no need to answer, thanks, Ive read in another thread here that rpi4 is not up to the job without stuggle. I dont want the CPU to work hard anyway.

I will buy a PC instead for the job, or wait till I can buy a rpi3 instead.

Thanks.

Hi. Rpi4 has h264 hw support up to 1080p, but how does it handle vc1 software 1080p, can it manage it without struggle?

Reason for asking Its impossible to buy a rpi3 now, so the rpi4 is the closest. Im not interested in 4K, only being able to play vc1 1080p smooth...

Of course i can buy a pc for like $ 500 , but i dont want to spend so much, and dont have place for pc .

But the LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2.5-Chroma.422.10bit.img does multichannel 24bits , dont understand

ok, but does all S905 support 24bits LPCM multichannel output, then why did wrxtasy say: "And yes the 24bit Kernel HDMI output signalling changes talked about in that thread are in the LE v8.2.5.x versions onwards" it seems version below 8.2.5 dont support that..

I always thoght it was HW limited by Android S905 and that LE 8.2.5 was coded to support that anyway.

Its very hard to confirm 24 bit output, you need some analyzer hdmi of some sort, As far as I know there is no Receiver that could show 24 vs 16 bit input via HDMI, so I dont know how to confirm this. Receivers via hdmi can confirm only 48/96/192khz and they can confirm if 2 channel or 5-7 channel, but not 24 or 16 bits.

for example, The Nvidia Shield TV only support 16 bits if LPCM 5.1, and only 2 channel 24 bits.

in this thread, I post a link:

OSMC announced new Vero4k, opinions?

wesk05 says: "All Amlogic devices are limited to 16-bit output. An HDMI analyzer or a HDFury Vertex will show you the maximum word length (bit depth) set in the Channel Status Bits of the HDMI signal. 24-bit doesn't necessarily mean that the output is indeed 24-bit, but if these bits are set to 16-bit (max word length-20), then 24-bit output is completely ruled out and that is what you would see with Amlogic devices."

No way to check easy if output is 16 or 24 bits in LPCM 5.1, amlogic chipset is limited to 16 bit out in LPCM, just wanted to verify if later version LE also did support 24bits LPCM like the

LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2.5-Chroma.422.10bit.img

24-bit output

You sure? I thought I read a post from wesk05 on the Kodi forum, that all AMlogic devices are limited to 16bit audio when not bitstreamed 😥 Although that…

And yes the 24bit Kernel HDMI output signalling changes talked about in that thread are in the LE v8.2.5.x versions onwards

Is this the only version of LE on Android S905 that outputs bit perfect sound ? (24Bits LPCM 5.1 sound), other wise android is limited to only 16 bits

LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2.5-Chroma.422.10bit.img

I know the above is doing 24 bits in 5.1 sound, but just wanted to know if a newer version offers same ?

And does the LE S905 versions support S905x3 and S905x4 ?

Hi, Ive got a small problem, but big to me .

I have a Rpi3 that is flawless with smooth playback on 1080p VC-1 and H264, never had any problems with it so ever.

Now I need one more mediaplayer in my other room to my new LG OLED B1 .

There is no chance on getting one more Rpi3 here where I live, so I looked at the new Rpi4 BUT from what Ive read so far there is no support in HW for VC-1 playback, so I cant buy that one. Any suggestions? I can buy a android box but there was also a problem with sound in some of these not being able to output perfect 24bits 5.1 sound from kodi, it was downgraded to 16 bits, dont remember whare Ive read that, but was a long time ago, think it was Android 905 or 915?

I want perfect 24 bits 5.1 sound output and HW support for smooth playback on 1080p VC-1 and H264.

How about a new PC, like a new Intel cpu gen12 or amd ryzen based one, will they support perfect 24 bits 5.1 sound output and HW support for smooth playback on 1080p VC-1 and H264 with LE booted into an usb stick?

Ive looked at the new Nvidia Shield, but from experience with my older ones they dont do well with kodi, so I will skip that one.

(If it makes any difference I will playback only from external 2.5" harddrive)

If i make one extra Partition on my: SSD or my mechanical harddrive to lets say 100gb...

Would installing LE Kodi there last longer then on my USB 32GB stick?

Quote from Klojum

Apparently you disabled everything including the storing of settings

No, debug logging is for ... debug logging. Nothing else. Running LibreELEC on a USB is not what I would recommend. USB sticks can/will wear out sooner or later. They don't have TRIM functionality like SSDs do.

Enabling your logfile is the first step for troubleshooting. Because saving resume points and/or watched states is done in the video library, and it's possible that this file has corrupted at some point. It is one of the very few files in LibreELEC that is being updated time after time.

Please provide a full debug log.

