Odroid N2 test builds

You can mention it again otherwise I might forget. I have this mce usb receiver somewhere in the basement. It’s probably an easy fix.

ok cool, no probs, other than IR issues for me the build is fantastic, so im really impressed and love all the effort you guys are putting into this.

Do you know, if this issue will be fixed in the near future? :wink:

I’m not sure. I’ll try to take a look at it, but I don’t have an AVR, so I may not be able to do much about this problem.

@Mister-XY
Onto some better news in the audio passthrough department. Looks like the DD+ issues are finally completely fixed. The next nightly should have the fix for your problem.

So, i tried the command you given me to identify whether my h264 video is interlaced and i get a “permission denied”. Not quite sure why as i can see “dc: ff-264” during playback.

also during playback , using onscreen info via ctrl-shift-o , it says deint: unknown.
This deint: unknown occurs regardless of whether i set deinterlacing to ON or OFF in kodi “video settings” from OSD during playback in kodi. Both of these settings look to me identical in playback ofl ive tv for me.

Any further input on the matter would be awesome. Loving things so far!

I did notice quality get slightly better when i disabled built in noise reduction, so thank you for that.

via:
“echo 0 > /sys/module/di/parameters/nr2_en”

Perhaps a toggle for this could be implemented into corelec in future!

Also wanted to add, Plex for Kodi addon (0.1.7a beta) once exited. May not be able to be re-opened at times. Only way to get back into plex is a manual reboot of the device. This behavior does not occur on my windows 10 machine (krypton), nor my apple tv (krypton).

If you see ff-h264 than you use software decoding.
Check you settings and enable HW decoding for h264 if there were no reason to disable it.
And possible you tried not full command, check again my message

FWIW bypass_post also prevents weird combing artifacts.

Hey guys, you add some extra’s , when you play a movie and push key ‘o’ codec info and so…
Can you add some more? like network speed, download,upload speed?
I dont know if its to hard to do, i am just a CE user and dont know anything linux…
I think it would be useful to know if you make use of vpn’s and can see if your connection is ok…

Something like ntop/ntopng seems interesting. If, it doesn’t take too much resources, of course…

added your IR receiver. Should be in next nightly

iftop from the network tools addon is useful to monitor the network bandwidth.

Would be great if it could be fixed sometime; it worked @ my C2, so my hopes are up :slight_smile:

Awesome! Thank you Ray!

This is my first post about the N2. I’ve kept quiet because I’ve had all on just keeping up with the posts there have been. I’m not sure if the following is a known issue with video, so I’m going to ask.

When watching 1080p (that’s what it says) hardware deinterlaced H264 freeview channels in the UK, I still get the occasional slowdown and catchup on the video. It seems to be triggered by scene changes, so news programmes are worse when there are changes to reports. The snooker from the Crucible is playing flawlessly I’m pleased to say.

I do not get the problem on my s905 Coreelec box.

I’m running the 20190428 nightly and the video is coming from VBox Tv gateway PVR Client.

Turning off H264 acceleration and changing the deinterlace mode to “half” cures the problem and keeps audio in sync.

Is this a known issue or have I missed a tip on how to fix it?

I received the Odroid N2 today -
Flash a samsung evo microsd using this test bulld: CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.0-nightly_20190427-Odroid_N2.img
No problem at all.
Will this version update automatically?
Thank you all.

ive got the exact same problem and have been providing on of the dev’s logs etc.

Stop any playback, log into your box via putty ( windows) or terminal (osx) and run the following command’
echo 1 > /sys/module/di/parameters/bypass_all

Then start playback again.

Thanks Matt. I’ve run the command and will see what the news at 6o’clock looks like.

Good Idea !
