R89-Hardware/Thermal/case issue feedback here

[clarkss12]

I modify something...will upload the update.zip..

Here is my test result:

Firstly,you should select the right option:


For spdif passthrough,select the second one..
For HDMI passthrough,select the third one..



Select all this audio passthrough options.


Then,

If not passthrough way,no Dolby/DTS can sound out by stock rkvideoplayer

If spdif passthrough, stock rkvideoplayer cant decode DD+ sound..but with xbmc is fine..
If HDMI passthrough,all seem fine..

Pls check it...I dont want push to OTA,just a test zip..

Here to download->update.zip

Put the update.zip to sd card or eMMC via usb OTG..then it will find it..

BTW,the HDMI 2.0 3180*2160 50/60Hz is also added,Talas ,pls check this.

I just flashed your update (September 4), still no sound from HDMI through Harmon Kardon receiver.

Okey,let's clarify the real situation.

1.Select Setting->Sound->Default Output, make your Receiver and TV the max volume,Play a normal video(No Dolby/DTS) via Stock RKvideoplayer/xbmc ,can it sound out?

2.Select Setting->Sound->HDMI Bitstream, make your Receiver and TV the max volume,Play a Dolby/DTS video via Stock RKvideoplayer/xbmc ,can it sound out 5.1?

Tried both of these suggestions, with my receiver volume maxed out, still no audio.
But on a side note, this update fixed the video problem I had with your 108k4 update.
So, video is great
Ethernet is great
When the audio through HDMI to A/V receiver is fixed, you will have a winner.

Unfortunately, I can't get my computer to connect to this box.

I tried an app to get the info you need. Here is the Dropbox link for my file. Hope it helps.

Unfortunately, I can't get my computer to connect to this box...

are you using the OTG-adapter you got with the box?
I recognized that mine doesn't really fits to the port (try to use it to recharge a remote (minix m1) but lost often the power if I touch the cable)...

Yes, I checked that it fit the OTG port ok, also I had another OTG adapter that I tired, still could not get it to work.

Not had time to test the new downloaded firware proparly but stock xbmc with hdmi arc transcoding enabled reciever says dolby with 5.1 sound but sound is there only 0.1 seconds every 1 seconds.

DTS is also wrongly shown as DOLBY on my reciever with transcoding enabled.

Without transcoding enabled sound is normal stereo and my reciever does not say dolby or dts.

Did not yet test with SPMC but the with 108 the same settings both HDMI and SDIF give hissing sound only. There is strange different behavior between sound in stock xbmc and spmc!

Both default and hdmi bitstream tested with same result.

EDIT:
SPMC now tested, transcoding enabled hissing sound both dolby and dts.
Transcoding not enabled dolby is normal stereo and dts gives hissing sound.

With stock xbmc MASHUP, DEMON88 1080p videos are not entirely smoth and that could be part of the reason why surround is not working proparly.

With xbmc get green screen when movie has played 10 minutes with some DEAMON88 (Mashup) for example Movie named Heatstroke.

With SPMC same videos runs much smother and conntinues to play after 10 minutes without problems.

Hope your time off is great oman!

I agree that the HDMI audio issue is the only really big issue remaining. On my Onkyo, I get no audio on HDMI passthrough with the patch installed.

No Passthrough in SPMC with latest firmware applied and my Pioneer AMP.

The behaviour is different this time: the receiver doesn't switches to the passthrough mode at all and there is no sound coming from speakers (before it was a static noise).
