HansP:

is the following criteria met by OSMC on RPi3:

- play 4k HDR material on FullHD SDR AVR/Beamer with correct colors. (The AVR and Beamer will be replaced with 4k some time in the future)

Are the colors of a 4K-HEVC-HDR-movie displayed correctly on a SDR-only TV?

sorry, it does not work, if GUI is set to 2160p this test version does not switch to 1080p when starting a 3D-movie, it stays in 2160p...

afl1:

attached are the logfiles for the problem.

If you need anything else, please tell me...

Try this test version LibreELEC-S905.arm-9.0-devel-20180119165613-r27922-gae5b693.tar

Netflix works well on MiniMX, I just installed Netflix add-on and make inputstream add-on active, then login and that is all.

I can confirm this, installing the Netflix add-on from GitHub - asciidisco/plugin.video.netflix: Inputstream based Netflix plugin for Kodi (Scroll down to 'Installation & Updates' to reach the download link for the repository) is enough, all dependencies will be installed automatically (with my box, see signature).

Thanks, GDPR-2

pepeq please try the following test release for your 3D issue and report back link

GDPR-2 + afl1 + kszaq:

Heureka,

with your devel-version LibreELEC-S905.arm-9.0-devel-20180106155556-r27864-gac50f89.tar

now 3D-autoswitching works again as in kszaq's version 8.2.x !

Thanks a lot for your research and efforts to fix this!

It's a good feeling to see helpful developers around, good job!

Thank you GDPR-2 for your work and efforts in the last months!

I have always seen you as a competent and willing developer/supporter for LE

Have a good time and perhaps we will read in some forums contributions from GDPR-2!

Quote from adamg

Please try the following build to see if it fixes your 3D issue link

I updated version 8.90.1 with the new devel version LibreELEC-S905.arm-9.0-devel-20180103154127-r27897-geb02a8e.tar

you kindly provided, but unfortuntely the 3D-autoswitch does not work again.

Is there anything I can do? I can provide logfiles tomorrow if necessary (at the moment my wife occupies the TV...)

afl1 and GDPR-2:

I compiled the lastest devel Kodi-Leia version r27869-g66b09e6 with the option

CONFIG_POST_PROCESS_MANAGER_3D_PROCESS=y

3D-handling is set now:

LibreELEC:~ # cat /sys/class/ppmgr/ppmgr_3d_mod@
current 3d mode is 0x0
LibreELEC:~ #

There is no crash, everything is working fine, except 3D-autoswitching does not work.

If a 3D-SBS or 3D-TAB-movie is running current 3d mode remains on 0x0.

As kszaq stated, the option CONFIG_POST_PROCESS_MANAGER_3D_PROCESS is not set in Kodi-Krypton,

LibreELEC:~ # cat /sys/class/ppmgr/ppmgr_3d_mode
cat: can't open '/sys/class/ppmgr/ppmgr_3d_mode': No such file or directory

but 3D-autoswitching is working fine in Kodi 17.6.

Do you know, who is a competent person to handle this in the Leia-code?

Is there an official PR required? How can I do this?

Quote from kszaq

I guess this was broken somewhere during Kodi development as it started to work right after Memphiz's PR was merged to Krypton.

Does this mean it will not be fixed in Leia? How can Memphiz's PR merged to Leia?

Are not all PRs, which are merged in Krypton in Leia also?

Sorry for the dumb questions...

Quote from afl1

This PR need in kernel enable CONFIG_POST_PROCESS_MANAGER_3D_PROCESS. Current settings is not set.

Code

LibreELEC:~ # cat /sys/class/ppmgr/ppmgr_3d_mode
cat: can't open '/sys/class/ppmgr/ppmgr_3d_mode': No such file or directory
LibreELEC:~ # ls -l /sys/class/ppmgr/

After enabling this option:

Code

LibreELEC:~ # cat /sys/class/ppmgr/ppmgr_3d_mod@
current 3d mode is 0x0
LibreELEC:~ #

afl1:

I managed to compile my own LE-version now (based on GDPR-2 's git-version)

But I need one hint: which file does contain the kernel-option CONFIG_POST_PROCESS_MANAGER_3D_PROCESS you described?

I want to set it and recompile again, to see if 3D-autoswitch will work then...

is CONFIG_POST_PROCESS_MANAGER_3D_PROCESS a parameter, which must be set during compilation (-> new release from GDPR-2)

or can I set this in a file on my LE-SD-card (e.g. /flash/boot.ini) to activate?

afl1 and kszaq: thank you very much for your remarks!

GDPR-2: can you please configure this in your next release? how can this option be configured in the Leia master branch permanently? (I don't know, I am not a programmer or developer, only a poor user )

Quote from adamg

Unfortunately I don't have a 3D TV so I can't really help much, I don't even think it's a feature sold on new TV's now, the only thing I can think it may be is that something broke in the newer libamcodec that we are using or the feature is broke in Kodi but without a way to test I can't help sorry.

kszaq mentioned the following:

...

This PR introduced 3D autoswitch in Kodi Leia: Fix 3d mode switching for Wetek HUB on Libreelec by Memphiz · Pull Request #12316 · xbmc/xbmc · GitHub

If it doesn't work, something is broken upstream.

...

Do you know, if this fix is included in your Leia-version?

If not, how can this be achieved?

I think in an official Leia version all fixes from a previous version should be contained...

Quote from Mr.Brown

...

When I play a 4K Hevc HDR file on the U9-H connected to the 1080p TV, the colors appear to be correct (not washed out), however the image is too dark. The gamma level/contrast level is wrong. It results in black crush, the image is darkened too much.

Now I read in a change log from Minix that they fixed this issue with a Firmware update a while ago. I have the latest FW on the U9-H and still have this problem when using on an old 1080p tv.

I wonder if its a LE bug or a Bug in Minix FW still..

I have the same effect on my

Beelink Mini MXIII II (S905X/2 GB) (HDR colors ok, but image to dark and contrast to high, gamma not suitable) with 8.2.2.1 (Kodi17.6) and also with 8.90.0 (Kodi 18.x) from GDPR-2

question to the community:

has anybody a working 3D-autoswitching with 8.90.0?

kszaq:

with your Kodi 17.x/Krypton versions 3D-autoswitching is working since months, great!

Everything works fine for me, except Netflix.

So I tested adamg's Kodi 18/Leia-version. Netflix is working with 720p out-of-the-box after installing the addon,

but unfortunately the 3D-autoswitching does not work as in your versions.

adamg said he cannot test this. Do you have any idea, why 3D-autoswitching does work

in your versions flwlessly but not in Kodi18?

Can you give any hint to adamg?

Nevertheless thanks a lot for your great work!

Quote from adamg

Have you turned 3d auto switching on in settings?

It's not a patch feature, please don't compare Krypton to Leia.

yes, 3d is enabled in Confluence in the same way as with kszaq's 8.2.2.1 and Kodi 17.6.

my movies are recognized as 3D (correct symbol on the list) in Kodi 18, but when playing starts, my TV gets no 3D switching signal, movies are played with split screen (SBS or TAB). same movies, same libraries, same settings work on Kodi 17.6...

GDPR-2:

I do not want to bother you, but can you please explain shortly, why 3D-autoswitch does not work with your 8.90.0 but with kszaq's latest 8.2.2.1? are there some patches missing in your build? I just want to know, I'd there is a chance to see 3D-autoswitching in future releases...

thank you and have a nice day!
