T-R42 - wasser firmware - JB Android 4.2.2

[klibido]

clockwork recover was not included as it not working wasser is trying to fix it as for av out did you set up correctly mine works you need to set up pal/nstc depending on your country and tv
screen going blank i have not noticed but i am getting audio cut out through hdmi also power button is trying to be fixed apart from that it's a rock solid build for me

Thanks for your response. My tv can handle both, but neither PAL nor NTSC are working properly with 1.2.3. Stock rom and 1.2 are fine. However the output seems to be lagging more than on my computer screen via HDMI, at least with the stock rom.


btw When I restrict my CPU to frequencies between 1.2 and 1.4 ghz the short black screens seem to occur less often.

Thanks i will look into that and see if it helps my audio dropping out ,a couple of posts back i posted a line to add to your build pro it enables hw playback for player worth a try works with 1.2.3 in justxbmc 1080p no lag might work with other players

Hi Gerry,

i uploaded some oc kernels for t-r42 and k-r42. The kernel has other fix for 1366x768. Could you please check if it still works for you?

thanks

Hello wasser,

unfortunately, it doesn't work.
I got 2 dmesg dumps. One from the kernel-t_r42_cpu1800h_ddr800_1080p_gpu600h
and one from the working t-r42-kernel-241113-1.img.

In the working one, Sink info looks good, and appears just once:
<4>[ 1.306250] Support video mode:
<4>[ 1.309480] 1366x768p@60Hz.
<4>[ 1.312359] 1280x720p@60Hz.
<4>[ 1.315259] 1280x720p@50Hz.
<4>[ 1.318138] 720x576p@50Hz.
<4>[ 1.320929] 720x480p@60Hz.
<4>[ 1.323733] ******** Show Sink Info ********

In the non working, it appears twice:
1.
<4>[ 5.084351] Support video mode:
<4>[ 5.084360] 1920x1080p@60Hz.

<4>[ 5.084407] 1280x720p@60Hz.
<4>[ 5.084414] 1280x720p@50Hz.
<4>[ 5.084422] 720x576p@50Hz.
<4>[ 5.084429] 720x480p@60Hz.
<4>[ 5.084437] ******** Show Sink Info ********

2.
<4>[ 5.834095] ******** Show Sink Info ********
<4>[ 5.834109] Support video mode:

Maybe it helps you to fix that issue again.

TV-out bug on firmvare 1.2.3

Hello wasser,

Does not work correctly analog TV-output.
On the TV screen, I see the upper left corner of the desktop, about a quarter of.
Image on the screen strip and the band is not correct color displays.

Firmware version 1.2.3
TV system PAL

You need an app installed called ehomemediacenter in order for RKRemote to work. It's on the stock firmware, but not on Wasser's custom firmware. I think you can find it on Aptoide. Once you have it installed and working then use Titanium backup to store it so you can easily reinstall it next time you are flashing.

I take it all your 720p movies stutter? Perhaps check your sound output in Android settings. Also try playing with MX player with the custom h/w+ enabled. I have had a few downloaded movies that did not play in XBMC, but perfectly in MX.

The kernels at the top are all overclocked with different CPU and memory timings. No need to use any of those, but if you do you may experience an unexpected crash on the higher ones. The RK3188 chip is normally running at 1.6GHz and overclocking it will push it higher, and might overheat it! So be careful.

Thanks for your reply. I installed ehomemediacenter and it works again.
I played a bit with my audio settings, but that doesn't help. With this firmware I also have the problem that the movie stops after 10 minutes. When I start the movie again. after a while the movie stops playing again. I use DicePlayer to play my movies. I didn't have that problem with stock firmware.
I will try to use MX Player and see what happens there.

Hi all,

First of all, thanks to all that are part of making our T-R42 boxes usable; many thanks to all especially wasser.

I downloaded and installed the 1.2.2 version and found out that there is no xbmc preinstalled. I downloaded the Gotham version and tested it. 720p playback is acceptable but 1080p is choppy. Could anyone give me a hint as to what version to use that plays 1080p smoothly.

I usually play my movies over SMB. which is the best to use if smb is not suitable?

Has anyone tried bluetooth music headset with this box? if yes, is it working properly?.

Hello,
first of all excuse me for my English.

I have MK888 player but it use AP6210 IC for radio, so AFAIK i have analogue of T-R42 player with WiFi and Bluetooth. My PCB inside look exactly as on this picture: http://i.imgur.com/nA8sh6f.jpg

Firstly, when i think that i have analogue of K-R42, i flashed K-R42_justXBMC_by_lewy20041_v1.1.1 firmware and all was fine except non working WiFi and Bluetooth. But all my video files are played well and without any exceptions.

But then, when i learn that my player is really analogue of T-R42, i flashed t-r42-wasser-1.2.3 firmware. WiFi and Bluetooth start working well, but my video files playback become ugly! All 720p .mkv files began plays with artefacts (random coloured small squares over frame image, i guess that decompression artefacts), 1080p files playback become very slowly. Problem with artefacts i solve by turning off hardware acceleration in XBMC settings, but 1080p files playback still very slowly.

I flashed back K-R42_justXBMC_by_lewy20041_v1.1.1 and all my video files playback again become smooth and without any artefacts. I checked settings of XBMC on this firmware and found that "use hardware acceleration" option is turned on by default.

So my questions is:
1. Anybody who have T-R42 or they analogue, do you use t-r42-wasser-1.2.3 firmware? If yes, what with you video files playback?

2. Why almost same firmwares (AFAIK they must differ only by kernels and maybe kernel modules for different radio modules) shown so different playback results of video files?

Also, firmware from lewy20041 shown real 1920x1080 resolution in XBMC and AnTuTu info. And what i found, they also use video.use.overlay=0 option in build.prop But may this option affect on video playback (decompression artefacts and speed)?

I have T-R42 and I flashed it by wasser firmware and everything works fine except that all movies looks to dark in xbmc and I didn't know how to change it.

Jesurun AP6210 and bluetooth.

Firmware 1.2.3 work great on my Jesurun with bluetooth and AP6210 - Last firmware I have it was the RK3188T_BOX_SZTENA_B351_AP6210_20131025.

Thanks for your work wasser.

Hello,

I bought a T-R42 and have a problem flashing roms.
When I flash a rom the box won't boot, screen stays dark and only the power button is lit.
Tried wasser 1.2.3 (T-R42), HFW 1.2.1/2.0.4 (didn't know it was K-R42 only) and even the stock rom from geekbuying.com doesn't boot.
The only ROMs that boot are justXBMC 1.1.1 and wasser 1.2.2 (T-R42) but neither Ethernet nor Wifi can't be enabled.

thanks in advance for any advice.
