posixx · Video scaling issue after wakeup (9.0.1) posixx February 28, 2019 at 4:52 PM

Hello,

I'm using generic libreelec build on asrock HW. When i shutdown my system the HTPC is put into sleep mode. When i want to watch TV, the HTPC wakes up from sleep. When i start the Live TV menu or watch a channel, the display shows black bars on each sie of the picture, about 4cm wide on a 77inch screen. I need to restart the HTPC for this to restore to correct display.

posixx · LG OLED C8: missing screen refresh rate? posixx June 5, 2018 at 5:20 PM

Hello,

I was very busy the pas month so no time to test it out. Today a firmware upgrade of my Meridian swithing device was available. After that the same issue. But using the latest community build (LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2.5-3.42.2-4.14.44.img.gz) now 3840x2160 at 50Hz and 60Hz are available!

Great work sky42! Hopefully this will make it soon into the release builds.

After conversation with Meridian support i ordered AudioQuest HDMI cables as these are guaranteed by meridian to deliver the required bandwith (18,2 Gbps). But, when testing i get exactly the same results. This looks like a Meridian UHD722 problem to me. It simply does not report all supported resolutions and refresh rates to the source.

One step further; i downloaded ubuntu dekstop and booted from that on USB. same output from xrandr. I removed my meridian UHD722 HDMI switcher from the chain and now i get 3840x2160 at 60Hz! So it looks like handshaking between meridian and LG is not accurate. I run Supra HDMI cabling which should have enough bandwith etc but to be sure i have ordere RU Connected HDMI cabling 10m optical and 2x 1m all support 4K @60Hz HDR / 4:4:4.

Keep you posted

Ok, i made a WinToUSB flash disk and booted windows 10 pro. After installing some drivers like videocard i was able to read and update the LSPCon firmware; the current firmware version was 1.61, i upgraded to 1.66.

Within windows i was able to set 3840x2160 with 50Hz refresh rate without any problems; it even has 60Hz available.

Rebooting and removing the flash drive booted again into libreelec still highest refresh rate available at 3840x2160 = 30Hz. So it looks like a libreelec related issue. I hope someone can help solving this!

How to check that? I searched the BIOS but couldn't find any FW number. Also i installed Libreelec from scratch and the same result:

Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 32767 x 32767

DP1 disconnected primary (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

DP2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

DP3 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm

1920x1080 60.00 + 120.00 100.00 119.88 50.00* 59.94 30.00 25.00 24.00 29.97 23.98

4096x2160 24.00 23.98

3840x2160 30.00 25.00 24.00 29.97 23.98

1920x1080i 60.00 50.00 59.94

1280x720 60.00 50.00 59.94

1024x768 60.00

800x600 60.32

720x576 50.00

720x480 60.00 59.94

640x480 60.00 59.94

HDMI1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

HDMI2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

So i'm missing the refresh rates above 30Hz on 4K.

Code

WinSystemX11::RefreshWindow - failed to query xrandr

Maybe this prevents correct detection of all supported resolutions?

Hello,

Running ASRock Fatal1ty Z270 Gaming-ITX/ac LGA1151 HDMI 2.0 ITX Motherboard with Intel 7th Gen Core i7 7700T so that shouldn't be any problem looking at the specs:

Hello,

I upgraded my TV from panasonic Plasma (fullHD) to new LG OLED C*. I restarted kodi and see the correct resolution (3840x2160p) but i only have refresh rates of 30 and below. I need to configure 50Hz as that's what livetv is using. Can someone explain how to add this missing refresh rate? I tried to delete guisettings.xml but after reboot 50Hz is still missing.

Regards,

Frans

posixx · Volume problem on resume HT posixx January 30, 2018 at 1:01 PM

Hello,

I use a custom built HTPC(this one Mamba 4K Fanless Media PC) with ASRock Fatal1ty motherboard and i7-7700T CPU, using Intel HD graphics. Every time when i shutdown my system (the HTPC is on all the time, not shutdown) and switched on again, the volume of live TV channels using AC3 are about 5 dB less in volume. Channels using MP2 audio are OK. HTPC is connected to a Meridian HD621 HDMI switcher..

Logs of the HTPC YDANASCLST01 - Synology RackStation

FOr the soundlevel to restore we need to reboot the HTPC. We hope this can be solved in a future release (currently running 8.2.3)

posixx · LiveTV short freezes posixx July 18, 2016 at 7:05 PM

Guys,

Running the latest release, i'm having short freezes (sometimes with displaying channel info automatically) in liveTV channels. I'm streaming to wetek core through an external VDR server. Looking in the dmesg i'm seeing the following output when a freeze happens:

[14706.803387@2] aml_nftl_open ok!
[14706.803581@2] blktrans_ioctl -cmd: 5331,801c0204,64

[14706.874947@0] blktrans_ioctl -cmd: 5331,801c0204,64

Any idea why this happens? No messages on the VDR server related to this problem. I'm running libreelec on a selfbuild HTPC with i5 haswell and this setup doesn't have the problem so it looks related to the wetek build.

Regards,

Frans

posixx · /storage/.config/remote.conf not working posixx July 18, 2016 at 7:00 PM

Guys,

I inserted a FLIRC USB receiver and now i'm able to use my harmony remote. For me the problem is solved, but the fix will help other users wanting to have a custom remote.xml

posixx · /storage/.config/remote.conf not working posixx July 11, 2016 at 10:56 AM

Quote from lrusak

it looks like /storage/.config/remote.conf should be parsed first but it isn't

I'll have to put a fix in.

Hello Irusak,

Great, is there some test version available i can try? Let me know if i can help.

posixx · /storage/.config/remote.conf not working posixx July 9, 2016 at 7:28 PM

Guys,

I'm trying to map a NEC compatible remote to my Wetek Core. I copied a config to the mentioned path but after reboot it's not picked up. Can someone comment on this or help me getting this file recognised?

If i look to this code: LibreELEC.tv/remote-config at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub it looks like it will always use the standard remote.conf in the /etc/amremote directory so this could explain why it isn't working.

Manually running /usr/bin/remotecfg /storage/.config/remote.conf also doesn't help

I hope someone can help with this!

posixx · JSON-RPC not listening on ipv4 address posixx June 27, 2016 at 4:46 PM

Hello,

I'm trying to get THE remote for Kodi connected to my LibreELEC 7.0.2 install. The remote application says JSON-RPC is not available. When running netstat -an on the LibreELEC PC i see the service is listening on port 9090 only on the ipv6 loopback address:

So that explains why it doesn not work, but i'm unable to get it to listen on the ipv4 addresses. I disabled ipv6 in LibreELEC settings, tried 6to4 etc but nothing works.

Hopefully someone can help!

Regards.
