Kikat - Wasser Firmware for Beelink R89

[no_spam_for_me]

Ha, boot from SD (Samsung EVO) works

[chrisarchon]

Hello.

Thank you Wasser for your great firmwares, without them I would have thrown my Tronsmart R28 out of the window.

I got an issue with the latest firmware.

I am using Plex and with the last firmware I can't direct play any video that has AC3 or DTS audio.

The plex server has to transcode the audio track. And if I force direct play from plex settings, it just plays the video without sound.

With previous versions of your firmware it worked fine so it must be something you changed in firmware 2.0.6.

I also have a request.

Geekbuing recently send me the new revision remote control for the Tronsmart R28 but it does not work correct with your firmware. Only button that is working is the "Volume decrease" and it acts like the "Power button".

Is there a way to make it work?

The remote control is this one:

edit: The latest official firmware from tronsmart works only with the new remote (the one in the photo) I don't know if that helps.

Installed 2.0.6 and played around with it for a couple of hours.

Didn't like the wallpaper as it looked wishy washy on my TV but that's just a personal preference.

I had 4 random reboots, which was very surprising.
The first was when I had Archos video cataloging in the background and running iPlayer in the fore.
When selecting a program to watch, the box rebooted.

No 1080p in Youtube in this version and I noticed that 720p had micro stutter, particularly when panning.
This is a video that demonstrates it.

It's not major but is noticeable.

When in MX Player, the back button doesn't work and I have to use the mouse right click button to come back to a list.
On one occasion, trying to go back using this method caused the box to reboot.
Doesn't seem to be an issue with other apps, so maybe an issue with MX Player.
Also found that MX player could show micro stutters and first noticed it with the Samsung DTS demo where the helicopter comes together from all the component parts.
When testing MX Player with all my different Jellyfish files, there was noticeable stutter with anything above 90mbps, where before it played everything pretty much flawlessly.
This was not the case with SPMC though, so may indicate issues with MX Player and nothing in the ROM.


There can be little lags in the UI, especially when pulling up a list of running apps to swipe away. It could often take 2 clicks to get it to come up.

SPMC worked as well as it did with 2.0.5.

Kodi Eisengard Alpha 1 works OK but SPMC is still better but no surprise there.

Cyberghost VPN works, so hopefully will other VPN's.

WiFi speeds seemed zippier to me.

The constant access of external drives is still there, so wondering if here was a setting to essentially put the USB to idle when not is use.

All in all, a great job as always Wasser.

it seems you downloaded the FW from google drive. The FW 2.0.6 from google drive has a issue with playing AC3 , DTS audio. Please download the FW from the 1.post and flash again

It should fix your problem

I do not understand why I have micro stuttering.?
With minix x7 I dont have this problems.
Maybe the problem is in my tv (lg model 2013).?

Yes that's the one I downloaded.

Good to here it is fixed.

Anything about the new revision of the remote control?

Wifi doesn't seem stable. The network disappears as it is out of range with 5ghz (AC), and the N- range isn't really going to my internet's actually speed which is 30mbps...it goes until 14mbps. AC goes up to 30 but it's very weak in signal and goes out of range.

Never had this issue before with any other rom. I've always used AC and had always great signal...

[chrisarchon]

I also noticed that the WiFi signal is low compared to previous versions.

With previous Roms I had full signal(router is in the same room) but with this ROM signal is at half.

But I didn't noticed any instability on the WiFi connection, at least not the few hours I used it last night.

Anyone tried 2.0.6 with a Pioneer AVR, is the audio working with hdmi?
