Could it be that this is an unstable Alpha built?

Set colour space in video settings and reboot

Latest version uses kszaq kernel from 8.90.4

GDPR-2:

can you please add "420,10bit" and "420,8bit" to available colour space options in video settings

in your next devel build for testing?

And maybe an auto change when playing UHD 420,10bit 59/60hz.

I´m testing this devel Version LibreELEC-S905.arm-9.0-devel-1522739536.img.gz

installed on my Mecool K1pro

first had to change color space (green screen) using rgb 8 bit now

Amazon addon working sd Quality films and HD Quality series - had to reduce to 720p otherwise series stuttering

live tv with dvbviewer client ok - takes some seconds until picture is seen but then lipsync ok with AC3 passtrough enabled

no more slomo vogon lyric voices after zapping so far

sometimes restart problems - hangs on Mecool logo until power plug is removed

TVheadend : with standard drivers nothing to configure because no hardware adapter seen

enabled crazycat drivers, after this the internal Availink avl6862 adapter is recognized

I have been testing the latest (*39536) dev build.

System is m8s mini (s905).

I am noticing black screen and/or freezes of the video while audio continues with LiveTV.

I reproduced as follows:

-Installed latest devel

-Minimal settings (region,..)

-Installed tvmozaic/dvblink addon

- Turn on Debug Logging (comp: A/V/Timing)

-Start Channel (HD). AV fine

- Next Channel (HD) AV fine

- Next Channel (HD) AVFine

- Next Channel (SD) Image freezes, sound continues (about 8 secs before catching up)

-Next Channel (SD) Fine

-Next Channel (SD) Image freezes, sound continues

- Next Channel (SD) Image freezes, sound continues

- Next Channel (SD) Image freezes, sound continues

- Stop

Log attached.

Gaudi and Everyone, please read the rules in the opening posts of this thread before posting issues!

Filling the thread with issues when there are several builds out there makes debugging very difficult for the devs, when trying to sift through this thread and understand whether an issue is relevant or not.

I agree and am sorry. I thought the issue was already identified. Will report following instructions and avoid the "troll" behaviour.

Am very sorry about it.

testing the latest devel version on s905x box. overall its ok. thumbs up!

but it seems, it can't play high bitrate files like below. picture just freezes. the same file works on 8.90.3 coming from the same source. i will try and test more.

@adamg

If an issue occurs, when do I grab the log file to provide (and are you just after kodi.log) ?

In other words, is the log file more informative taken at the time of issue (if possible) or at reboot?

Noticed a peculiarity but so far only once - not sure if it was a one-off glitch (after watching steaming content and pressing stop, kodi didn't seem to be able to recover the GUI)

EDIT:

I think it might've just been a bit of a glitch with the addon. Probably not worth looking at unless it happens again

GDPR-2, wrxtasy fixed the gui tearing for S912 devices for subtitle stuttering here.

Is it possible to add this to your next testbuild?

Thanks!

GDPR-2 I have to say the 4/3/18 devel build is solid. A lot of the IPTV and HLS stream stuttering and a/v syncing issues are gone. Even some of the 1080p streams with inputstream have improved. Same goes with passthrough issues as well. I've been testing on my Tronsmart S95 Meta for about six months and it finally seems happy. Great work and thanks!

I could but wrxtasy does not publish his changes online so without knowing what changes he has made it makes it kind of difficult.

i don't think many code changes where done, just need to disable dirty regions is what i'm getting from wrxtasy's post

Quote from wrxtasy

Very likely.

The Key is rendering the entire Kodi GUI viewport in one pass on the S912 by setting <algorithmdirtyregions>0</algorithmdirtyregions>

Effectively turning OFF - Kodi's Dirty Regions functionality.

SoC temps increase a wee bit, but I would rather have a smoother, snappier GUI and smooth video playback with Subtitles.

He disabled dirty regions ( <algorithmdirtyregions>0</algorithmdirtyregions> ) and set GPU clock to 792MHz.

Yes and this too.

GDPR-2 i think it's already there.

I've tried this on my Minix U1 connected to Onkyo receiver and 4K tv. All seems to work fine so far!
