UT1 Kernel

[lokster]

this setup is really good so far and if this is the stock kernel then surround sound should play but it doesn't unless it's beyond XBMC Is anyone else not using Beyond XBMC getting surround sound

[SLHQC]

I have not had any sound issue like you are having...

I do agree with you on the 1080P movies...where Wasser's kernel-1080p-ut1 is better...

The reboot issue seem to be gone...

It is one step closer...also looking forward to Wasser latest Rom...

Agreed, but unfortunately wasser's last kernel wasn't as stable. I'm still getting the no sound at start up thing. It is a nuisance having to go into the settings to toggle the sound driver at each start up but I'll live with it until the next big thing comes along...

[lokster]

I haven't had the time to play much but on the UT1 everything is smooth so far even VEVO was smooth but I am sure wasser will come thru.

I will pay more tomorrow and see if the surround sound plays on this one and my other box

[southpole]

Still getting that occasional no-sound phenomenon where I have to cycle the output devices setting after booting up the unit...

Plus, now that I have had a chance to throw a few more 1080p movies at it, I find that with some, it isn't 100% smooth. It's a bit juddery, particularly during slow panning shots. Doesn't happen with 720p stuff... but I can live with that for now.

Still, haven't had a freeze/reboot at all on this combo. It'd be nice if someone with a bigger brain than me could use the Finless NeoX7 rom and this kernel as a starting point for a slick dedicated UT1 package...

Looking forward to seeing what wasser comes up with in his latest recipe.

It is not the same kernel...

Test the ethernet speed and wifi to Riley's you will see...

It maybe close too it..

southpole

Hmmm... he based his ROM and kernel on the November firmware release and hasnt touched the kernel. Anyway, this one is based on the December firmware apparently. Has that been officially released?

[lokster]

are you guys using the minx Finless 1.8? if so I wonder how quickshot v2 with a different kernel work on the UT1

[southpole]

guys, isn't that exactly the same kernel as Riley's? He mentioned he is using stock and made no modifications, also the are identical in size...

And btw, how did you guys get surround to work? I tested 1.6, 1.8 and various kernels and it never works...

I tried this kernal with wasser 1.24. Ethernet does not work. Wifi works, but on a speed test my speed it reduced from 5mb to 2.4mb.

Reflashed with finless 1.8 and this kernel and all good so far. Ethernet and Wifi all good..

I had a feeling it was the same kernel. In any case it or very stable.

Surround has to be supported by the app l think... The stick video player does, as does plex. If I recall correctly xbmc doors also but I'm not a fan of it and it is a bit flaky so I haven't really used it much.

Good to hear and thanks for the feed back...

Also happy with the UT1...

Cheers

Ah, cool. Still working well here. I'm 99% happy with my UT1 now. If only I could get decent streaming quality on Netflix it would be 100%. Netflix needs to get their cat together and provide an app that's optimised for large screens.

I wish I could cook....one day

I had a new box that would reboot shortly after playing a video...thought it was a hardware issue...

They send me new firmware image, the 12 13...which corrected the issue...

I depackage the image which is where the kernel is from...stock kernel

I have to thank everyone for this...love to test and learn...
