[XBMC] FrequencySwitcher addon for Amlogic S802

[adamanth]

I have amended the FrequencySwitcher addon posted on MINIX forum to remove the check whether it is MINIX device or not so now it should work for every Amlogic S802 device - tested so far on M8N with JustMe 1.2 ROM and Tronsmart Vega S89 with the latest official rooted ROM.

It is required to grant the write permissions to /sys/class/display/mode file like

#!/system/bin/sh
chmod 666 /sys/class/display/mode

script.video.fswitch131mod.zip

First THX

I think, if they use the same directory (/sys/class/display/mode) it will also work at the S805 and S812

For those who don't know the switcher:

This is a Frequency Switcher.
It currently supports switching manually (via mapped key) or automatically between refresh rates for these resolutions:
- 1080p - 24hz, 50hz and 60hz
- 720p - 50hz and 60hz
There is a settings page to configure the frequency that specific source framerates automatically switch to.
:
Installation instructions:
In XBMC:
- Programs
- Get More...
- ..
- ..
- Install from zip file
- select the downloaded (unextracted) .zip file

Auto-switching is not enabled by default. You will need to configure first then restart XBMC.

The configuration menu can be found under Programs - Addons - Frequency Switcher.
Open via OK on the remote, Enter on a keyboard, or Left Click on mouse (not via the Context menu - Addon settings).

A BIG THX to jk-nz for his hard work at the original version!

Tested. Works on Tronsmart S89 109k4 ROM with permission change

chmod 666 /sys/class/display/mode

If on next boot permission is restored to default – edit this file /system/bin/set_display_mode.sh and set permissions there. At the end of file add this line, save and restart your device:

chmod 666 /sys/class/display/mode

This thread should be pinned after thread title correction. Change S809 to S802.

I made this change to my last ROM in the file init.amlogic.rc and ueventd.amlogic.rc in boot.img.

So custom ROMs should add this permission from now on.

This has also been in the last 2 Minix ROMs along with these other changes to support XBMC

orion pro stock

/sys/class/display/mode

No such file on the tronsmart orion pro, sadly, I only see

display0.HDMI
display0.TV
display0.YPbPr
u0_a75@rk3288:/sys/class/display $

Stock ROM

Thanks

Is the 'tronsmart orion pro' an Amlogic device? I don't think so
RockChip KK/kernel use another structure...

I have no idea if we will see him back at FT
I ask him, during he was online, to edit the thread-tile but he ignores it...

I think it will be OK if you use it at your rom, because he also only took it from another one (and remove the check wasn't really difficult) ...

Yep, it is not a rocket since to remove these checks ) No objections from my side to include this script to whatever you want )

I modified this script a while back but ended up not using it due to the delay experienced every few seconds. I believe the delay is caused by a non functioning video clock sync in XBMC (The missed frames need to catchup). This script works on MINIX because they had a special version of XBMC.
