Install a second launcher then disable the stock one using titaniumbackup

Yeah that's what I did....using ADW Launcher. Install ADW Launcher and uninstall stock Launcher with ES file explorer...works very good

I'll try you know freetime permitting, but normally i need intensive testing and users like you can help me, now try to rename the module (the one promising but never used) giving to it the standard and used name module, probably nothing change but what we have to check is Vendor/etc/mediacodec settings maybe can help,
Anyway i don't mind to try to fix together things you know
My only problem it's my actual RL my father is very sick so sometimes i got no time to follow this thread or reply in PM nothing more. My personal amlogic 8.1 kitchen it's very efficent and fast to let me compile things in few minutes, so if we got the right idea no problem.

Well, module filename doesn't matter (can call them 1 2 3.ko), it's just using what's available for source codec. Leaving "promising" 4k2k alone results in... software decoding! (where the 2 other modules left alone are doing at least "something", one correctly other not).
I also assume the "faulty" mh264 is there for a reason (seems to mean multi-h264), maybe used in some scenario I didn't try (multiple streams? PIP or I don't know...) therefore probably not a solution to just ignore it.
Already tried looots of stuff I don't remember all before reporting, and I thought you'd maybe have some more precise idea. Gotta dig more xml and so on (hoping it's not matter of buggy sourcecode or simply not capable hw!)
No problem I can test stuff if needed, when you want/can, not waiting after Amlogic to correctly play movies anyway, fortunately

Not that far to be that old either... Anyway, you missed the serious part of my post (because of age maybe? ). Let me explain current state of things if you don't mind:
-Out of the box, no h264@4k movie will play correctly (actually, say 10% tries hw decoding is triggered, randomly!)
-Faulty decoder looks to be amvdec_mh264 and getting rid of it (preventing module insertion) reliably fixes h264@4k up to 24/25fps by defaulting to amvdec_h264. Playback of 30fps remains crappy though (-> frame skipping).
-Your ROMs (only) are containing an amvdec_h264_4k2k module, sounds promising especially given issue, but unfortunately it's never used, in no case at all. What about it?

Better fix core issues before supporting more devices imho

A good orientation for v5

Anyway mate i'm 50Yo, if i ask for donations is because i'd like to support more devices, and so i'll got a excuse with my wife to buy more, "My dear, you know my users asked me"

How to replace the default luncher of the rom with atv luncher pro ?

You should download and flash the other firmware in the other thread this is an Android Tv Firmware.

[Xannytech]

Then if replies here only have to be "your ROM is the best" with money attached, just tell it

probably it's better to not reply

I'm not blaming you and don't worry I've never expected a shit from that box I had as (poisoned) gift.
I wasn't talking about h265 nor encoding, but playback of h264 4k@30fps as stated several times above (some people hardly understand), you may check brochure and real life then

i got a stone hit by my head , it seems unbeleivable that a machine having h265 support better than h264.

You know they're chinese and they do theyr business, i think there is a reason Nvidia Shield cost 10 times more than these boxes.
Amlogic official specs are different, they do not claim 30fps, they wrote on cpu specs, h265 4kp75 10bit decoding, they wrote h264 1080/60p ENCODING not decoding, they wrote 1.8ghz frequency, but not sure i just read a brochure.
Anyway i do not work for them , so it's not my business, i just try to fix and arrange these cheap boxes for the users sake.
My total earnings in 6 months with S905X2, thanks of some recents donations it's about 25$, so i can affirm i do an i'll do this work for free, and my work it's not just "cosmetic"

Thanks for your dedication Xanny.

Got it. Claim 2Ghz/30fps and get only 1.8Ghz/24fps are only "specs cosmetics". Now reassured

[metabesk]

And what is the logic of using the old version?
My question was not about you , man!!!!

You asked 3 times the same question, it's clear that xanny dont have an answer for you?
