Odroid N2 test builds

Up and running on my new N2, thanks for the all the effort here! One quick question:

For all the media I play, the “pixel format” line in the media info overlay always says “unknown”. Is this a known limitation?

Also, is there anyway to determine the A/V sync during playback? I noticed this was part of the CoreElec overlay display for amlogic s912 devices. If possible, it would be nice to add that here as well.

These are minor nits to an otherwise excellent experience, thank you!

How is this limit you in anything?

“Limitation” is maybe too strong a word. :slight_smile: I’m a curious type and am always trying to tune and understand my setup based on what is playing. In a perfect world, I’d love to know the color space (ie bt2020/hdr10), pixel format (4:2:2), and MaxCLL and MaxFALL when available, as it provides additional insight when debugging why something doesn’t look “quite right”. I know there are other ways to get this info, but the overlay is super convenient.

Note, I did not mean to knock the current implementation at all, sorry if I offended.

Any thoughts why coreelec freezes when browsing in Aeon MQ8 and Nox?

I’m running Aeon Nox SILVO flawless on my N2

Hi,
Maybe you can help me pinpoint a persistent weird error I’m having.
After the crash of 0819 (i think that was the date), i reinstalled normally. Also just updated, but i’m noticing i can’t install addons. I debugged a bit and i’m puzzled. On the log, i see stuff like this:

2019-08-31 22:25:16.468 T:4060090384 DEBUG: CAddonInstaller: installing ‘script.module.kodi65’ version ‘1.2.1’ from repository ‘repository.xbmc.org

When you see this, is not hard to deduct some path or resolving issue. The thing is, that the same link i d/l via wget, and it gets downloaded

So, i don’t know why kodi itself would have been trouble resolving some path that does exists.
Have me quite puzzled, to be honest. Any ideas?

Please try in Aeon Nox Silver “Shift” to browse the movies. Ist it still stable? It works only if I turn off the live images.

Hello, I still have display bugs, a kind of screen that breaks when the OSD appears sometimes. (Khadas V3 Display @4K)

Yes it works as it should be

There’s already a thread about this VIM3 2160p GUI issue + this is the Odroid N2 thread :frowning:

Oh yes, sorry! It’s a habit to have been on N2 … thank you

Perhaps I have to reinstall everything.

I have reinstalled coreelec and Aeon Silver Nox. Everything works fine except animated backgrounds. If you turn this on browsing in the movie section is freezing.

It could be that the mirror you was using did not have the file available.

mirrors.kodi.tv uses many different mirrors, you can download the file and install it manually I guess.

Hello guys,
I seems that the USB issues with DVB tuners can be solved with a kernel patch.

Would it be possible to port it over to Coreelec as well ?

@tobetter already pushed it into our repo, so you will be able to check it with the next nightly build.

that’s great news!
Thank you @tobetter!

You’re welcome, hope you can test your ODROID-N2 when you back and please share how it goes. Looks like USB 3.0 issues is resolved or improved but TV tuner issue would be a bit more researched from users if a certain stick still might not work. So…I am waiting for you.

N2 with TvH Server & Client plus PS3 Dual Tuner

Just updated my N2 from 9.0.3 to nightly 20190905.

FTA TV will not work for more then a few minutes before it freezes. So I installed 9.0.3 and restored from a recent backup. Still the same issue, FTA TV will freeze after a couple of minutes. Get a message on the screen saying TvH client cannot fine the Server.

Here’s the debug log.

Any ideas anyone.

Is the USB 3.0 issue for HDD/SSD resolved for CoreELEC though?, from my understanding CoreELEC would need to switch to kernel 5.x in order to be able to include the fix for USB HDD right?.

Most people who run TV tuners also may use external enclosures to store recorded Live TV, so although that is really promising have the TV tuners not randomly fail, it does kinda leave the other side of the equation still in a unstable state, any thoughts?.
