  • Odroid C2, auto rate switching and 24p-defying TV

    Additional info:

    * Under system -> display settings I am only given options to switch to either 50 or 60 Hz. No 24/30 options at all.

    * Googling around found some commands from ODROID • View topic - AMLOGIC & HDMI , I'm adding here outputs in case it might help here:

  • Odroid C2, auto rate switching and 24p-defying TV

    I implemented the changes, as per your suggestions. There was no /storage/.kodi/userdata/disp_cap before I started. Running cat /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/disp_cap produced the following modes:

    I created the disp_cap file by using cat /sys/class/amhdmitx/amhdmitx0/disp_cap > /storage/.kodi/userdata

    /disp_cap and then edited the latter file to include 1080p24 and 1080p30 modes. disp_cap contained the following then:

    Note that I did not use any specific order in this file, should I?

    I restarted kodi with systemctl and tried to play some material. Trying both 30Hz and 23.97Hz material did not switch to the relevant mode. Instead Sammy stayed at 60Hz (as depicted when I press the samsung "info" button).

    What could/should I look for?

  • Odroid C2, auto rate switching and 24p-defying TV

    This is my first C2 install, after having some good 3 years on RPi2. I've got a Sammy TV which could support perfect 24p playback. On RPi2 unfortunately, the 24p mode was not detected. So I made a custom EDID file (there's a faq somewhere) and included the relevant option in LE's config.txt file to boot using this speficic EDID info. Doing so, my RPi2 happily switched between 60Hz, 50 Hz and 24Hz!

    After switching to C2 I am encountering the exact same situation: System happily boots up on 1080p60, however TV does not switch to 24p when 24p material is played. It sticks with 60Hz.

    Can I pull a similar trick on C2, like I used on RPi2? That is, trick C2 into thinking that TV can also support 1080p24? FYI, I have enabled the relevant option in the Kodi UI to auto-change rate.

  • [FIXED][ODROID C2] No boot on new LE install

    /me facepalms :p

    Funny thing is that I had already read the blue LED change...

    Problem is that since this is a new LE install, SSH does not get enabled until after the user reaches the specific point in the wizard. Your recommendation to check my router's DHCP was awesome though; will check that when I get back home.

    My assumption is that I have a non-grounded HDMI cable, as described in ODROID • View topic - No HDMI output

    But that's easy to check, got plenty of HDMI cables and monitors at home :)

    Awesome work BTW with LE, you guys rock!

  • [FIXED][ODROID C2] No boot on new LE install

    After shipping my RPi2-based LE 8 box to my dad, I replaced it with a used C2. Downloaded and flashed a stock LE 8.2 image for it on a 16Gb SD card (tried both Samsung and Kingston). Installed it and ... nothing. Red light lights up constantly. Blue LED lights constantly for a while and then goes off permanently.

    I've tried flashing with both your flashing app as well as win32diskimager. And also used different 2Amp PSUs, same type I've been powering my own RPi2 without a hitch for some 3 years. Same deal. Additionally, display (a 6-year Samsung 40" high quality at the time tv) remains blank.

    For the sake of checking I also flashed a stock Android image from the Odroid site. This time there is definite kernel activity, the blue LED lights intermittently. I still do not have tv output, however I do hope this is a HDMI issue.

    Any ideas what might be going wrong here?

  • Done 7.0.3 -> 8: some CEC remote custom mappings stopped working

    So, I've now got some time to check things out by enabling debug log as well. I can see that there are some problems this time, when parsing my remote.xml:

    Remember that I am using confluence and not estuary here (in case that matters). I am not a coder, but it feels as though there used to be tags for windows like "videolibrary"/"videofiles", with now do not exist on krypton/confluence... Can someone help here?

  • Done 7.0.3 -> 8: some CEC remote custom mappings stopped working

    From the the lack of responses I can only presume that no-one has experienced this, or perhaps I have not searched good enough for similar issues.

    In any case, would someone be kind enough to perhaps try my remote.xml on krypton/rpi to see if:

    * in movie/episode view, pressing red on a movie/episode brings up the context menu and

    * also in movie/episode view, pressing green on a movie/episode opens up the information view?

    Thanks in advance to anyone taking the 15' to try this and report back. Like I said, the same remote.xml file worked flawlessly from OE 5.x to LE 7.x...

  • Done 7.0.3 -> 8: some CEC remote custom mappings stopped working

    I'm using a custom remote.xml file on RPi2 on my Sony tv, plus a couple of boxes for friends and family.

    CEC remote file ~/.kodi/userdata/keymaps/remote.xml : ibeS

    I do not use any other customizations. This custom remote file adds some things for CEC remotes like:

    * pressing blue during playback to download subs,

    * pressing red to display the context menus while in movie/episode view

    * pressing green to pop-up the information window (story, actors, plot etc)

    This remote.xml has been used without a single change from the days of OpenELEC 6.x. It worked perfectly after the ugprade to LE 7.x. Problem is that the two last bindings have stopped in LE 8. Any idea what might be at fault here. I have not produced any logs so far, if needed please tell me which debug options (CEC?) I should check please.

  • Configure a persistent VLAN interface

    Nice thread. Apologies for re-opening it after almost half a year, but as a VLAN newcomer, I'd appreciate if you could explain how the rest of the network is used.

    Let me explain. I have an unmanaged switch connected to a avm fritz 7270 (IIRC) ADSL router. As far as I have read on VLANs you have to have some sort of managed switch to have trunking etc.

    Or do you just have a router that understands VLANs and keeps them separate? I'd appreciate any sketch you might have on your network, I'm in need of a similar separation on my own home network and I don't know how to go about it.

  • LE 7: using a Logitech Dinovo BT dongle with BT remotes?

    Hello,

    I've got an Rpi2 running LE 7.0.2. Connected is a Logitech Dinovo dongle. The assorted keyboard works fine with it. what I want to do though, is use BT devices like a Sony Ps3 remote with it. I don't care if I would not be able to work with he keyboard anymore.

    I've rnabled BT in the LE settings, but it does not see any BT devices. I've read that switching to HCI mode might be needed, but I'm not sure on how to proceed from here.

    Any advice willbe appreciated.

  • RPi2: some boxes after reset have a June 2016 date

    I have a number of RPi2 boxes upgraded from OE 6.0.3 to LE 7.0.2.

    Some of them and not all of the time, after reboot are initialized with a date on June 2016! My NTP servers are gr.pool.ntp.org, 1.gr.pool.ntp.org and 2.gr.pool.ntp.org

    I've made some ntpdate -q queries on them, but all report the current time/date. I don't know what to make of this issue, I'll try to get debug logs and attach them here.

    This is an intermittent problem, so it might be a while till I upload these logs here. In the meantime, if someone has experience anything of the like, please feel free to share.

  • Chromium?

    Just found out about this addon. Not having worked with Chromium before, I'd like to ask a couple of things:

    1) Does chromium require a keyboard / mouse for proper operation?

    2) Can one return back to LE by pressing some combination?