How to post a log (wiki)

1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging
2. Restart Kodi
3. Replicate the problem
4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)

use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link

Would it be better to run LE with a micro sd card vs usb stick? to last longer

Do debugg logging need to be enable to remember last position in movies?

LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.2.5.img on usb stick booting into several HTPC:s, it never remembers where I left off last time if I want to continue watching next time,

I also have to Audio offset to my prefered +100ms every time I restart LE...

Have I missed something, I have all debugg loggings disabled and all services disabled, I also have internet connecttions disabled..

Deinterlaced is greyed out, and if I turn of HW decoding, then cpu load must be really hight as the video stuuters poor now,,,, so cant try those settings...

I guess I have to accept is only plays 23.976 1080p, and not 1080i 29.97....... better accept it then laying 10 more hours trying to find the issue....

I just thought a S905X box like the T95m was capable of playing those files without macroblocking, but no problems, I accept it

ok, thanks, will try disable deinterlacing first, then check cpu....

disable HW decoding wil probably not be an option as I think the CPU load will be to high.

I need 24 bits audio also on this box, so I need to stick with wrxtasy:s version: LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2.5-Chroma.422.10bit.img, as for what I know this is the only version with 24 bits audio to a S905 box...

Thanks...

ouch, Im sorry, didnt think the first one did post.... keep this one, remove the other one please....

To me it seems it must be some hardware problem, how come otherwise only 1080i is affected?

My settings in LE Kodi are always simple, no iternet, no logging, always playing from external harddrives.....

Just wundering if the resolution can be the problem, playing 1080i videos on 1366x768 TV, strange thing is my other s905 box does it fine......

Its timeconsuming trying to narrow it down...

If anyone have some tip, I will try, Next step for me will be connect it to a 1080p TV, even if I dont think thats the reason...

I have this T95m tv box, android, Android 6.0, 905x, and 1gb ram...

pp_366023.html

Lets skip to much intro talk

Almost every 1080i 29,97fps Video Im getting macro blocking like once in a minute, never on 1080p 23,976 fps....

WHY? It should be an OK box to play 1080 resolution videos, good reveiews...

tried many LE version same thing...

Hdmi cable?

resolution problem, as the TV is a 1366x768 pixel one...

Tried it directty to TV and via a receiver, same thing..

Maybee should try on a 1080p TV, but could that really be the problem?

thanks, then I will keep it.... good to know its OK..

Hi, just read that micro SD card must be good enough, to hold in time.. that got me a little bit concerned if my micro SD card will hold up.

Someone said the card will only hold like 6 month before is worn out..

Im running LE in a Rpi3, works great...

I now have the Sandisk micro SD ULTRA 16GB card: https://www.amazon.co.uk/sandisk-microsdhc-memory-adapter-performance/dp/b073k14cvb

I only use LE in the Rpi3 for watching 1080p videos, no logging, no internet, and as clean as possible in settings.

I use the Rpi3 for like 2 hours 2-3 times a week,

Is that card OK, will it hold over time?

forgot to add: No problems with these 1080i 29.97hz videos on Windows Kodi, HTPC LE Kodi, Windows MPC-HC, LE Pi3, Nvidia Shield Kodi.. All works..

Just wanted to ask if there is an issue of getting macroblocks/artifacts on certain hardware and not on other?

Im using LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2-8.2.3.1.img

Only playing local files threw USB or HDD

Im getting macroblocks/artifacts random, like 2-3 times per 5 minutes, hardware: android box T95M, S905X, 2gb ram.

Never on 1080p 23.976 hz, always on 1080i 29.97hz ......

So far on 3 videos, one from what I did see did not suffer from this....

The videos that are affected are M2TS or MKV or ISO, so it doesent matter what type of format..

Ive noticed my resolution is not present to chose in LE setting, my TV is a LED 32" with 1366x768 pixels, so I choose 1080p in setting...

Ive tried all kind of fps setting, Ive tried : adjust display refresh rate all setting, STILL SE SAME....

Tried different usb drives, different HDD:s, different usb ports, different HDMI cables, STILL THE SAME....

Then I decided to try my Venz V10 android box, S905 , 1gb ram, (used the same setting in this one as the other one, same 1080p setting and so on)

So far no problems, so it seems this one is working...

My question is: Could it be some less good hardware in the T95M box that is causing this? compared to my Venz V10 android box

Because the only thing that is changed is swapping Android boxes, other is same: LE version, same cables, same TV, same settings, same usb stick wich the videos are in..

At first I thought it had something to do with resolution, but both boxes cant find my TV resolution so Im running 1080p on both, no difference in this matter.

The strange thing is it never happens with 1080P 23.976 videos only on 1080i 29.97hz

Any tips to try? or is my T95M box bad ?
