    its not always convenient to do that. for instance i want to power on the device to access its smb shares and the other half is watching tv i can hardly change the hdmi input mid stream. The fact is something that should work is not working and i'm asking for help and advice to get it working correctly. If i forget to change the source first it means i get no output on the display at all and means i have to ssh in to reboot the device.

    well it works as expected under windows, dolby true hd passthrough works as well (i can live without this for the time being), and it does not matter what is turned on first in the chain nuc, amp tv... switch to the correct source and i have picture and audio no matter what. So this is specifically a Libreelec problem not hardware so how do we go about getting this working on Libreelec?????

    im not even trying to ask for the hard stuff ( hd pass through, hdr, 4k ect) i just want 1080 and dd / dts with the custom edid working

  • nuc6cayh

    8.0.2 , 8.1.0 , 8.1.1 , 8.1.2 & 8.2.0 non of them work as expected, they all have issues with display and sound of some sorts. 8.2.0 seems the most reliable but you have to make sure the tv & avr are powered on and on the correct hdmi input for it to work there is no sound in the kodi gui for some reason though and also dolby true hd passthrough does not work but i was expecting that problem.

    all in all a bit of a let down really, i have since packed the nuc6cayh back in to the box and am now using it as a paperweight, and have gone back to using my old dn2820fykh as it works exactly as expected.

    The message contains censored words: we*ght??

    ok slight progress sort of. If i go back to 8.0.2 i get display but no sound if the amp is on the wrong hdmi port. edaW

    if i go to 8.1.0 or upwards i get no sound or and display if the amp is set to the wrong hdmi port: OeXD

    Code
    [1788863.782] (II) intel(0): Output DP1 has no monitor section

[1788863.783] (II) intel(0): Enabled output VIRTUAL1

    it appears its be not turning the display on unless it sees a hdmi connected

    8.1.2 with amp on correct source: PNXF

    Code

    Code
    Output DP1 using initial mode 1920x1080 on pipe 0

    so how can i make it force the output when no hdmi is connected?

  • nuc6cayh

    i have the latest bios and also the updated firmware for the hdmi adaptor chip, i have tested with it directly connected to the tv on 2 different tv's and unless the tv is switched on and on the correct hdmi port i get no display and xrandr reports the same message that 'DP1 is not disconnected but has no modes'

    i have tried the 8.2.0 build and the previous one 8.1.2

    i have tried re running the getedid command still no dice, tried manually copying the files no better, i tried to copy the files from my old nuc as i thought the new one may not be reading the edid correctly still no better. i even connected the nuc to the tv directly and tried with just the tv edid data no better. no matter what i try my amp refuse to acknowledge there is something connected to unless its on the correct source when powering up the new nuc. and xrandr reports 'Output DP1 is not disconnected but has no modes'

    Code
    grep -i edid /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[1763340.850] Kernel command line: root=/dev/ram0 rdinit=/init usbcore.autosuspend=-1 BOOT_IMAGE=/KERNEL boot=LABEL=System disk=LABEL=Storage  quiet initrd=/edid.cpio drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=DP-1:edid/edid.bin video=DP-1:D

[1763341.171] (II) intel(0): Using EDID range info for vertical refresh

    does this mean its loading the edid?

    UbiZ is the output from dmsg

    looking for some advice on what to try next

    Have the same Nuc and No problems. Works flawlessly. Maybe fresh install of 8.2.0?

    nope still does not work as expected. its the edid i'm having the most problems with. if i boot the nuc with the tv on and my avr on the correct source all is well i get this;

    if i have the avr on a different source i get this:

    Code
    wrong source
LibreELEC:~ # xrandr
xrandr: Output DP1 is not disconnected but has no modes
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 8 x 8, maximum 32767 x 32767
DP1 connected primary (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DP2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
VIRTUAL1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

    then when i switch to the correct source i get this along with no image or sound;

  • nuc6cayh

    when i run xrandr i get 'Output DP1 is not disconnected but has no modes' this turns in to a bit of a show stopper and stops the nuc booting all the way in to libreelec until the amp is switched to the correct source for the nuc. this is after using the getedid create command.

  • nuc6cayh

    i received my new nuc6cayh today to replace my old dn2820fyk. and its a bit of a let down. first of all the custom edid does not work if my avr is set to another source i get no picture. i used the getedid on the old one and this worked great.

    secondly the audio is all kinds of messed up some boots it works fine some boots it does not. dd and dts pass through ok when its working but aac5.1 only plays as 2 channel pcm even though the speaker settings are set for 5.1. where as in the old one would output 5.1pcm

    all this worked perfectly on the dn2820fyk and not so much on the new one

  • [8.2.3.1] LibreELEC 8.2 for S905/S905X

    Quote from grom_e30

    i have a a95x 2gb with a s905x and a odroid c2 both using 8.1.9 and they work great, but i have noticed when ever i set the speaker output in audio settings to anything other than 2.0 my av amp reports its receiving lpcm of 7.1 regardless of what i have set it to. When audio is passed through my amp displays the correct info eg dolby digital 3/2/1 and the correct number of speakers is shown on the display. My nuc running libreelec connected to the same amp works as expected set it to 2.1 that's what the amp reports its receiving.

    the reason i have been setting it to 5.1 is so that the files i have with aac 5.1 audio play in 5.1, as i have found that ac3 transcoding is a bit hit and miss and does not seem to work correctly, sometimes its fine and sometimes the sound is really bad and it sounds like the volume is being turned up and down constantly through the file, pausing skipping or restarting can sometimes correct it but not always.


    edit: log attached played infinity chamber passed through fine as expected displaying 5.1 on my amp. played moonwalker aac 5.1 and amp displayed 7.1 channels, also i experienced a horrible loud noise output on one of the times i started it

    don't suppose anyone has any insight on this?

  • odroid c2 ir remote

    i have a odroid c2 runing on 8.1.1 and i am trying to use it with a dell rc260 mce remote but im getting double key presses so is unusable and somewhat annoying it seems to repeat the previous key pressed so if i press down, then right i get: down, down then right. iv tried the same ir-keymap file on an intel nuc with a built in ir receiver and a rpi3 with gpio ir and they both work exactly as expected with the same remote and keymap files. it seems to be only the odroid that is giving me issues i have tried most things i can think of like changing the delay and also lirc is disabled in the le settings but im now out of ideas.
