I dont get the issue with the scaling. I will try whitelisting, however wont this essentially force 4k thru to 1080p (if this is my default resolution?).
@Ray Yes, Sundtek SkyTV Ultimate 8. It is connected via the USB2.0 prolongation cable. There are two issues. One is that it disconnects from USB giving me:
[33102.540949@1] usb 1-1.3: usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd mediasrv rqt 64 rq 187 len 1 ret -110
This is more likely to happen when the external power adapter is not plugged. I don’t know if there is a general problem or the usb dvb-s2 is drawing too much current. I have to check for the current once I will receive the USB3.0 prolongation cable since it should allow to draw more current.
The second issue I sent to @boot2k3 is the error of the mediasrv. This is hard to reproduce. I can tell you that it happens randomly but once every evening. I will let it run over night, I guess it will happen after sometime. I will let you know.
Concerning the Micro-USB, I will check if I have such an adapter at home. Otherwise I would have to order one.
Comes up as 4K 3840 for me.
I’ll post a test build a bit latter tonight(Just started compiling) to help sort out some of the hdmi problems some of you have been having. I’ll also include some IR remote improvements in the same build as well that should help anybody that’s feels like their IR remote is a little slow.

Thanks so much! Will this show up on the nightly builds? If so, I will update when available and report back.
Have not been able to fault it when using the micro usb port. Also seems a lot quicker to switch from the EPG once you select a channel.
Guess, your on the right track about the USB port.
Anything else I can do to help, please ask.

IR is fine here now until I watch or record DVB. Recording slows it down, watching live TV makes it almost completely unresponsive.
IR then stays slow until I reboot.
Definite improvement on previous builds though!!!
Official HK remote, PCTV Triplestick 292e and Crazycat.
So here is the test build I mentioned earlier.
https://test.coreelec.org/cdu13a/CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.0-devel-1556767182.tar
It should help some people with hdmi 1.4 devices not end up with a black screen/no signal situation when watching 4k content.
It also has a modification to the IR remote driver to improve using an IR remote for some people.
Note: I don’t use DVB so I have no idea if this changes anything for anyone using the DVB drivers.

Can you post
cat /proc/interrupts
When the IR becomes laggy. I think we should move interrupts around.
My box tries to update to CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.0-nightly_20190501 so desperately that it does it over and over again. Even though this version is installed already.
It is booting to 0501 and then downloads the update again. Maybe this is a case for @relkai?
We are working on a problem with auto updates for nightlies currently.
I adjusted the script some minutes ago, so hopefully it should stop updating to the same version over and over again.

I know. Do you imply it is a driver error of Sundtek?
I’m not sure. For now I can see that it is triggered by mediasrv. There is probably a bug in the kernel.
This is using cdu13a’s test build from earlier today…
Watching DVB (very unresponsive) - http://ix.io/1HOJ
After watching DVB (still pretty slow) - http://ix.io/1HOK
After reboot (very good, almost perfect) - http://ix.io/1HOO
@Daaave put this in your autostart.sh and tell me if it’s better:
echo 4 > /proc/irq/22/smp_affinity
echo 2 > /proc/irq/70/smp_affinity
after reboot
@djnice and any other that had issues with deinterlace and needed bypass_all:
Please try
https://test.coreelec.org/ray/CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.0-devel-1556799571.tar
Tell me 1.) chroma upsampling issues? 2.) Content looks deinterlaced? 3.) Any slowdowns or frame skips that were introduced now.
Remove any bypass from autostart.sh etc.

Thanks for spending time on this Ray.
Watching DVB-T (SD) - Much better, almost usable
Watching DVB-T2 (HD) - Still very unresponsive - here’s the paste - http://ix.io/1HPl
After watching DVB - Still pretty slow but usable
After reboot, before watching DVB - Still almost perfect.
