  • Dolby Vision w/FEL + 3D for PC (AMD/Intel/nVidia)

    chewitt & Vertox

    The ability to zoom in on any video has been a feature in Kodi for quite some time; that’s nothing new.
    What is new—at least for me—is that this zoom function no longer works with videos that use Dolby Vision. For all other videos (those without Dolby Vision), zooming continues to work without any issues. ;)

    And as I mentioned before, zooming in on Dolby Vision videos is possible in CE-22, which is why I’m hopeful that it might also be possible here in LE.

    BTW:
    And let’s not forget, amidst all the discussion about subtitle or GUI issues when zooming:
    "You don’t *have* to zoom—but if you’d like to, the option is there." :)

  • Dolby Vision w/FEL + 3D for PC (AMD/Intel/nVidia)

    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:

  • Remote power trouble

    Quote from bumerc

    At the moment, you still use the bootloader installed by the manufacturer of your device into the internal flash. When starting from a sd card or usb, this bootloader reads aml_autoscript from the first partition (mounted as /flash) and executes it. Having received the necessary data to start the kernel + dtb, the loader starts the LE kernel and passes control to it. The kernel in turn launches the LE system.

    I've seen You have updated the install description at Your Post #109.

    So I have last questions:

    1. Is pt. 2 necessary for users that only use to boot LE from SD-card?
    2. Shall I the downloaded file "u-boot_h96pro+_fixed_power_on.zip" directly unzipped copy to the root ( /flash ) on SD-card?
      Or have I to unzipped the file and only copy the "u-boot.bin.sd.bin" to root?

  • Remote power trouble

    That sounds great!

    If I understand your installation instruction correct, than will this work only for users that boot LE from internal.

    But was is with users that boot LE from SD-card?

    Could You get please also a installation instruction to install the "uboot.bin.sd.bin"?

  • [8.2.2.3] LibreELEC 8.2 for S912

    Quote from MacUsers

    Then I upgraded to LibreELEC-S912.arm-8.2-Chroma-422.img.gz (by wrxtasy) for better 4k 10-bit payback, which giving me issues with remote control. I did try putting a remote.conf as well, but no joy. Are you saying that remote cannot be fixed with that version?

    All these test builds from wrxtasy are not lirc compatible, that means all the IR - remote control doesn't work.

    See here!

    You have to use a wifi keyboard or wifi remote control!

  • [8.2.2.3] LibreELEC 8.2 for S912

    I have tested this new version, but I don't get audio!

    In Settings -> System Settings -> Audio the "Audio output device" is fixed to "Default, Bluetooth Audio (PULSAUDIO)" and this is not changeable!

    How can I set an other Audio output device, e.g. ALSA PCM?

  • [8.2.2.3] LibreELEC 8.2 for S912

    Quote from bubblegum57

    the earlier versions, used a different way for the remote.


    Create remote.conf from scratch

    remote.conf repository


    you basically create a remote.conf & put it in the config folder

    Yes, that is also a way to use my Universal remote control with LE-8.2.2.3

    So I have to create a new "remote.conf" for LE-8.2.2.3 and can't use my "keytable" from LE-8.90.5.

    If there is no other solution I will do that at weekend! :)

  • [8.2.2.3] LibreELEC 8.2 for S912

    I use LE-8.2.2.3 with my Alphawise H96pro+ (S912) and for me works all things fine.

    I have tested the new LE-8.90.5 but without success to play videos or LiveTV with 3840/50p. And so I use these "older" LE-8.2.2.3 version.

    With the LE-8.90.5 I have to use "ir-keytable" for my remote control and this is really great, because I can use my Universal Remot control after create a "keytable". And this works perfect!

    And for this reason I would like the same with LE-8.2.2.3, so I can use my Universal remote control in place of the original remote control, but it doesn't work. What have I made:

    • In the Libreelec-addon I have deactivatet "lirc"
    • I put my, under LE-8.90.5 created, "rc_maps.cfg" to .storage/config and also my createtd "keytable" to .storage/config/rc_maps

    After a reboot I found out that my Universal remote control doesn't work.

    • If I logged in the console and put in "ir-keytable" I get only an error message: "/sys/class/rc/: No such file or directory"

    And so I have a question: Is there a possibility to use ir-keytable with LE-8.2.2.3 or can I only use "lircd" with this LE version?

    If YES, can you say what I have to do.
