Hello,

Thank you for this firmware.
Should I download all .img files or just the last one "MULTI_Z6BASED_ATV10.7_Discontinued.img" please?

I tried all the different colour space settings available over the weekend and nothing solved the problem.

Thank you for trying though.

Do you have the kodi build.prop fix enabled in your firmware? Remarking it out or enabling it may correct your issues.

I am running a modded kernel, and have found that I cannot use advanced features like I can with stock. Once I enable all the developer debug tweaks in my build.prop, playback is not so crisp.

I am now playing around with stockish build.prop, light on the mods. Added Google dns, and basic known and required build.prop edits for fixes with playback.

I find unless you have a true 4K TV, keep your settings to 444 8bit, and YUV. If your set to 422 color space, your opening a can of worms, as content should be 444. You may be forcing the box to convert from 444 to 442, and having the TV convert back to 444 internally, depending on its capabilities and settings.

Try changing the colour space settings to 420 8bit or RGB in display settings in Android.

This ROM has colour space settings unlike beelink based rom it might be that all I can think of. If I get time I will test with those apps on weekend

Just to clarify....
The problem is not with the AMCODEC itself. When I get a file to play with AMCODEC enabled, it plays flawlessly.
The problem is with selecting the output resolution and refresh rate.

When I go into SPMC, CEMC or FTMC, it starts up and then I get a black screen.
Then I press the power button to let it sleep.
Press it again and the box is on and in SPMC
When I check the output resolution, it is on 720p@60Hz
When I change the output resolution to 4k I get a black screen again.
sleep cycle again and it asks me to save settings - yes.
with 4k it limits refresh rate to 30Hz.
Again it is not an HDMI problem as I get 4k@60Hz on other Roms.

Every time with startup of one of these programs I get black screen.

Kodi 17 playback is good, but just stutters enouph to be irritating.

Anyone else has this problem?

No worries, I know your not complaining. I'm just going off the top of my head as I no longer use the box anymore.

I've only ever used Kodi and changes where actually made for amcodec to be supported that people had asked for and reported working, sure people mentioned another fork as well that worked good?

With Kodi you need to enable amcodec from Kodi settings but I can't remember exactly how as I moved away from using it long ago, should be the same for the forks.

Maybe someone else who uses these apps can help?

4k@60Hz works fine for me too on kodi, Mx player and VLC, but the problem lies with all the media centres using AMCODEC like SPMC, FTMC and CEMC
On stock firmware it works 4k@60HZ
On this FW it limits the refresh rate to 30Hz when I try to set it.
The problem was the stuttering of kodi most firmwares, but I installed MyGica MC 17.1 which works almost perfect. Just minor stutters.
I'm not complaining at all, as I do LOVE your ROM. Just stating a problem.

Just to add... Kodi performance is much better on your ROM then any other Rom that I have tested to date.


H96 Pro 3Gb/16Gb DDR3

EDIT:
I think the reason for the black screen is because of the refresh rate limitation?

That must be something with the apps or even your TV as 4k@60hz works fine on my Samsung TV and Phillips TV using Kodi / YouTube / Mx player

Are you sure your TV is hdmi 2.0? as 1.4 is limited to 4k@30hz

Hello,

Can i flash this rom in one newer GT1 Ultimate Box (like alvatech rom)?

ps: My box have fake ram...

Thanks

Yes the real amount of ram will just show (2GB)

[tillaz87]

Apologies... I am referring to this

Only usb camera from that quote is a knowing issue (Android TV does not support it by default)

[tillaz87]

Has anyone tried different roms? I can conclude that V10.6 and V10.7 both give black screen on 4k, and limits the refresh rate to 30Hz when selecting 2160p in SPMC, FTMC and CEMC

Apologies... I am referring to this

BTW, Thank you tillaz87 for the great ROM!

[Nexus_ZA]

if you could try 10.6/5/4/3 and find it working I would look into it

No, this box wont ever have widevine L1 or Google certification for that you need to buy another box like a mi cool that has widevine L1.

tillaz87 Thanks! That's very unfortunate.
