[ROM] Khadas Vim OREO SCV1-ATV ( AndroidTV 8.0 ) - W.I.P.

[canbonbon]

Hi, good everything?

I had the same problem with passthrough sound in other ROM. I fixed with editing the build.prop.

Try this

Include this line
media.amplayer.boot_vol=0.2

Comment the line (insert # in start)
#ro.platform.has.tvuimode=true

good luck

Thanks for your suggestions but I am not able to edit the file. The file has "RW" permissions but when ES Explorer is not opening it for edit. Also as far as I know the build was not rooted so I am not even sure how to change the properties. Let me know if you have any suggestions. I will also try to reach out to SC and see if he can give some pointers. Thanks again.

Hello superceleron or anyone who has this build, what player do you use to play your movies? All the players I have tried play the movie Streched vertically. Well, all except Kodi. That is probably because Kodi has its own player inside or something. I have tried VLC, PLEX, BX Player, they all end up playing movies as if they are squished. Also, none of them can play AC3 movies. Codecs are not found, so that is another issue. Clearly something is up with the build. Are there any settings I can tweak? Not sure what else I can do except continue to use Kodi I guess.

Any thoughts or suggestions how to fix this?

Well i actually did a generic s905x2 android 9 build that works in many boxes, and give it to FT team and AMLogicTools dev!
About your problem, weird is should go to recovery always, are pressing the button when you connect the power?

Can you please provide the link to s905x2 build? I will try it and see how it goes. Thanks

[superceleron]

Thanks for the reply. Yes I do understand that you cannot share the code. That is fine. Hopefully someday you'd get time to work on the 9.0 build for the rest of us. Eagerly awaiting for that. Thanks again for all your help.

SC, I had another quick question. My box no longer goes into recovery mode I get the AndroidTV by Superceleron splash screen and then it boots into Android (dancing circles). It used to go into recovery by pressing the reset pin in the back. Not sure if that has gone bad or if there is something about your img that does not allow it to go into recovery. Let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks as usual.

[canbonbon]

I do have it, but i cant share it or share any of the builds i do on it... my work policies....!

Thanks Superceleron. I went on AML website but could not find any link to the 9.0 code. But I found this. See if it helps you in anyway.

cant really help you that, aml is dropping 8.0... due to lots of bugs and anyway theirs 9.0 for that chip, just wait for khadas to add it to is github!

Hello Superceleron, sadly I am having issues in this ROM because it does not play 1920 x 800 (or 900) files properly in Plex App. Instead of adding a black bar on the top and bottom as it does on other ROMs, it zooms/squishes the movie vertically and tries to fill the screen. So its kinda doing auto zoom. However, some moves that 1920x1040 play just fine, but majority don't. While I agree its probably a format issue in that App because the files work fine in Kodi. I have reached out to Plex App creators too, but they think its the Android because the same app works fine if I use a different Oreo 8,.0. I was wondering if you had any suggestions?

Thanks for replay me back.
I look into and I hope I can figure the way to do it
