That's interesting... The remote from the UT4 looks very familiar...

[gefattern]

Hi Mo ,

flashed it , all looks good for the first impressions , but if i Shutdown (PowerOff) the Device is still on , the Fan still runs & the blue Light too .

This Bug already exist in your latest Rom 1.3 / 9April (i reported) on 1.2 and before not , so something must be changed between this two Versions ???

So i must use 1.2 with system.img of your latest UT4 Rom , solong this Bug is not fixed , otherwise i always had to pull the Power cord for PowerOff .

That is not so nice for daily use .

have a nice Day

Hi Mo once more ,

first i tried to flash the boot.img of your 1.2 Rom and i have to report that this already was enough to eleminate the PowerOff Bug .

I do not know what is changed , but u , so it would be nice if u can make a new Version with the boot.img of 1.2 , or whatever it was .

So that this Bug is gone .

hope it helps

once more

nice Day

Kodi 17 introduced a new audio API for pass-through sound as implemented by Google in Nougat and backported by some manufacturers to Lollipop/Marshmallow.
This Marshmallow firmware also implements it for Kodi 17.1 and other Kodi 16.1 variants like RKMC/FTMC as it was backported.

ENCODING_IEC61937
Audio data format: compressed audio wrapped in PCM for HDMI or S/PDIF passthrough. IEC61937 uses a stereo stream of 16-bit samples as the wrapper. So the channel mask for the track must be CHANNEL_OUT_STEREO. Data should be written to the stream in a short[] array. If the data is written in a byte[] array then there may be endian problems on some platforms when converting to short internally.

https://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/AudioFormat.html#ENCODING_AC3

To test if HD Audio pass-through is working correctly as it should and supported on your device
1. Install Kodi 17 and enable the HD Audio pass-through settings
2. Enable HDMI Bitstream in the Settings app on your device.
3. HD Audio should just work.
4. Check Kodi 17's log for more information
The important part is - AESinkAUDIOTrack: Using IEC PT mode to say it is working correctly and supported on your device.
The blue highlighted lines are important and should match.

Hi Mo ,

first the Rom works great , it is fluid , but it looks like , that some Games are making

Probs , several times i had a prob with DeathTrigger2 and PixelStrike the Games

did not react correct on Input and the "not react" Message pop up .

Dont know , can i test it too if my Audio works in "HDMI Passthrough" Mode ???

i am connected by HDMI Switch to TV & TV is connected by "optical" Wire to my

Soundsystem with 1Bass/1Center/Left&Right Box .

In my UT3 Logs always stands something with PCM 16bit , Samplerate , MHz .....

if i listen to Music .


have a nice Day

Hello! can I use this rom without problems in a Tronsmart Orion R68 meta?

[gefattern]

Hi mglarosa ,

u can try , but always backup your data .

have a nice Day

gefattern

[mo123]

I'll see if I can make a small update before the end of the week and upload it.
There are some bugs I found and it takes a lot of time reflashing and testing to see if a problem is solved.

[gefattern]

Hi Mo ,

nice to hear , can u please change "Reboot" with "Neustarten" in the stock Bootmenu .

The FW runs really really good , until now only "DeathTrigger2" makes some Problems ,

after i played a first Mission and go back to Menu the Game react not like it must .

The input hangs and react slow , but if the Rom or the Game makes Problems , i can not say .

What about a working Equalizer , the BassBoost is a little to hard , can this be changed

with a Equalizer ???

Really good work Mo , have a nice Day .
