[TESTING] Linux 4.9 kernel and improved video stack for Vero 4K / 4K +

It seems to be working OK here.

The IP you are connecting from seems to be on a few blacklists for spam and malicious activity – so that might be triggering a fail2ban rule.

Thanks

I tried also from VPS also has same problem, each thread limit to 1KB/s. Thanks.

I would suggest just downloading from a normal connection, where it should work without issue.

I connect with my ISP 1und1 and result is same.

Stuck on 720p also, can’t get anything above that. First time testing 4.9. I’ll just have to revert back for now.

Can you also post a log?

Cheers

Are you connecting through an AVR or direct to display?

Its direct to TV at the moment but usually it is in my AVR. So switched off and plugged into AVR and my projector is OK. So switched off again and plugged TV into AVR and that’s OK too. Switched off and plugged direct into TV and stuck at 720p.

Hi,

I’ve a very strange problem.
The update of my 4K+ was easy and it works flawlessly.

But my 4K don’t get the wired network up after the update. On a clean install of the January version: all fine / updated to march: everything fine - updated to the 4.9 build: no wired connection

At boot time I see:
[ 7.876062] NAZARKO: going to use new MAC address
[ 7.876071] eth0: device MAC address c4:4e:ac:10:ba:11
[ 7.948441] internal phy init
[ 8.020500] internal phy init
[ 8.031911] meson6-dwmac c9410000.ethernet eth0: fail to init PTP.
[ 8.032370] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready

the last two lines are repeating over the time.
ip a
says:
2: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,DYNAMIC,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN group default qlen 1000
link/ether c4:4e:ac:10:ba:11 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

But ifup and ifdown both: unknown interface eth0

The “native” MAC I use for the static DHCP always was another (00:E0:4C:30…)

BTW: Could you post/send me the original how to to install the former 3D build on the January update? The girls may kill me if Frozen stays plain :upside_down_face:

Conclusion: reason for my problem was my USB ethernet adapter, the native ports works fine - sorry for the fuss!!

Thank you - but in the original post the commands to manually install of the 3D build on a 3.14 installation are gone, since the 4.9 test-build was published…

Meanwhile I found the link to the former version in the console history of my 4K+ :grin:

Because they are now part of the kernel, aren’t they?

Yes they are - but I wanted to roll back to 3.14 without loosing 3D :wink:

Meanwhile I fond the error: The USB 3.0 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter doesn’t work anymore with the 4.9 kernel. With the native ethernet port everything works smooth.

Thanks for the help and your time - just because it was my fault.

I’ve had a couple of random frowning face crashes while watching TV shows. I didn’t see anything odd in the logs, but the Kodi logs aren’t in debug mode by default. I think one was an MPEG2 and one was an H264 file. Since that information is absolutely useless for troubleshooting, what’s the best way to prep and then capture logs after a crash like that?

If you can’t find something that is easily reproducible then you can set your system to debug log without the overlay by adding <loglevel>1</loglevel> to an advancedsettings.xml file until you are able to capture the problem. Be aware if you do this you should remove that once you have gotten what you want. That will make your logs significantly larger and turning it off in the GUI with that in advancedsettings does NOT disable the logs. Also you will probably want to reboot Kodi twice at the start of your viewing sessions so your log does not get so big it can’t be easily uploaded.

Would love to give this a try, but I am currently running the nightlies. Can I simply upgrade from there (Following the above instructions), or should I first revert to the stable Kodi builds?

Thanks!

No – you’d need a fresh install of OSMC.

Cheers

Sam

So after not being able to watch anything at other than 720p since tring the kernel, I rolled back to Jan update with a fresh install from image.
Now I have a couple more resolutions to play with but not many.
Only 480p, 720p and 1080p. No uhd resolutions at all.

New logs here

Cheers

And after update to March version, no change from Jan version
