OSMC's August update is here with Kodi v19 - OSMC

[2ndvizio]

This fixed it for me. In case it helps others, I just purchased the Vero 4K+ and the install seemed to download ok but there was an error during installation. Manual install didn’t do anything. But setting up the ssh and executing the command line to do the install worked just fine. Thanks!

Anyone else lost the ability to choose 3.5mm A/V jack port as audio device?

Can only choose HDMI

No 3.5mm analogue audio output option, since latest update, Pi 3B

Hi, First of all, thanks for making great software that generally works well. I write to identify an issue that has arose since the latest major update (2021.08-1). Simply put, there is now to longer an option in the output output setting for the analogue 3.5mm jack. There are just 3 near-identical HDMI options. I am running OSMC on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2. Certainly the audio does output on HDMI, however I can no longer change it to the 3.5mm jack within OSMC settings. To return…

Since the update I am getting 14MB/sec file transfer speeds via SMB regardless of whether the Vero4k+ is on or suspended, previously I was getting 2.3MB/sec 23MB/sec suspended/powered up. What is the reason for this and can I get 23MB/sec back again?

One question regarding OSMC with Kodi 19.1 and RPi4 with x265/HEVC

I havent found a crystal clear statement regarding this: is hardware acceleration/decoding currently available for x265 content?

Just installed new OSMC on RPi4 and when I play x265 files and hit info button, it states hardware decoding as inactive. So, do I need to somehow enable this or is it just not implemented in the new video playback engine (v4l2) and is under work in progress?

Yes. Is you UI set to 1080p and adjust refresh rate and h/w decoder in player settings enabled?

[morti]

Hm for me it looks like this:

Looking good to me from settings, but hw inactive. It doesnt help if I enable “only allow acceleration for HEVC”.

Video: HVC1 1920x816 23.976fps [V: hevc main, yuv420p, 1920x816 [default]]

/EDIT: I can also create a new thread in support with debug logs while running that movie, if it is not just a checkbox they I have maybe missed. I installed that OSMC from scratch on RPi4 two days ago. So at least h265 HW decoder wasn on by default.

Yes.

Tried to update my Vero 4K via the My OSMC menu but it failed:

Could having the Hyperion server running have caused this?

[sam_nazarko]

It’s hard to say what the issue is.

I’d suggest a new post with some logs if you are able to retrieve them.
