Odroid N2 test builds

It’s always best to try the stable release first, before trying the nightly or other test builds. Since while the nightly and test builds may contain fixes for an issue that might be in a stable release, there is a bigger chance that there are bugs in the nightly and test builds that are not in the stable build.

Thanks cdu13a. Will do.

Hi,

HDMI CEC has stopped working for me in the latest builds. Is it only me or someone else is having this problem? I’d rather not do a fresh install…

Disable and enable CEC in System -> Input: Peripherals -> CEC to see if that fixes the issue. If not, try to change some of the settings. Are someone else having the same issue?

Yes, had already done that, sorry.

I have an LG C8 oled, I guess someone else has it too. It does not seem to be the TV’s fault as CEC still works with the AVR

CEC works here through my AVR on an LG tv.

I’m still having issues with my PS3 BD Remote not always being able to reconnect after I wake the N2 from suspend. The BT dongle I use has the CSR8510 chip, which the “official” one also has as far as I know.

When the problem occurs, the only way to make the remote work is to remove it from the list of devices and pair it again.

Is there anything that I can do to debug the issue?

what do you mean exactly with CEC does not work with n2 but with your TV/AVR?
Do you mean: the n2 does not wake up but if you reboot it, you can control it?
If so, change the input on your AVR to something else and then back and see if that wakes up the n2 - have the same problem

i also have now this annoying 60 seconds message with the dtb and i found some info that i should do a cat on /proc/device-tree/somefileicantremember - but that file did not exist.

You need to replace the DTB with an updated one due to a refactor we have made about a week ago.
See this post for instructions.

I’m using the stable release so when 9.0.4 comes out will we need to manually update DTB the image then? Do you think you could add a couple lines of text to the 60 second wait screen with the commands to replace the DTB so I don’t have to go looking for the procedure when it happens?

thanks, that worked like a charm!

mount -o rw,remount /flash
cp /usr/share/bootloader/device_trees/g12b_s922x_odroid_n2.dtb /flash/dtb.img
reboot

No, it did not work at all. I had to change input sources on the TV as well to make it recognize it.

Anyway, just did a clean install of the stable build taking the chance to move the library to an external mysql database. Now it works straight away…

Thanks!

Hi,
Is there a developer who knows the subject of audio codecs to enlighten me on this issue?

No LPCM support in 4.9 so this niche format will not work.

Has there been any word from HK regarding the LPCM status?

No because audio platform is completely different, it’s not possible to use the 3.14 code, @afl1 did some work on it but it still doesn’t work.

what is blocking? The hardware or software ?

Auro3D is an object based codec that needs HDMI Passthrough for decoding by an AVR with Auro Decoder. Its possible ffmpeg (used in Kodi) is not recognising this codec. There’s mention of it being flagged as DTS-HDMA on the Kodi forum.

Hello everybody,
I’ve set up the ext4 partition using tune2fs -c 1 to scan it at every boot. It lasts around 5 seconds and you can minimize the likelyhood of getting corrupted data.
However (I suspect) due to this, after recent updates to nightly builds I’m getting a 120s countdown that the filesystem is corrupted and automatic fix will commence.
This is annoying and I would like to remove it. Do you know where is this implemented ?

Thanks,
what would it take for ffmpeg to recognize the Auro3D codec ?
