deleonkikko Regarding the Rock pi 4C+ I saw that the device trees in u-boot and mainline kernel are present. So a porting attempt is possible. Unfortunately, I don't have that board so if you can help me with tests I can propose it as a new device (to be included in libreelec 13, to check if it can also be added later in libreelec 12)

It's a bit baffling that an older beta was working good (well, crashes aside) while not one but two releases are crippled and the current beta is just as broken.
It's a little disconcerting until you go in and see how much code has changed.
As for the slowness with 4K, the subject of this thread which I imagine you haven't read to the end, it has been written that it also depends (but not only) on the DDR4 clock. the fix in question is being tested and will be released as soon as possible.
in the meantime, you can try this old test build and see if it improves anything

SixSixTwo what resolution? I imagine 4k. however there are known problems with the 3328 and unfortunately you have to be patient for the fixes. In the meantime, try with a lower resolution and/or try with another HDMI cable.

Hi luisfp
I just have a question about the Python version these builds are using?
the same as the official libreelec 11 which is 3.11.2.
I am trying to install Zach's repo for games and am not able to get it working. I've installed v1.0.4. Installs but does nothing. I'm not able to install Advance Emulator Launcher or Internet Archive Game Launcher due to Python dependency not met. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
it's strange, could you kindly send some logs?

hello there, ive figured out the solution which is to change the resolution and refresh rate in the kodi settings, tho now idk why but my connections tab is completely empty, it works with wired as ive tested(tho i wouldnt wanna use it since my router is half broken) but when theres no wired connection is it purely blank
maybe your box has an unsupported wireless chip. To confirm I would need photos of the internal board, or some photos taken from the Android settings. In any case if you don't want to use the ethernet card I recommend a USB wifi adapter
ilmich are you creating a new post on libreelec 12 or do you plan to keep this topic? I'll keep an eye on your progress.
I think I'll make a new post.

rk3318 is the little brother of the rk3328.. try the official ones for this soc. It's not guaranteed that everything will work but they should almost boot.

Hi, actually in the librecomputer source repositories I saw that I can try to increase the clock a little more.I'll do some tests.
Regarding the resolution problem with my monitor, everything works correctly with libreelec 9.2 (which has the vendor kernel). With all other subsequent versions it doesn't switch me to 720p (I don't have a 4k device). When you can, can you also do some tests with libreelec 9.2? Just to better understand if it supports all resolutions and therefore be on the safe side by trying to understand the differences between vendor and mainline (the drivers have been rewritten but the starting point is the kernel vendor) -
chaconet please without logs I can't help you
on my boxes WiFi works as usual.

ham-egg-and-chips wich model of box? no particolar issue for me at 24hz.

Hi FurmanSK your observations are correct, in many cases the operations are accelerated via hardware (gpu, decoding) so before the bottleneck was the ram which at low speeds kept the cpu busy which had the task of waiting and synchronizing the texture movements and video streams. the ram now runs at 800mhz and the bottleneck has moved (even if with estuary I reach 30fps)
the resolution problem is known, from the little I've seen there is a regression in kernel 6.6 which has impacts almost everywhere. I'm trying to understand more -
Hi FurmanSK,

the new board finally arrived today. I tried libreelec 12beta2 and it works, but in my opinion it can be improved a lot. I will let you know
-
Hi FurmanSK the first attempt was bad (I think I ruined the board maybe using a bad power supply).. I have another one coming and I should be able to try and develop with this board.

I need to use kodi for an old television and I saw that kodi 9 does work with AV, but without color
I'm thinking of porting that driver into the new release of libreelec 12. Anyway, what kind of standard does your TV use? Pal or NTSC, from what I have studied the lack of color may depend on the fact that the driver uses one standard, and the television accepts another. However, I haven't yet understood how to change the behavior (i.e. make the driver use one standard rather than another)
It is possible to enable other IR protocols to map another remote control?
Technically yes, but keep in mind that turning the box on via remote control only works with the nec/necx protocol(which is why the others are disabled). This is because it is implemented in a proprietary binary that cannot be modified.
-
And nothing pushed to github?
before releasing on github I do some testing on my boxes. anyway in the next few days, I will make the last release of 11 and it will all be on github too
-
miclass have you tried modifying the dtb? Have you noticed any problems? I'm about to release the last version of 11 (then I'll start with 12)
LewisTowm may I please know what you need it for? the analogic video output driver does not exist in mainline kernels, I could try to implement it but for now, I don't see the use for it
@reznik1988 A thousand thanks.
-
Hi miclass, try with this dtb (if you are booting from SD try replacing the file you find in the FAT partition).
I increased the clock of ddr3 memory. Since the faster the RAM, the less load is on the CPU, it could be cooler.Regarding the heat sink, it's not difficult to remove it with pliers. You have to make slow but firm rotations and it comes off. But I understand your fear, I had it the first time too.
Ps: remove .txt extension

Happy to know it helped to solve a problem - I am curious to know what was the issue, something missing?
I've seen how DRMPrime works and for non hardware decoded videos it uses linux's dma heaps (which I didn't have enabled).
The processor become quite hot, I would like to had a little fan but I am wondering which is the best place on the board where to connect it.
I recommend you try a larger heatsink first
Anyway it's amazing what these boxes can still do today
The hardware has good multimedia performance. Add to that two years of testing and fine-tuning
