This just in: With the beta1 release, amazon prime video works with my amazon.de prime account in up to 1080p and 5.1 surround on boxes that come with the neccessary DRM support in the hardware. To my knowledge, the wetek hub and the wetek play 2 have this.

Steps I did:

• activate "unknown sources" for addons in settings
• install the kodinerds repo from binary-repo/repository.kodinerds_RPi2-1.0.3.zip at master · kodinerds/binary-repo · GitHub
• install the latest inputstream.adaptive addon from kodinerds repo
• configure the maximum bandwidth for the inputstream addon to something appropriate for the internet connection (I entered 50000000 for 50 MBit/s)
• ssh to the box and run (from: [Kodi 17 +] Inputstream HowTo + AddOns für Kodi 17 ab Beta 6 +, aktuelle Git builds < Update 10.12.2016 - Die angepinnten Themen - Kodinerds.net - Deutschsprachiges Forum zum Kodi Entertainment Center)
  
  Code

  rm ~/.kodi/cdm/libwidevinecdm.so
  curl -Ls http://nmacleod.com/public/libreelec/getwidevine.sh -o /tmp/getwidevine.sh && sh /tmp/getwidevine.sh
  rm ~/.kodi/cdm/libssd_wv.so
  ln -s ~/.kodi/addons/inputstream.adaptive/lib/libssd_wv.so ~/.kodi/cdm/

• install the sandman79 repo from repository.sandmann79.plugins-1.0.2.zip
• install the "amazon vod" video addon
• configure the amazon vod addon to use the inputstream addon
• login with your amazon credentials

Be advised that you enter amazon login credentials to a third party addon - consider the risks before you do so.

So basicly if I Burn the iso it extracts on the SD card I will get a standard dtb.img but I need to rename or to replace ((because you can click on the file on device tree and it iwll start downloading )) it with the one which fits for my Box

Yes, simply delete the dtb.img from the sdcard, move another one there and rename it to dtb.img

Quote

Aswell can you please tell me which .dtb I need for my box.

The two dtb files you mentioned in your first post seem to be right. Depending on your WLAN chipset, but this is not mentioned in you seller's specs. Try one, and if WLAN does not work, try the other.

Do not worry too much. As long as you use the sdcard installation, you cannot brake your box. Just go ahead and try

Picture not showing or being late could be caused by some kind of HDMI handshake problems. This is why I suggested to try different ports on the TV and different cables.

4k passthrough is a function of the receiver.

Try running the box at 1080p. It will automatically switch to 4k if you play such content.

The .dtb file is copied to the sd card after you wrote the image with rufus and needs to be renamed to dtb.img (see first post). You can try a dtb, and if it does not work, remove the card from your box, put it back into your pc and copy another dtb file instead.

Quote from Crotach

When the box starts it pumps extremely loud buzzing noise into the AV receiver. It's blasting my ears even at low volume.
This happens every time, not just after the install.

I do not see this with my hub or the generic S905 box I own. I used both with my avr. Audio issues often indicate that the wrong device tree file is used. Did you use the correct dtb with the corresponding version?

What are your System->Audio settings?

Main issue that I still have is that audio is always delayed by about 0.275s. It was driving me nuts with the 7.1 wrxtasy build and it's the same here.
Every time I want to watch a movie or a TV show I have to go into audio settings, set the delay to about 0.275 (on some it's much worse) and hope for the best.

I do not notice a consistent delay, but my avr has some "lip-sync" functionality that might be interfering. Or maybe I just do not notice it.

Have a look at the kodi log to see if there are any settings applied from a system-wide or user advancedsettings.xml. If I remember correctly, there were some audio delays hardcoded before. I could be wrong though.

Anyway, if you see a consistent audio delay for all files with a specific codec, you can fix it permanently by adjusting it with the onscreen gui during playback and choose "save as default". Alternativly you could create a user advancedsettings.xml with adjustments.

