Kikat - Wasser Firmware for Beelink R89

[runonur]

Can someone help me to get rid of audio dropouts when playing a movie? I use Wasser v2.0.8 with HDMI Passthrough. The dropouts happens with all apps(Youtube, SPMC, Spotify, etc.) How often it happen is very random, sometimes it is every 20-30s and sometimes I can watch a full movie without getting a dropout. Is this occurring for others too? Is it better to use SPDIF than HDMI Passthrough?

It is the same thing (regarding SPDIF and HDMI passthrough).
The only way to get rid of them is to set your HDMI to 24fps and in SPMC disable passthrough.

"green/purple-ish display issues with some TV"
OpenHour fix this in there firmware. Is it possible to fix this in your Wasser Firmware??? wasser

I have this issue with my philips tv too. Only stock firmware runs but not as clean as wassers firmware. I think it's hdmi handshake problem?

Hello Bluesmanuk,

Do You have a link to where you bought your good cable ??

Is it a HDMI 2.0 cable ??

It was bought from a local store and was a High Speed Cable with ethernet.

I would not suggest that anybody go out any buy new cables as I know of no specific logic why this has worked.

Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath. It will go a couple of days without any drops, and then it will randomly drop-out 5 times over the course of a movie (regardless of what the volume is set at). It is extremely annoying, especially since it always seems to happen at the most important part of the movie (climax).

I wondered that, so I replaced the HDMI cable with the one that I was using when having constant dropouts and they appeared on a continual basis again.

Gone back to the setup that shows none so far and after 8 hours of use, no dropouts at all.

The last bit made me giggle, dirty mind, sorry :P

With regards to the sound dropping out issue, I discovered something.

When using 2.08 I found that I was getting frequent dropouts, where before it was a very rare thing.

Then I remembered that I had moved furniture around and had plugged a different HDMI cable in to the box/TV afterwards.

I changed the cable back again and since then I have had no dropouts at all.

As information to you guys I don't know does this happen to other people here, firmware 2.0.6-2.0.7-2.0.8 it installs perfectly but freezes after boot on my device Tronsmart Orion R28 Meta.

For flashing the image I'm using Linux/Ubuntu with upgrade_tool (I don't have a windows pc)
step 1.
# upgrade_tool lf
Lower Format Device,total(1),current(0)
Lower Format Device OK.
step 2.
# upgrade_tool uf Wasser...firmware.img

Could be that the issue is at step 1 when I do low level format the nand flash .... it looks like it is not formatting...because when using this tool on other devices such as Minix I had different numbers:
Lower Format Device,total(2048),current(2044)
Lower Format Device OK

Did anybody had this issue on their devices ??? do you have any recommendations ??

Thank you,

The 2.0.8 works well and smooth on my Tronsmart Orion R28 Meta. But ich have the Problem that after a few minutes the colors change to green and the complete screen looks green. After one minute or more the color is normal, or i disconnect and connect the hdmi cable.
Is it a firmware problem or hardware issue?

[BTR11]

I agree. It seems like it's a max audio bug that causes it.

Sorry to report that with the android audio volume set to medium, I had today again the mute audio bug during playing YouTube content; so this is not the solution, may be setting the volumen to max increase the ocurrence but this is not the ultimate cause of this audio mute bug.

[amclean123]

Maybe a interim solution is to install 'Volume Locker' from play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...b.volumelocker to prevent use of max volume

Thank you! Or Volume Limit would work too.
