  • Latest kodi for mini x uh 9 neo?

    Quote from chewitt

    You need to follow a "backup > clean-install > manual restore" process to update the box. Clean install requires you to trigger recovery boot mode so the box reads new/updated bootscripts from the SD card; then it can find the new upstream device-tree (configured in uEnv.ini) and the boot files. Once Kodi is installed and running you can copy the backup to the box and do a manual restore of the essential bits (databases, thumbs, sources, add-on settings) and then restart Kodi. Then reinstall new Python3 versions of any add-ons you were using and you're done.

    You cannot directly update - it will either refuse the update or if you force it, it will break boot (the box is not bricked, but you need to do the recovery process to get a working system again).

    Or you stick with whatever image is on the box now .. if it all still works, nothing is forcing you to update.

    Thanks for your reply. I am just trying to find out what the possible benefits are for updating? especially concerning HDR presentation of my 4k files.

  • Does dolby vision playback for movies work with Libre Elec on the Minix u9-h?

    We have the same TV and media player. though different libre elec Version i think. Anyways are you saying the MP4 DV files will only work via USB HDD on the TV player and wont work with our mediaplayer? even in 2022?

  • [8.2.4.1] LibreELEC Kodi Krypton - S905 & S912 devices

    Quote from RayW

    Using LE 8.2.5.1 latest build on my TX9 Pro S912 box, and have two problems that I wonder if others are having too.

    Firstly for watching UK TV with my IPTV client I have to enable the option in the AMlogic System Settings to "Disable Deinterlaced Post Processing'' or else I get chroma horizontal tearing very badly on my TV. BTW the TV is a 6 month old LG 55SJ850 Super UHD model so is pretty much latest state of the art (although sadly not OLED as could not afford one of those !) so surprised I am gettign this effect. I do not notice the problem in streaming movies or other material but seems only with my IPTV client service ??? Do not get this problem with earlier LE builds BTW.

    Secondly there seems a problem with 3D content. Although my TV sadly does not have a much missed 3D facility, with previous builds like 8.2.2.3 I seem to rememb er I could watch 3D video files in 2D by selecting that option within KODI with no problems. However now I cannot do so and indeed it locks up the display to a black screen with no sound although the video clock shows it is still playing. After this, some but not all of my video content from my NAS Drive and USB Drive will no longer play exhibiting exactly the same black screen no sound problem, BUT a reboot will allow those to playh agfain normally until once again I try to run a 3D movie file ?? Strange that most still play okay but quite a few won't, need to narrow down which format maybe the culprit here.

    Two obscure problems which I would liek to be able to fix if anyone can help. Other than that 8.2.5.1. is excellent though I cannot measure whether I actually get 10 bit and 444 mode on my TV with suitable source material, though I do get the full UHD and HDR which I can check for okay.

    Why are you saying LE 8.2.5.1 is latest for S912? The OP only has LE 8.2.4.1 as is in title name.

  • [8.2.4.1] LibreELEC Kodi Krypton - S905 & S912 devices

    Quote from Hyacin

    I don't even have my u9-h yet, so take what I'm saying here with a grain of salt, but, when I search for "Hyperion addon" and hit the first page that comes up (Kodi Addon | Hyperion - Forum), the big red "ATTENTION" area right in the middle of the image there, point number two says "Don't use this Addon with enabled hardware acceleration on Android boxes/systems! It won't work!", and I'd assume 98% of your videos are being hardware accelerated.

    I just try without enable hardware acceleration and, HOLY SH*T this works!!!!! You sir are my saviour of the day. I didnt see that page in the guide at all.

    Still have 3 issues/questions however. Sorry if I ask them here but maybe you know a thing or 2 about this since you knew about hardware acceleration.

    1. Which is my main issue atm. The colours are "fading" in and out which is annoying as hell making the ambilight colours not correct. So the colours are always "lagging behind by some" This happens mostly with scenes that are rapidly switching/changing. If the screen is mostly static you'll won't notice any problem. I think this might be a "feature" "effect" of some sorts i googled around can this be a "cinematic fade in/out effect" that is on? I don't see an option though for it.