Poida: I run kszaq's libreelec on several boxes (see signature), but currently run the beta only on the wetek hub. If possible, I will provide a file later so we can check if the bug also happens on different hardware

Your box uses an amlogic S912 SoC, while the fix we are discussing here is specific for S905(X) SoC. Also the fix is for Libreelec, not Android.

Currently the box maker is the only one who could help you.

Beta1: Bug rendering ass subtitles

Rendering "heavy" ASS subtitles (which include movement and large fonts) while software decoding 720p hi10p h264 video crashes the wetek hub; picture is frozen, gui does not respond and ssh login is no longer possible. One of my files can be used to reproduce this and I will do further testing to see if this also happens with hardware decoding.

I will try to create a smaller test files that trigger this bug and upload them.

Now in the correct thread:

Did some testing of Beta1 on my wetek hub yesterday. I was surprised how well this version coped with my file collection and tv setup.

• no problematic files found (hevc main and main10, h264 both 8 an 10 bit, mpeg4 in mkv and mp4 containers), chapter and manual skipping worked fine. Will continue testing with some of the older files (divx5, ogm and avi containers)
• MPEG-Dash with the latest inputstream for raspberry pi2 from kodinerds.de works fine with the youtube plugin (1080p youtube, yay!)
• twitch.tv plugin works fine, but I had one hiccup: when I selected a live stream that I played before, it offered to "continue at X:XX" (the duration of the last time I viewed it) and when I selected it, the box froze completely. Never saw this on Jarvis, but suspect the plugin as source of the problem. Sadly, it is not easily reproduced
• PVR with the tvheadend plugin works flawlessly, tested SD mpeg2 (576i), HD (h264 720p and 1080i) and 4k DVB-S2 transmissions). Channel switching times are slightly more than the latest Jarvis version
• all remote buttons worked

Did not test audio passthrough yet. Cannot reproduce the problems from jakotaki007 with my TrueHD7.1 files when using kodi software decode to 2-channel hdmi.

Sorry, wrong thread...

I have no trouble with the Denon X1200W in conjunction with a full hd beamer. What TV are you using? Is it 4k?

You could try different hdmi cables, changing the hdmi port on your tv, or connect a different TV set. If the TV is 4k, you could experiment with the 4k passthrough settings.

It was not my intention to narrow it down to only s905, but to differentiate from s805 that does not offer multi channel audio to my knowledge.

These settings are necessary if you use spdif to connect to the receiver or the HDMI connection is limited by the device.

For any avr that accepts multi channel audio over HDMI you can input the actual speaker setup on a amlogic s905 device.

35 MB/s is about the limit of USB2 hi speed transfer speed (which is 480 MBit/s, but has significant overhead). Could you check which chip is used in your adapter?

This has been solved by the developer. Check here:

LibreELEC

(I also have such a Philips TV)

The closest equivalent command would be

cat /sys/devices/virtual/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/disp_cap

To my knowledge, the amlogic kernel only supports resolutions and frequencies that are typically used for tvs. (i.e. vertical 480, 576, 720, 1080, 2160 @ 23.98, 24, maybe 25, 29.98, 30, 50, 59.98 and 60 Hz).

Here is the result from my full HD tv:

480i60hz
480p60hz
576i50hz
576p50hz
720p60hz
1080i60hz
1080p60hz
720p50hz
1080i50hz
1080p30hz
1080p50hz
1080p25hz
1080p24hz

I bought two different ones from ebay, both generic white usb2 100MBit/s ethernet adapters. One only supported usb1 "full speed", so it was very slow (max 11 MBit/s, even when connected to fast ethernet). The other supports proper usb2 "high speed", and delivers more than 90 MBit/s. It uses an Asix chipset and was advertised as having one.

If yours is also very slow, you should check the usb connection speed besides the ethernet speed. When you plug the usb adapter in, the linux kernel will tell you the usb version and speed used. SSH to the box and check the output of "dmesg".

I use an usb-to-ethernet adapter with my MK808B+. The WLAN is not very good in most of these android sticks or boxes.
