Kikat - Wasser Firmware for Beelink R89

[mo123]

Ok, I reinstalled your 2.0.9a again, strange thing, the date stamp was the same as the one I installed yesterday, but the file size was different. With the other firmware, SPMC kept crashing on me, now it works fine, and no more audio "hickups" (problem solved). I still can't get the MX player to play with audio, it still says AC3 format not supported, but I don't use it that way anyway. The only thing that doesn't work now, is my stock IR remote, but not really a big deal for me.

From my few test, this is by far the best firmware for my Beelink R89 8gig version. Excellent job. beers to come, thanks

You have to install a custom codec for MXPLayer to use AC3 codec.

Ok, thanks MO, strange that I have never had to do that on any of my other roms or devices....

Hello wasser.
Can you make HDMI screen flicker patch?
For those who have screen flickering,as you did for Minix x7.

When hardware can decode audio stream then it isn't necessary. It was like that in first RK3288 ROMs and it just came back with newest firmwares like Wasser's 2.0.9.

After using the new 2.0.9a rom , i have a problem with the display resolution in HDMI (1080p/60hz),
the box display area is over my tv screen and cause something hidden or show incomplete ,

Change Screen scaling in Settings->Display->Screen Scale.

the 2.0.9a fixed this regression. DTS/AC3 format decode works correctly.

Go to settings/display/screen scale. There you can adjust your screen size.

You can flash it again with 2.0.9.

If you really get stuck and can't get it back into flash mode which my video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9lLJirKEIQ

Could you please check out this rom http://freaktab.com/forum/tv-player-...326#post499326

It think it has perfect playback so maybe you can use/alter some files from that rom and add it on your rom for even better playback?

Thanks!

Thanks

i'm not sure why this rom has perfect playback. I played around with this firmware and found a lot of issues in playback.
for Example:

• AC3 format can not be played
• video stutter
• google play movie doesn't work
• google play music silent issue
• and more ....

What i really like to hear and comments what is better in this firmware and what work in this fw and not work in my firmware. Such feedbacks are important for me to improve the FW. Does the The random audio mute issue appear in this rom?

It doesn't help me if just only tell me it has perfect playback!

I really want to fix the random audio mute issue, but somehow i really cannot reproduce this issue. Without a reproduceable testcase it's not possible to debug and fix it!

So please try to find a reproduceable testcase so i can reproduce it!

Thanks

Of course, i work on it! I ve give you (previous message) a first log (syslog app). Format is correct for you?

I use 2.09a firmware, OC kernel, standard HMDI sound, SPMC 14.2, tronsmart TS1 flymouse.
Mute issue comes a lot with last firmware....

You're right my bad.

I only tested in SPMC.
What i'm seeing in chameleon firmware is a smoother framerate / less judder (not stutter) in SPMC, especially in panning scenes. In your rom i see some minimal judder in panning scenes.
I do not have to use the option "adjust display refresh rate"and "sync to display". I need to enable this in your rom. Not really a problem, but it is a difference. I'd rather keep it off .

As of hw acceleration, in your rom for best playback i use libstagefright OR mediacodec. RKlibstagefright causes artifacts.
In chameleon i can keep RKlibstagefright, libstagefright and mediacodec enabled without problems.

I did not see the random audio mute issue yet on this rom. If i see it i will report.

There are some programs like volume lock that keep the audio at 100 procent at all times, maybe you can implement that as a workaround? You will see the volume slider indicator though when it tries to mute, but i think that is hideable too.

I hope this helps a little more.

Thanks.
