Lollipop - Wasser Firmware for Beelink R89

[slyger]

Hi, Thanks Wasser for this new firmware 3.0.2

My report :

-> fresh install
Then I just install Kodi 15.2 and spmc 15.0

I still get the same issue with DTS and passthrough:
kodi : some audio gap (every arroud 5s, very enoying)
spmc; big noise instead of sound track ! (unusable)

Both works without passtrough (but no 3D sound, stereo only)


does someone can play DTS with passtrough ?

You need to use Wasser's Kodi build posted on page 38 of this thread to get passthrough to work

sir wasser , i really love using rom 3.0.2 , especially the improvements on youtube , but i'm having a bit of discomfort with the video stutter on my stored .mkv files.
version 3.0.0 RC4 is stutter-free , but it doesn't have the youtube fixes as in version 3.0.2....
my question is ; if i will unpack version 3.0.0 RC4 using androidtool , which file (.img) should i use (extract) from it and flash it after flashing 3.0.2 to get the smooth video playback...?
and if ever i will do that , will it affect the improved youtube playback?
thanks a lot for the never ending help

Hi,

i can also confirm that i have the same audio problems. Updated from Wasser 2.0.9a to 3.0.2 with android tool.

I use audio over hdmi to a pioneer vsx-921.

in patched kodi 15.2 from the first post i get not sync audio to video and some sound artifacts (not really clicking bot something strange)
in spmc 15.0 only big noise or only stereo
im mx player all plays fine an video is sync to audio without sound artifacts

I tried with system settings default audio output and forced hdmi bitstream but no difference

would be nice if someone could help get this working

Use spdif for the audio and it will work. Use this too http://www.freak-tab.de/wasser/rk-ko...2-lollipop.apk

Here's a list of steps on how to get 3.0.2 to play video the best with Wasser Kodi that's worked for me and a few others. The solution below lets you have 5.1 DD and DTS passthrough.

1) Use Android Tool 2.3 to upgrade to http://www.freak-tab.de/wasser/wasse...-r89-rk3288.7z
2) Use Android Tool 2.3 to upgrade to 3.0.2 http://www.freak-tab.de/wasser/wasse...-rk3288_box.7z
3) Install Wasser Kodi http://www.freak-tab.de/wasser/rk-ko...2-lollipop.apk
4) Make sure you are using SPDIF output. wasser HDMI audio output has audio artifact problems
5) Go to Android Settings > Sound and select SPDIF Passthrough.
6) If the video isn't smooth try this. Go into Android settings > Display > HDMI and reduce the frame rate from 60 to 24.

Test out a video and let us know. So far this has worked on my Tronsmart R28 and Beelink R89 on Yamaha and Pioneer Elite receivers with Panasonic TVs.

using spdif passthrough;
- wasser kodi doesn't have the fit to screen mode (16:9)....
- rk kodi has that fit to screen option, but the audio artifacts occur during fast forward or backward (even after applying the scientifically-confusing-to-understand-why steps (so you just have to keep on playing the movie without any interruptions)....
thanks

Hello. Dualshock 4 does not work via bluetooth. Is there a solution?

Happy to hear that this worked out for you as well. I guess my dumb luck is at least a viable solution for now I'd still like to hear input from Wasser or someone else familiar with creating ROMS as to why this actually works!

HI ! Has anyone managed to get Tronsmart R28 Pro IR remote control to work with latest 3.02 ?
Not managing to assign Shift key in Mele F10 remote as Home button as well. Any ideas ?
thanks in advance

Nope. None of my beelink or tronsmart remotes work.

MX Player plays so well on this rom compared to any version of Kodi. I've just started using it until Kodi can get fixed. MX PLayer can even play VC1 files on this rom.

-yah , mxplayer plays so well (when it comes the picture quality ; crisp and vivid colors) , but versions 3.0.1 and 3.0.2 suffer micro stutters as compared to version 3.0.0 rc4.
-version 3.0.2 has also a perfect youtube playback
