Stock Firmware - Beelink S82/M8 - MXIII 1/2G - Official FW Releases from Beelink - user feedback thread

[oman]

Hello Oman,

After fews day with your last ROM, i can say it's very stable, no reboot or freeze
2 problems, i ve noted:

1/ very strange problem with MX player, Moboplayer, ... i can't change voice track (for multi tracks sound movies). I can just play movie with first track. If choose second track, i hear 2 tracks in same time!
Of course, i check a lot of movies... mainly mkv multi movie.
FYI, i ve same behavior with Leolas v1.1 ROM.

2/ It seems screen saver feature is broken. My box fall in deep sleep after few minutes when i switch on screensaver.

Thx for your job, and your support

1.Yes ,U are right,I test it just now..but with stock 4kplayer,it's ok..I dont know how to fix this right now,should contact with the guy who develop mxplayer.

2.I didnt meet the problem you describe..

Has anyone successfully installed this on a OTT 4k M8?

[fikhl]

Okay, I will try, when I am back home (next week).
Does this mean, that all official XBMC releases won't work with 108k4 and 720p only TVs?

What's about the 720p patch/fix from Finless?
Is this also available for 108k4?

Had the same problem with all the official XBMC versions. Use the Oman version (13.1) instead on the first page of this topic. Works great.

How about this stane version of XBMC 13.1? Any improvements over oman's?

I have been running Stane Xbmc for 2 days. All is really great running finless 1.8 so far no issue with Xbmc closing. I read that Stane implemented MX player so thats what peaked my curiosity.

Could you please check if there is the option to bitstream DTS HD/Dolby TrueHD?

You should go to Settings/Audio/Enable Passthrough/DTS HD or TrueHD capable receiver. It's only accessible in "Expert" level settings.

Thanks!

All you have is Dolby Digital (AC3) capable receiver
-Enable Dolby Digital transcoding
DTS capable receiver

I'm on 105k4, XBMC 13.1 and there's no option to enable passthrough for HD audio formats. I wanna know if it's available on other ROMs or simply other xbmc versions.

Edit: So the DTS HD passthrough is still missing.

Also, I currently don't have the option to "Enable Dolby Digital transcoding" on my device. Useful for transcoding AAC 5.1 audio tracks to DD 5.1. Otherwise they're downmixed to stereo.

Thank you tampametal. You just saved me from uninstalling/re-installing/re-building XBMC!

Oh ok I see enable Passthrough in SPMC

last i checked spmc was for rockchip. stanes is working fantastic for most. under settings in the default confluence skin hover over where it says basic settings or standard settings (not near box right now) and click till it says expert and more settings will appear.

Channel switching not working on pvr-vnsi addon with had channels

This is my first post here! Many thanks for your ROM! But this thread is about feedback. I have some issues:

I have problems in switching channels in pvr-vnsi addon, when the channel to be selected is a 720p or 1080i channel. In SD TV it is working very well. VDR is running under Ubuntu on a server and has the plugin vnsiserver Versicon 5 installed.
If I start-up the addon and select an Hd channel, it is immiately showing the channel, but when switching to another one via the up and down key it is starting buffering for 100%, which takes a long time and when at 100% I can here the sound, but no vidoe. Just a black screen. Switching back to teh original channel is working.
Closing live -TV and going back and selecting the desired channel is working switch is again not working.

All works like a cham, when I connect via my xbmc on rasberry pi or on ubuntu client to the server with Gotham 13.1.
So it seems to be an issue with the current implementation.

Beside that issue the rom works very well for me.
The only other thing I can not do is to play 3D (mvc) DB mkv rips. But I do not know if this is possible with any android stick so far, even though it is advertised.

[no_spam_for_me]

Maybe it is a caching / buffering problem...
Do you know the 'advancedsettings.xml' ?
Have a look at http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title...he_video_cache
You have to place it at
Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata

Sample

<advancedsettings>
  <network>
    <buffermode>1</buffermode>
    <readbufferfactor>3</readbufferfactor>
    <cachemembuffersize>157286400</cachemembuffersize>
    <curlclienttimeout>45</curlclienttimeout>
  </network>
</advancedsettings>

Maybe (I never try it), set the <cachemembuffersize> near zero (not zero) helps ???

Stane uses MX player correct?

Webview

Ok i am trying to understand this program. I clicked on the video link and played good birds whale fish one right? Plays perfect with stock player. so what is the need of the add on... there are players for the app but what app they make a few of them on that site? just trying to understand the need and what it does is all> If it plays in the browser then wouldnt it be a app issue is what i am getting at here is all.


Scooter

If you search webview in google play and download a browser based on webview and try to run a video or play a video everyone of those crash. I used videojs.com for an example. I used stock and finless roms. I make my own signage app that runs on webview and almost every amlogic device i have had come to me never works or crashes because of this. Im not the only one, i have seen it come across stack overflow a few times as well. Most of us in the digital sigange world don't use amlogic due to that issue. It would be nice if someone would provide a fix or at least figure out what keeps it from crashing apps. I love the device and know what it can do but this one thing keeps this device from being better than any rockchip device we use. It works on rockchip without issues so can't be a coding problem on the apps.

"Enable Dolby Digital transcoding" appears only when you select 2 channels... and HDMI passthrough is on.

How many channels do you have selected?

Something I've always wondered...
I run optical to receiver which is latest DTS and all. Do I still select 2.0, 5.1, 7.1 or what?

Thanks
