[ROM] XTMOD-ATV X96 Max - GT1 and some U211 devices - S905X2 Android 8.1 [Android TV]

Xannytech;
Why on this ROM X96 Max 4/32 V 4.0 CPU is limited to 1800Ghz, a of ROM X96 Max 4/32 V 3.0 CPU = 1908Ghz

It's just cosmetic, Kernel has the same settings and cpu governor is on Performance as it was on V3, what is hugely different is the dtb, users do not know there are two different type of memory used on these device so i used a different base rom the producer gave to me on this firmware as per Amlogic request they fixed the cosmetic issue 1908 vs 1800 (real clock).
Anyway don't be rude to other users fro stupid matters please

Use v3 then , man!!!!

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

Shortly when my work on standard fws will finish i'll post and updated ATv version for X96 Max 2Gb version to fix some little bugs like ATv remote unfuncional.

The purpose was just: did anybody try? I wasn't willing to justify myself a whole page

Personally i didnt try so....

"Unmature" often means final at Amlogic's unfortunately, so let's assume all depends on hardware and refocus the debate on initial thought: do they lie on video decoder capability, the same they're used to lie on CPU frequency? From what I tried, no h264@4k above 25fps plays correctly (->frame skipping) when up to 30fps is expected.

Then i cant find anything to say to you, if you tried and saw this incident, you are right. It isnt a good PR to lie to consumers

I mention cpu intensive as hard to decode, the horsepower needed, if a gpu has hardware acceleration it brings up the load.h265 is a newer codec that can code a video with less data as the same quality as h264. But is harder to decode. I dont know what is the reality on this soc , i couldn't try because my box was broken and i wait my new box. But plainly, it is abnormal that a soc can playback h265 4k video without problem but h264 problematic. May be the problem is with the unmature Amlogic source codes?

OK. How about trying?
CPU itself is only able to do software decoding (you know 4K slideshow?), and video decoder (aka "hw acceleration") only does what it's designed for, independently of any proverbial "who can do more can do less"

FYI, specs:

h265 is more cpu intensive,if it can playback that, would be no problem h264 codec

h265 yeah, but only 30fps for h264/4k and it doesn't play correctly anyway, at least that's why I'm asking if somebody else noticed problem

[niki7989]

Do you see differences 1.8 ghz vs 1.9 ghz?Relax firmwere run fine I think it can't work faster....

YES

[zoelechat]

only 30FPS? not 60FPS? S905x2 shall give 60FPS @4k, no?
