No sound through SPDIF - July update

Kodi freezes for me every other day and I have to reboot the Vero. Have you seen anything useful from the logs I posted before?

Now after the last freeze that occurred today I had to sudo reboot 4 times before I could get into Kodi. The other times I just got a black screen after the OSMC splash-screen. Also, the sound output was changed to analogue instead of SPDIF after the successful reboot.

Paste server still unavailable I guess…

Output…

Yes. Most OSMC services are still unavailable

Kodi on my Vero still freezes about once a day at different times when idle. I always discover it when I power on my TV for using my TV in the evening. This after applying the wget http://paste.osmc.io/raw/gexocugima -O- | sudo sh .

Also get black screen often when I try to reboot right after the OSMC splash screen.
I provided logs over a week ago but haven’t heard any response.

Is there a fix in reach for this soon? Thanks.

Currently the “http://paste.osmc.io/raw/gexocugima” address target shows:
{“message”:“Document not found.”}

Is this still avoiding the workaround you sugested previously on this thread @sam_nazarko (wget http://paste.osmc.io/raw/gexocugima -O- | sudo sh)?

Well. I got asked before in this thread if I was using the default resolution/refresh.
I thought I did, but when I looked again I was on 23.98Hz for the GUI.
After I changed to 50Hz I have experienced no freezes of Kodi. (knock on wood).

No change to my situation. Still no sound via spdiff, only via hdmi, and no light on the spdiff port. Also experiencing several freezes on VERO.

The output for the command “wget http://paste.osmc.io/raw/gexocugima -O- | sudo sh” has changed. Now is:

I could use some sugestions, at least on how can I provide more info to help you find this problem. @sam_nazarko? @DBMandrake?

This problem is penalizing my VERO experience heavily. Should I reinstall VERO from scratch? Is an update handling these issues coming soon? What is your feedback on this?

Thank you very much for your attention on these issues.

Good morning,

Here are the logs corresponding to the freeze on my VERO. I just left it on overnight.

Kodi log:

Hope to shed some light on this issue.

Hi there,

We have resolved the SPDIF issue, but as you know, there is a bug with freezes. We now think we know what this is and are working on fixing that. Once these two issues are fixed, we will release an update with Kodi 15.1 (the OSMC August update). I suspect this will be ready in a couple of days, and should definitely be released before the weekend

I will keep you updated

Sam

Thank you very much for your prompt feedback @sam_nazarko.
Hope to have these issues solved soon, as currently they are the only snags on my VERO experience.

Keep up the good work guys.

Sounds promising Sam. Good luck :slight_smile:

Johan

Is it safe to update to the August update or am I likely to lose my SPDIF output again?

SPDIF is fixed in the August update.

Sam

hi sam! is the update out now?

also any buffering issues i was having i solved by putting a 10/100 network switch in front of the vero (:

Hi

Yes, the update is out now and you can learn more here: OSMC’s August update arrives with Kodi 15.1 - OSMC

Sam

super. you are a legend sam thanks for everything

It’s working flawlessly. Passthrough ac3 and dts fine with update 15.1 Great job guys!

Problem solved mates!!!

Just one remark tough. As I recall, just a few days prior to the August update, something happened causing my skin’s (AEON Nox 5) settings to get lost. I had to reconfigure VERO from scratch, and by doing that, even with the same settings, the DD and DTS sound was working.

It is not the first time that a reset of the VERO’s settings to their factory defaults gets some issues fixed.

Than you @sam_nazarko, @DBMandrake et all.
