Hi Mo ,

i think tonight i can send you the RK3368 Files back to see if all is translated good , i really hope .

Why you not only make a system.img with it , that i can flash and control it on my Device , before it will be used.

have a nice Day

Hi Mo ,

i restored all my Apps on my UT4 and it looks like the Time (only the Time) comes back if you set the Date to 2017 ,

Date is still wrong. 1.1 did both after that.

After that i tried NTPSync but it failed then i activated "Automatic Date&Time" and the right Time came up.

A Test before that "Automatic Date&Time" changed it did not work.So Date&Time it is not fully debugged.

Translations are nearly ready for sending back.

have a nice Day

The Beelink, Tronsmart R68 devices are very different(hardware) and for some reason their firmware don't work well or can't boot on HPH or Ugoos devices, so not recommended to try that.

Same horrible noise.
libffmpeg.so doesn't work for DTS HD / DD T HD.
Wasser R68 MM Does not yet handle HD sound.

I thought so.
The R68 MM firmware is a lot older than mine and have the same HD audio problem.

Strange thing is on the HPH RK3229 MM firmware, HD Audio all work with no problems but RK3229 devices use different sound codecs.
Unfortunately no one has released updated RK3368 MM firmware or SDK updates.
Geekbox just took a 'bye bye users' we leave you with our last broken MM code, but thanks for your money.
Now we can only wait for Firefly to release the new code from RK to fix all the RK3368 problems and backport it.
Maybe Jide can also help with future Nougat firmware that they develop for RK3368 and it can be used for other devices perhaps.
Lollipop firmware is still recommended to have working HD Audio.

Yup pretty much sums up my thoughts on rk route.

... and we won't benefit much from Nougat if at all even if it hits RK3368 - because RK completely reworked its rendering engine to use the new MPP engine in RK3328 and such, and their Nougat SDK is tailored towards that and RKCodec - with mediacodec pretty much an after thought.

Doom and gloom, I know; but try if I could, no amount of sugar can put a glaze on this mess. . .

The Beelink February update is the only RK3368 build that has correctly functioning standards compliant HD audio, but it has very bad general performance and especially terrible video performance. I'm like a broken record, but chalk that up to RK's ridiculous RKCodec fantasy....

EDIT: just for info, I tried everything I could on my end to correct the performance/video playback issues while maintaining the IEC audio standards, I know exactly which files to modify/alter, but it was to no avail (you either get proper video playback or standards compliant audio but not both) with current sources. I stress, again, that contrary to what some might think, the January Lollipop sources outperform the existing MM SDK by quite a bit.

I HIGHLY doubt RK is ever going to offer a fully functional, high performing, standards compliant MM build. I was hopeful, but it just doesn't look good unless Nougat drops and saves the day.

It's very strange.
Users with SPDIF pass-through say everything works, but they probably only use DTS, AC3.
So it must just be HDMI pass-through with HD Audio(DTSHD, DTSHD MA, TrueHD) that give the noise?
The kernel is almost the same as the Lollipop one and it still doesn't work.
I will try one or two more things and then give up.

What happens when you play the HD Audio videos in 'Video' player instead of Kodi?
This will probably have no effect but try replacing /system/libffmpeg.so with file from hereÂ*https://github.com/JamesLinEngineer/...brkffplayer.so
Must root from Accessibility Options first to get access to replace the file. Do it in MiXplorer file manager.

Can Wasser R68 MM firmware boot on your device?
Please test if HDMI pass-through is working correctly in that ROM also if possible.

This might be out of topic .

No, but it will work in SPMC but that is based on Kodi 16.1
