing Bullshit from Amlogic like the sharpening that lead to cartoon effect.

It’s probably because N2 has sharper and more detailed picture, so the gradient can be seen.
