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

I thought I had checked that but apparently I missed the ‘49’ there. Works now, thanks!

I always hate the naggy “When will it be available?” posts but any idea when 4.9 will go as a stable release, days, weeks, months at a guess?
I know “when it’s ready” but I’m on the cusp of rebuilding my Vero4k but would prefer to jump to Buster & 4.9 rather than Buster then 4.9 in say a weeks time when it gets released.

I’d say just upgrade to 4.9 now, unless in the (more recent) posts above there’s a showstopper for you.

There’s no sound after upgrading the kernel and stack.

Here is the dmesg: Ubuntu Pastebin

Full logs via grab-logs -A please!

It will still be a while yet. There are a few things that need looking at yet.

Ok so I had a really weird issue last night.
I was watching ‘Last Man Standing’ and at the end of the credits it jumped to the end of the credits of a previous episode and then at the completion of that it jumped to the end of the credits of yet another episode… Darndest thing. Playback was faultless. My NAS was doing a large download at the time (same NAS that is the source for the video I was watching)…
Never see it do this before…

I don’t understand how that could be possible unless you had a playlist in Kodi.

Did you manage to capture a log?

Can you try and reproduce it with a log

Cheers

Sam

I know it’s odd. I don’t use playlists. It did it again last night. How do you want me to collect a log? Reboot and then turn on debug logging and send you the link? Pretty sure I can reliably reproduce this now.

Reboot twice, turn on debug logging, reproduce issue, upload full logs, share the url.

Can somebody explain why the official build connects to 5Ghz wifi channels above 100 with no problem and this build refuses to? The 5Ghz network is not visible with any channels above 100 including 100. Will this be fixed in the official release? thanks

Router is an Asus AC86U

Did you manually configured the Wifi country? Maybe the automatic mode failed.

No i did not configure anything manually. I had to revert back to official release since that is working fine and high bit rate video plays fine with higher channels but onlower channels is a mess.

What am I doing wrong?

Change apt/osmc into apt.osmc

So double check your apt sources to represent like post 1

Oops…typo…

HDR to SDR don´t work for me in 1080p tv. 4K HDR movies looks very dark,
If I turn the contrast of Kodi up to 65 or 70, it raises the overall brightness of the image, and a film might be visible like that forme, but like this, I’m messing up the gamma and EOTF curve.

We’re still working on improvements on this.
