    ok, i get rtx 3050 used, and DV & HDR work fine!

    i have issue with HLG when try Channel via PVR addon

    when playing TV channels: the screen turns green, and sometimes the system restarts when a channel is launched. The problem goes away when I disable "Use HEVC VAAPI"

    but I need to keep it enabled for other types of video content; furthermore, without it, Dolby Vision cannot be played.

    I will check, thanks for the log, for HLG it use the native Kodi playback and behavior, do you have the same issue with the latest x86 build?

    Noticed an AMD R2544 for $184 (use coupon DP2R). Never heard of this chip, but appears a little more powerful than the 3200U you mentioned you had received to use for development.

    While it isn't 2024 or early 2025 with great PC deals we used to see, some do pop-up on slickdeals or similar.

    Yes overall it's a 3200U made by GlobalFoundries, this is why I focus the 3200U, the R2544 is CPU easy to find, and since it isn’t made by TSMC, it should remain reasonably priced.
    Optimizing the 3200U is much more complicated than expected. I managed to get the FEL at 30fps and DV playback at 60fps in Master Reference, but it was clearly not a simple task.
    The next build will include a massive upgrade for AMD, DV to HDR10+ and a complete rebuild of the repo to meet GPLv2 or later licencing requirement. I planned to drop the next release mid week, it will be the RC1

    (First time poster, long time lurker)

    Just chiming in to say that DV performance on my fanless, passively cooled 5700u based system is excellent in fast rendering mode, full FEL works perfectly, and it is also mostly good in slow reference mode if there is no ui on screen.

    Thank you, I’ll continue testing. I think that although the standards allow both color representation options, for some reason all players output ITP in an RGB 8‑bit tunnel. This may be due to the need or desire to send the same ITP Full range signal to the TV so that the TV perceives it identically. Since both DV P7 with Ycbcr and DV P5 with ITP are presented in the same ITP Full range in the tunnel.

    Any further testing results? Is this good to go? :)

    Hi everyone, first post!

    Anyone is using a dual boot solution? My problem is, I already have a relatively powerfull Windows HTPC NAS with a i3 12100 (that I could update to anything from there to top of the 14th) with 16 GB RAM, that I bought in the good times where hardware had reasonable prices :D

    I've all the tools there and I find a bit silly to buy another PC with lower specs when I can have it in the same machine.

    I already tried and it boots using bcedit, but I still need to fix how to keep bluetooth remote paired in both systems, and still not sure about need to switch from one to another.

    I'm looking forward for similar experiences.

    PD: I also own a VeroV, for me, at this moment, is something more like a backup, the huge diference I would say is the speed of the UI vs OSMC due limitations of amlogic SoC, and maybe how the HDMI chain is handled sometimes.

    Seemed vague, but there are two different dev builds for these features.

    For Intel based mini pcs,

    Is 3D over HDMI working well at this point?

    I have a Pi5 and have been using popcorns 3d builds there. I see a lot of talk of AMD 3D over hdmi but not so much for intel.

    Is intel just supported and well developed for 3d support, or is it non-functional.

    I currently have a 10th gen nuc would like to experiment with.

    You can use CroqueMr's latest build in post #1 for DV and 3D. It includes popcornmix and cinemaONE's 3D work. 3D is working great, including Intel. I've been using it on a GMKtek G3 Plus N150 mini-PC. cinemaONE mentioned:

    One catch on mini PCs: the HDMI port must be native. A port driven by a DP-to-HDMI converter chip shows up as DP-x instead of HDMI-A-x in /sys/class/drm and gets no 3D.

    Same goes for hadesdevls' latest build here. I have not tested 3D extensively with it yet.

    Thanks, picked this 10th gen i7 gem up with get this 64GB memory, wireless kb, ( red dragon) monitor , crappy aoc 15.6 inch or something, and an 500GB inland marine ( I think that Microcenter branded) NVME 2280 NVME drive for ....wait for the number. 95.00 Came with Mint preinstalled. Came out of a dental office , Doesn't have the innards for win 11 i guess natively. So would have to use trix to get it on there. No good for remote support. But hey for $100 dollars no complaints here. We laughed that the ram was probably worth twice that alone, He said he just needed to clear some stuff out. I saved that seller on marketplace. He let me connect it an inverter in the parking lot of a bojangles to test, so i brought my ego invertor and a battery along for the pickup. I think 11th gen was when the GPU started getting better in the nucs, but again $100.

    Hello, I am a bit of a complete novice when talking/dealing with video standards. I have a chromebook with coreboot that has an HDMI 1.4 port, my understanding is that to get 4k60 I need to set chroma to 4:2:0 to be within the bandwidth. Is this possible to get working within either DV build of LE? I am not sure I should care to get 60Hz, as I will only be watching movies that are either 24p or 29.97, but my understanding is some TVs might care. The chromebook is a HP Fortis 14 G11, N200, 16GB RAM.

    Testing with the Geekom Air 12 Mini PC (Intel N150) and version R1.0.0 Beta5 by CroqueMr

    In general, everything is working very well so far.

    I have encountered one issue when playing 4K videos with Dolby Vision (DV).
    If I try to enlarge the image—for instance, to minimize the black bars at the top and bottom of the video—it doesn't work. Adjusting the "zoom amount" has no effect whatsoever. Is it possible to fix this?
    For 4K videos without Dolby Vision, the "zoom amount" feature works perfectly; the issue only occurs when the video contains Dolby Vision.

    Note:
    This works without any problems in CoreELEC-22, where the "zoom amount" function always works as expected.

    CroqueMr , thanks for your great work! :thumbup:

    I will check but I think it will be very complicated to have this feature, this requires an upscale and it destroys performance when playing DV on the current engine.