    Took a video check here: http://www.mediafire.com/...9/VID_20180915_123721.3gp

    2. When playing HDR video's will the colours be correct? (still need to test this myself)

    3. What Threshold value to attribute for playing 16:9 movies? I read around and saw some people talking about values ranging from 0.10 % to 0.25%

    But the guide mentions WAY higher values such as 14 or 16%. I tried both of them. But couldn't say which is more correct quickly. I think (not sure) that the 0.25% value caused in more ambilight then the 16% value."

  • [8.2.4.1] LibreELEC Kodi Krypton - S905 & S912 devices

    What is this LibreELEC-S912.arm-8.2.5.1 ?
    The op says 8.2.4.1 so what are these versions? 8.2.5.1 is true up to date best version?

    Anyway I have a question does anyone have Ambilight running with this image? Or any libre elec image whatsoever?

    Because I have an issue. I install Hyperion on my Minix u9-h neo S912 Box and the ambilight of "Hyperion addon" works with the KODI interface and "pictures" but not with 98% of my video's for some reason.

    I found out that for whatever reason it does work with a couple of videos I compared the mediainfo of those files with some other MKV to see why one MKV would give me ambilight and one wouldn't. Only difference I could notice is that one MKV file was 8 BIT, and another 10 BIT...
    Then I play 4K HDR movie which supposidly is also 10 BIT. but then ambilight doesnt work also... weird.

    I am not inclined to switch Libre Elec versions as I have many addons installed etc.. and configured options that I don't like to reset.
    Perhaps a different libre elec version however, might solve my ambilight problem. but im not sure.. where the problem lies.

  • Please help me connect Ws2811 on Minix neo u9-h (Ambilight/ Hyperion)

    Anyone?? really want to get this working!

    Btw here are my hypercon settings:

    Hardware tab: Screenshot by Lightshot

    Process tab: Screenshot by Lightshot

    Grabber tab: Screenshot by Lightshot

    External tab: Screenshot by Lightshot

    SSD tab: Screenshot by Lightshot


    Then I tried Boblight Addon setup the t4a_boblight.ino file:

    "Boblight Team LibreELEC - 8.2.100"

    "Kodi Boblight Bobo101, Memphiz - 2.0.18

    And I can set a static LED colour and that works correct.
    Then I try some video's anime, 1080p movie, 4k hdr movie. ETC.
    Now for some video's it does seem to work. But no logic as to which videos.
    So far all 4khdr and 1080p movies don't seem to trigger boblight/ambilight.
    Only some anime trigger boblight/ambilight...

    4kHDRand 1080P = movie section in kodi
    anime= tv show section in kodi

  • Please help me connect Ws2811 on Minix neo u9-h (Ambilight/ Hyperion)

    Ok fixed a part of it baud serial rate wasnt the same in the script of the Arduino as in the Hyperion script.

    Now using: Config AdalightAPA102, /dev/ttyUSB0, baudrate 115,200

    Now I the lights are on, and I can controll the leds via the laptop eventhough colours seem way off.

    However the leds don't respond to the video that is being played on the box!!! Why is this?

    Am I missing something? Interal frame grabber should do the job?

  • Please help me connect Ws2811 on Minix neo u9-h (Ambilight/ Hyperion)

    Hardware used:
    Nano V3.0 ATmega328P controller arduino nano CH340 USB driver with CABLE NANO 328P NANO 3.0 Ws2811 Led Strip
    Minix neo u9-h @ Libre Elec 8.2.2.3
    OLED55C7 OLED TV
    Marantz SR 6011

    Software:
    Windows 10 latest updates
    Hypercon V1.03.3

    So I tried following the Hypercon guide, setting all the zones and options and I connect through SSH and send the config through. and start/stop and read the log. But from what I can see nothing is working.

    Not sure what to select @ the "hardware" tab either at "type" WS2801 gives me a log error for:
    LEDDEVICE ERROR: Unknown/Unimplemented device ws2801

    If I select WS281X-RPI I get error
    LEDDEVICE ERROR: Unknown/Unimplemented device ws2812

    If I try "adalight" No errors pop up. (on pc i have also selected adalight with ambibox and that seems to work)
    Anyway No lights popup.
    So what do I have to do get something to pop up lights?
    Also where do I connect my usb arduino nano to? Host PC with Hypercon? or my Minix uh-9 neo box?

    Any tips on making it to work? I feel im close. Since I think I have setup the rest pretty well.
