Also to add from my previous tests.
The LPCM 7.1 and 5.1 AAC videos switch to PCM 7.1 on the c2 running CE So the multichannel pcm issue is N2 related.
Also seeing a weird CEC bug.
Sometimes my TV remote just won’t control the N2.
If I go Settings > System > Input > Peripherals > CEC Adapter
Options for *Connected to HDMI device (TV) & *HDMI port number (1) are missing.
If I press defaults to reset, the options come back and CEC starts working again.
@Alex240188 Thanks. We are aware of L-PCM being broken on the N2. It’s an open issue that we will tackle when we can.
Ray and Portisch are the ones who usually deal with CEC issues, hopefully they’ll have an answer for you soon.
Thanks, the pcm isn’t really an issue for me as I’d rather have 4k than surround, I’ll just let the AVR handle virtual surround from the stereo signal over ARC.
Will look at upgrading the AVR at some point in the future to something that can handle 4k.
I didn’t see anything of relevance in the logs about CEC.
As I haven’t been able to reproduce it reliably I aren’t leaving debugging on either which doesn’t really help.
I know, it’s amazing for the device being so new. I’ve tested it a LOT over the past couple of days, all is good (UPnP good, LAN speed is much more stable than my s905, picture quality on all codecs (inc HEVC) is great, DVB flawless (inc HD).
I just have the one issue with the IR remote not working with Crazycat which you already know about.
Also, I was wondering if it will ever be possible to “reboot to SD Card” from within CoreELEC to try out new builds etc, as of course CoreELEC will be permanently living on my eMMC.
This morning I have the CEC issue again.
This time I have been able to enable logging & CEC logging.
So after booting CEC does not work.
Changing inputs back and forth does not work. (This very rarely happened on the c2 and usually switching to another HDMI and back solved it)
At 9:12:41 I decided to switch my TV off and on again.
It magically started working.
Sorry to upload log in txt but it’s too large for pastebin due to CEC logging. CEC.txt (551.6 KB)
@Ray
I’m a bit confused with new test builds placement. On https://test.coreelec.org/ there are several folders: /Odroid_N2, /adam, /arthur and /ray.
Now I see “CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.0-devel-1555152408-Odroid_N2.img.gz” 13th April version in your folder and not in /Odroid_N2 folder.
Is this a mistake, or are these ng versions special for someone to test?
The Odroid Wiki at odroid-n2:software:boot_sequence [ODROID Wiki] says "Since the eMMC has a high priority, CPU will fetch from Micro SD if eMMC does not have the bootloader. " (I knew I’d seen it somewhere).
Interestingly if I have eMMC (CoreELEC) and micro-SD (Ubuntu) both installed it just hangs at the CoreELEC logo. Both work fine without the other being present.
@TheCoolest
I looked into it more and you are right about the Z906 and DD+. However, downmixing seems to not work. All sound is distorted. The only thing that works is stereo (aac 2.0, dts 2.0, etc)
I’ve tested this with sound through the tv only. I have no problems playing the same files with working sound with my S812 LE box.
EDIT: I am not sure what it was. I restarted the N2 a few times and sound is working properly now.
So with both installed as I described neither wants to boot first? As I say it hangs straight away at the CoreELEC logo, steady blue light (no heartbeat)
