  • Realtek 8192S not working since LE11

    No change after removing all wifi service folders.

    connmanctl fails at "scan wifi" since the technology does not exist:

    Code
    Error /net/connman/technology/wifi: Method "Scan" with signature "" on interface "net.connman.Technology" doesn't exist
    Code
    connmanctl> technologies 
/net/connman/technology/ethernet
  Name = Wired
  Type = ethernet
  Powered = True
  Connected = True
  Tethering = False
  TetheringFreq = 0

    I also tried manually scan in iwd but there as well is no device or adapter listed.

  • Realtek 8192S not working since LE11

    "ifconfig wlan0 up" results in the device listed in ifconfig:

    Code
    wlan0     Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 24:05:0F:6B:F2:EF
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
          RX bytes:0 (0.0 B)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 B)

    but connman does not change the operstate:

    As you can see I switched the device between up and down but the operstate stays at 2.

    I just tested the dongle with my notebook (Linux Mint - Kernel 5.15) and can verify that it works there.

  • Realtek 8192S not working since LE11

    I am using a USB dongle WLAN adapter for some time now.

    Since upgrading to LE11 the adapter is not recognized by connman while the onboard WLAN adaper of my RPi3 is working fine (except the small antenna).

    I can not recognize any error in dmesg

    but in connman only the wired network is recognized as technology.

    Any suggestions`?

  • RPi Deinterlacer testbuild

    No success. New logs (with debug logs on): 3NLX

    While teletext is shown the framerate drops to 20 fps. Maybe some underrun?

    -----------

    An even better one: 3NMg

    Its from my RPi3 (latest libreelec-10.0 build)

  • RPi Deinterlacer testbuild

    I am using a build of the libreelec-10.0 branch which got deinterlacer merged lately (thanks to @HiassofT)!

    Working great until I enter the channel list (PVR addon) or enter teletext (tested on RPi3 and RPi4). In this case the RPi crashes (reproducable) shortly after. If no deinterlacer is in use (720p stream) then no crash happens. I am not able to analyse the crash myself but can provide crash.log if needed.

  • RPi Deinterlacer testbuild

    Great work! Thank you very much!

    I merged the patches to my local libreelec-10.0 branch and tested it on RPI3. Working really well for 576i and 1080i.

    Only thing were a few interlacings in fast vertical movements which seems strange. I will investigate this further ...

  • RPi Deinterlacer testbuild

    I was able to build an image with the ffmpeg source provided by popcornmix on GIHUB in order to test the deinterlacer on RPi3 and PRi4. From what I found the latest linux-firmware should support it already.

    What I couldn't figure out is, how to reactivate the deinterlacer in Kodi again. Can somebody here give me a hint on that?

  • LE 10 - RPI4 - No passtrough because "sync playback to display"

    I recently upgrade my RPI4 to LE10. After the upgrade AC3 passthrough is not working and instead the audio is resampled.

    My audio device supports passthrough:

    But it resampling since "synctype is set to 1":

    Code
    DEBUG <general>: CVideoPlayerAudio:: synctype set to 1: resample

    From what I read I should disable "Sync playback to display" setting which was removed in LE 10 since the switch to GBM ...

    So how to solve this problem?

    Update: Yestersdays nightly for RPI2 has the settings item "Sync playback to display" (disabled by default). There passthrough works ...
