ODROID-N2Plus SBC announced

It’s currently a release candidate until Tuesday but for anybody wanting the closest thing to the next stable build before then.

Hi, new here but not to Kodi (Team Member) or Libreelec (forum moderator) (don’t shoot me).

Glad I read this thread before starting up my newly arrived N2plus.

Can someone clarify for me what the usbpower setting actually did?

Welcome to CE @nickrout.
There is no reason to shoot you…LE and Kodi users/members are absolutely welcome here. :slight_smile:

The usbpower setting is used to keep the USB ports powered (5V) to enable features like wake-on-usb.

Cheers, thought there might be some baddish blood with LE, never mind. Glad that is not so.

I’ve just tried installtoemmc on my N2+ and I get the following error.

This script is only for Odroid N2. It won’t work on other devices!

I’m using the latest 9.2.3.95.

Thank you, the N2+ is missing, will be fixed for next release.

Will this be the 9.2.4 final release or would I need a nightly?

Hi, just got my N2+ and noticed that HEVC files are extremely slow to start when using the resume function. Using the HEVC workaround doesn’t make any difference.

What’s the “resume” function?

When starting a movie i have partly watched (from usb stick in my case), I select ”Resume from 1:22:04”.

Strange, never noticed that as a problem for me.

What is the source for the files? Mine play from an unraid server so sometimes you have to wait for the disk on the server to spin up first.

Source is a bluray remux (~60 gb), played from a Patriot USB stick in the N2+, so speed shouldn’t be an issue.

Usb can be tricky. We have seen usb issues on other USB2.0 devices. And 60G is a huge file. Try connecting it to the OTG port.

Alright, I’ll get an adapter to plug the stick in there and try it out, thanks! Probably should add that it is a USB3 device, and the file is HDR.

Or try network (Gigabit).

Many thanks for the help. It turns out that the file that I was trying to play was corrupted or otherwise faulty. Just poor luck that it was the first one I tried. Now tested with a ~80gb, 4k 60p HDR file and had no problems!

Looking for a bit of guidance. Have a new N2+ that worked flawlessly for about a week (running CoreELEC-Amlogic-ng.arm-9.2.4.1). This morning I started having issues. Firstly the CEC stopped working. Restarting TV (LG CX) or the Odroid unit does not fix issue. Put a fresh install of CE did not fix issue, new microSD did not fix either. Tried different hdmi cable, did not fix issue.

Now, after each restart of either the board, there is about a 50% chance that Kodi runs very slow, including video playback which is unwatchable. Disconnecting and reconnecting the HDMI on the Odroid side fixes the issue without the need to reset, though no CEC again.

Have tested my old C2 and it works perfectly, CEC working as it should.

Any ideas?

CEC has a serious problem currently.
A fix is ready and will be available in the upcoming 9.2.4.2 version which will be released shortly. Until then the slowdown is only fixed by deactivating CEC in Kodi.

Ok great, thought I was going crazy. Hopefully that will fix it.

Just wanted to follow up and say 9.2.4.2 did not fix issue for me. Still no CEC on the N2+, C2 works fine though.
