Unfortunately I don't have board in question so hopefully it will be solved in upstream at one point.

Hi Jernej would you mind sharing the relevant boards you are having access to for testing? Just curious which ones we can expect being supported the best.

Quote from jernej

jarda9 As lumpi said, it's not supported by SoC. Nevertheless, it should fallback to SW decoding. I'll check that...

jernej I'd expect that an A20 isn't up to the task of soft decoding h.265? Already h.264 in 720p50 takes 2.5+ cores of my amlogic S912...

Hi to all.

I'm testing LibreELEC-A20.arm-9.80-nightly-20200629-d0f7212-bananapi on my Banana Pi and there's a problem with hevc playback. Only a still image from the movie appears on the screen, the sound is played for a while, and then there is silence.

Thanks in advance to the wise members for their explanation and possible correction.

- A20 doesn't support H265 (HEVC) - SoC was made before H265 was standardized (hardware limitation)

Is something like this part of LE for rk3399?

rk3399-cortex-m0.git - PMU Cortex M0 firmware source for RK3399 Q7 (Puma)

Just looking at the datasheet and found this:

1.2.5  System Component 
  Cortex-M0 
  Two Cortex-M0 inside RK3399 to cooperate with Cortex-A72/Cortex-A53 
  Thumb instruction set  combines high code density with  32-bit performance 
  Integrated  sleep modes  for low power consumption 
  Fast code execution permits slower processor clock or increases sleep mode time 
  Deterministic, high-performance interrupt  handling for time-critical  applications 
  Serial Wire  Debug reduces the number of pins required  for debugging 

if this MCU has control over PMU and IR receiver all but the M0 can be shut down. That works before u-boot I suppose.

Hi everyone

Is this the correct thread for the actual nightly builds for rk3399 devices here: Index of /

I'm actually thinking about buying an rk3399 based board and am wondering if it is possible to turn the SBC on via IR remote or on board button, or if it has to be powercycled once shut down.

Thanks

P.S. turns out npcomplete has similar question I guess it all depends if there is an embedded controller and if that's supported by mainline LE.

Thanks chewitt

That was ok vs enter, if I remember correctly.

But it seems kodi can deal with these my very keycodes, as my other box receives exactly those codes from eventlircd instead of event1, so it can deal with them I'd guess.

Also it is not recognised as a joystick or mouse, which is a good sign, its weird and confusing.

Hello

I am facing a strange issue, as I'm having a Bluetooth remote that exposes two event nodes and mostly everything works fine, except the channel up down buttons.

If I'm checking with evtest it gives me key_channelup and key_channeldown but my pvr addon doesnt react at all, also the key remapper addon gives for both keys the same bogus code.

Interestingly on a second LE box with an IR remote IRW gives me the exactly same keypresses as evtest and there it works.

I tried also attaching eventlircd to the corresponding event1 bit that doesnt seem to work at all.

LE with Bluetooth is 9.2.3 for rpi2 running on a rpi3

The one with the IR remote is an Allwinner H3 with the latest test version.

I tried Is there an addon or a command to detect remote key for RF remote like LIRC ?

Also those links have been considered:

98-eventlircd.rules

And a couple of more voodoo things nothing helped.

Does anyone have any idea what to try next? Of course I can test and provide logs, if someone has an idea in what direction it might lead

I took a surely interlaced sample from DVB-C and it plays fine on X2, all the combing that could be seen on kaffeine without deinterlacing are gone.

Quote from jernej

zillevdr as I said, I need sample video to reproduce issue, otherwise I can't help. Additionally, make sure that it works if you disable deinterlacing.

Yesterday I managed to capture a couple of interlaced samples, will try them out in the evening and report.

Sorry meant to say to limit it generally on H3 as a default setting.

I guess the mali400 is not really up to the task with 4k GUI

Oh ok got a new TV my 8years old Samsung was better for such tests.

Maybe it's possible to limit resolution to 1080p?

Tried changing resolution to 1080p/60 and it seems better now.

How come this happens? That's a new thing right?

Video looks good now, now just have to find out if its interlaced content...

found an m2t mpeg transport stream with h.264 video, and unfortunately audio and video are out of sync by a couple of seconds also every now and then some hiccups (fraction of a second stops).

Not sure if it's a deinterlacer issue.

Do you know how to get info on the used vodeo codecs and settings? Just can't seem to find that button on the remote...

Edit:

Just switched deinterlacing off and glitches are still there, also the loss of sync is there but seems bit less...

Trying a different container soon

P.S. is it normal I can only post again after 30 minutes? It's sometimes quite annoying and doesn't help the communication flow.

I updated but found not a single working add on to play any video, trying with some video from sd card

Anyone using the H5 image? CEC HDMI doesn't work for me

does the board have CEC? My HW has it wired to the wrong pin

Quote from jernej

Someone here who would like to test HW deinterlacing and report back findings?

It's not polished yet, but if there are no big issues, it might be already useable.

Trying, just taking out my x2, will report back once i tried it.

Edit: first impression is good, seems to run stable, not yet sure I already watched interlaced content. Maybe it adds a bit to motion blur?

Edit 2: Didn't find any real problems, it easily has nightly quality.

The only point I feel that might be slightly affected is some less smooth movements, but I can't really tell. If there is something it's very subtle.

Quote from Jayson

Hi! Installed the latest build, in add-ons there is no PVR IPTV Simple Client Kodi. I can not watch TV channels. Tell me what should I do to get PVR IPTV Simple? device H3, orange pi pc

Usually there are two possibilities: wait until the proper add ons are built and becoming available, or go and build them yourself.

I know not the answer we all would love to hear, but it is an experimental thing. We are just on nightlies in the middle of some kodi transitions, and not on a release channel yet.

In that case it is very risky experimenting with such a box...
