    Hello all,

    I made a fresh install on a RPi4. Very good work!

    Unfortunately I found also the following issues:

    - CEC working only on hdmi0. So if you use are using both, one for video, the other for sound, you can try to switch cables to solve it!

    - All videos are darker, both SDR and HDR, all resolutions. TV is an LG, hdmi deep color is enabled on hdmi, compared with same videos played from Apple TV 4K or from Plex App within LG using same standard Profile, Cinema, set on both hdr and sdr mode, they result darker. This is not completely wrong, in an Oled panel may be also better, but on a LCD IPS panel with very bad contrast you may loose a lot of details on dark scenes, exspecially on hdr videos.

    I solved setting Dark Level to High in picture menu.

    - Sound. It is great! I can get smooth lossless audio from my AVR. TrueHD an DTS HD MA are very good.

    But there is lack of Atmos an DTS:x. Metadata is stripped out. I’m asking to myself if this is a feature or a bug. I have a Yamaha RX-V6A. Are there any issues with this avr?

    Thank you all! And enjoy!

    Hi rtl8812au users.

    There's a new rtl8812au driver in a recent LE9/Kodi18a1 test build, based on the work done by gordboy.

    The download details and initial feedback (working/stable AC connection) are here, and it would be really great to have more testing and feedback in order for us to make a more informed decision about switching to this new driver.

    Unfortunately this new driver does not support rtl8821au and some other chipsets that the older driver may have supported, so there could be some fallout but hopefully not too much.

    I'll start including this new v5.2.9 driver in future nightly LE9/Kodi 18 builds from tomorrow, Tuesday (#0718).

    Thank you, milhouse and gordboy.

    I'm testing the new driver. :) I can say it's more stable than the older one since the previous driver always frooze in a few minutes, in AC mode..

    I'll let you know if I have any issues.

    Mine was flaky as well on a pi2 with 8.0.1. I did put the following in a modprobe config file and rebooted:

    rpi3:~ # cat /etc/modprobe.d/8812au.conf
    options 8812au rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0 rtw_ips_mode=1 rtw_vht_enable=0 rtw_ht_enable=1

    This limits the wifi to n instead of ac, so max 150mb/s, but it is stable. Perhaps it will work for you and provide enough bandwidth in the less crowded 5ghz range?


    Thank you very much! Also 5Ghz band is working well now! So, is there a known bug on the ac protocol?

    Thanks for the replies. The issue occurs only using the 5Ghz band, if i connect using the 2.4Ghz band there are no issues!
    I'm lucky and I'm getting at least 50 mbit very stable on 2.4 so I can still use the stick. I got this stick as replacement for the internal RPi 3 WiFi since the built in antenna is very poor and cannot use power line.

    Hello,

    I'm getting problems on LibreELEC 8.0.0 with a Fenvi dongle based on rtl8812au chip.

    It seems to work fine but on playback of HD videos, after several minutes, the video freeze and playback stops. It's not a buffering problem, the playback is stopped and exits completely:

    The debug log reports:


    Is the speed to high to loose data on usb bus?

    The dongle as shown in dmesg:


    Any clue? Thank you in advance.
