installed latest version - USB install on a Minix 9-H running with AVR and 1080 Bravia panel - and must say I'm impressed. All of a sudden refresh rate switching works as advertised and audio passthrough has no problems whatsoever. Kudo's - this might be the best PQ from all my boxes (2017 Bravia with 17.6, Minix "androidTV" with Leia, Mibox nougat beta with 17.6, x86 windows with 17.6)

One thing however - the box does pick up time somewhere - I did put a couple of NTP servers in the settings - but it does not want to accept that I'm NOT in the UK and therefore do not want GMT. Not seen any timezone settings. Yes, localisation allows to select Australia but that in itself cannot accurately identify the correct timezone...

I'm sure it's a setting somewhere - in Libreelec - but where???

thnx

Are you saying that bitstream out is now perfect with the U9-H?

I was having problems where it would sometimes work and sometimes just digital noise.

PCM works fine though but once I upgrade to a Atmos or DTS-X processor i will need the bitstream out to work correctly.

That is the only problem with the U9-H. Every 4K or 1080P file that I've tried has played perfectly including HDR files.

Success!

With the device tree from wrxtasy - dtb.img - the U9 boots into LE without any problems - directly from SD card!!

Is this the image that you used rito on your SD card?

this image: LibreELEC-S912.arm-8.2-8.2.1.1.img.gz

I just tried a Wetek Play 2 with the latest version and it did the exactly the same thing...

I also changed the cable to a certified HDMI 2.0 cable at the same time.

My HTPC runs perfectly fine but it is limited to 1080p.

What else should I check???

Running LibreELEC on my new U9-H off of a USB key as the micro SD card read does not work currently.

Video wise it is perfect and it has played every 1080P and 4K file that I have tried.

The problem is with bitstreaming. Sometimes it works and sometimes all I get is loud digital noise through the speakers. If I stop and start the exact same file it works and sometimes the same digital noise. Doesn’t matter if it is 1080 or 4K. Dolby Atmos or DTS-X. I need the bitstream output to my pre/processor for the height surround channels.

Has anyone else experienced the same problem?

I may have to return the unit as it is a dealbreaker in my system if bitstreaming doesn’t work...

Install libreELEC on a usb flash drive and use internal for data

Will that be just as fast as flashing to internal?

I have tried everything that InNursery has done too and I am having the exact same problems.

Should I just install LibreElec to internal memory or will that have the same problems too?
