I'd like to raise the issue I found with AAC 5.1 audio conversion.

The problem I found is a file with AAC 5.1 audio is played, it sounds broken with approx intermittent 1 second bursts of audio and approx 1 second of silence.

Strangely it does this only on the first play. On the second play and subsequent plays the sound converts OK and sounds fine. This problem goes back to the fix posted in this thread almost 2 months ago. If you read back I reported it in January. Reported first here. RE: Librelec Nightly Dolby Digital transcoding bug

I took a video of the first and second play uninterrupted. Posted to youtube.

I'm using RPI4 B with a JustBoom audio digihat which passes through via SPIFD to a Marantz amp.

offbeat - message from the PR - so looking like the addons, etc.

crashes are skin related (estuary mod v2), I contacted author.

I uninstalled the "embuary.info" add on as suggested then upgraded to "LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-11.0-nightly-20220219-ae4b7da" without doing a new image. If it worked it would save me time reinstalling the argonone fan and button drivers.

I also upgraded to the latest nightly LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-11.0-nightly-20220222-ae4b7da and that to seems stable.

There is no crashlog so I assume it's OK. if it crashes I'll post the log her

Thanks for your assistance and for your time.

RPI4B 2Gb.

I tried another update from Feb12 release (stable) to Feb17 release. Same Problems. Looks like it Kodi restarting.

I updated using LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-11.0-nightly-20220216-f42fa56.tar

Kodi resets after a few minutes.

It's good to see so many other corroborating.

Going back to LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-11.0-nightly-20220212-d203600.tar which is rock solid with Argonone fan.

Keep up the good work.

This was different to before. It seemed like Kodi and not libreelec was restarting. Just a flicker a few times and a restart.

Alas I'm out of time. Tomorrow.

frakkin64 Thanks, I'm using RPi 3 stable, so I was just guessing. Let's see that log.

OK is this an SSH command line or do I need to edit a file on the RPi or a file in the tar upgrade file? I'm willing to learn but it might be easier to burn to a SD drive.

OK, I made the changes to config.txt but did not see anything other than bootid etc. in the Cmdline.txt file. I downloaded the latest nightly. LibreELEC-RPi4.arm-11.0-nightly-20220215-8a018bd.tar and tried an update. It looked OK for a while then kodi rebooted a few times before going into safemode.

Same here, its 20220213 that caused the crash. I went back to 20220212 but it still crashed. Fortunately I did a backup with a few days ago so was able restore it.

Probably remnants of the many attempts to get it working. It's never been a problem put fair call. I'll disable it.

How did you do it? I can't get video out of that case no matter what I did. Spent 10 hours trying with the help of the forum. Is your Argon case a V2? Do you have an SSD?

By default video is from HDMI port 0 which is the one nearest the edge. Make sure the connector "clicks" in. Some cable connectors are a bit short and don't fit due to the case thickness. Try another cable if you have one. If you have trouble you can try loosen the circuit board and push while re-tightening to get it as close to the cable hole as possible. You may get the 0.5mm required to make it work. I bought an expensive cable which had a bulky connector housing and was making intermittent contact. I wasted hours sorting it out. I ended up filing a hole in the housing to accommodate the connector molding.

HBBS,

I have DTS capable amp so I have that box ticked. Passthrough DTS samples play fine whether transcoding is on of off. I have no problems except for that one AAC 5.1 glitch which goes away on second attempt.

Lets see what happens when FFMPEG is upgraded.

Good Luck.

Chook.

I did notice something odd when playing AAC 5.1 first. The audio was crackling and interrupted. If I play an E-AC3 or AC3 first and return to the AAC 5.1 file it plays fine. These files are all Dolby Digital Sample files which were converted from AC3 to AAC and E-AC3. I replicated this with the latest update today. I have H264 and H265 mkv videos.

I've attached a shortcut to the logfile. http://ixio/3MDd

I can confirm it.

This bug is solved in the build from today 1/15/22.

Thanks HiassofT

Let's hope that with the newest release of FFMPEG 5.0 this bug doesn't return.

I concurr.

Hi Chook,

Yes I do have pi and system tools installed along with adafruit libraries.

I uninstalled the script and done it again using the above method but still not working no fan control. The script says it installed fine but there is an error that says "too many errors from stdin" after installing the script.

Any ideas?

I assume you edited the argononed.config file.

Mine looks like this.

# Argon One Fan Speed Configuration

#

# Min Temp=Fan Speed

42=12.5

44=25

46=50

48=100

chook

You should do this by jimmyneutron.

1. Edit the argonone-config file on line 35, 36, and 37 to reflect:

echo 55"="10 >> $daemonconfigfile

echo 60"="55 >> $daemonconfigfile

echo 65"="100 >> $daemonconfigfile

2.Edit the argononed.py line 75 to reflect:

/storage/.config directory

fanconfig = ["65=100", "60=55", "55=10"]

2. Create a sh file and name it autostart.sh and in that file copy and paste this script and save:

place file in /storage/.config directory

#!/bin/sh

(

python /storage/.config/argononed.py

) &

3. Edit the argononed.service file in the /storage/.config/system.d directory and add this command to line 8:

ExecStart=/bin/sh -c ". /etc/profile; exec /usr/bin/python /storage/.config/argononed.py"

4. Go to terminal and test by running ./argononed-config

5. Fan will run at those values.

It was a long process getting it working. I feel your frustration.

I am not a coder. but a long time xbmc user.

Quote from matzo70

Thank you for the reply chook55, unfortunately that did not work, still no fan control.

Did you install Raspberry pi tools and System tools? I just did an install to RPi4 version 10.01. Seems to be working.

Install them if not already.

Try systemctl restart argononed.service
