It’s weird because there’s only a solid green color where the pictures should be, but with black bars above and below like when you play a 21:9 video. There’s audio. You can see subtitles, and when you press the remote’s OK button, the on-screen display appears normally. And when you press stop, the menu comes out normally. But when you press play, the video starts with a green screen all over again. I could take a video or photo if you want. Let me know.
Have been reading over the green screen posts and mulling over things.
We need more information to look in to this issue, as there are a few things that could be a potential cause here. Unfortunately it’s tricky because we are struggling to reproduce this issue here.
Does disabling ‘Adjust Refresh Rate’ temporarily prevent the green screen from occurring?
Does the issue go away with this build (3D build with vero3-172 removed); and if so; does 3D Frame Packed output still work as expected?
(Note, that if you make this bootloader change), you will get some errors from systemd on startup. These can be ignored. To revert, run: sudo apt-get install --reinstall vero3-bootloader-osmc.
Note: these proposed fixes need to be tested incrementally. So start with by disabling Adjust Refresh Rate first; and then try the Kodi build change; then try the bootloader change.
You should still test that Kodi build before testing the bootloader change.
It fixes issues that @ac16161 reported with his AVR + display combination – it’s not just 3D specific, but rather 3D specific changes we’ve included that might be causing these issues
Can you take a screenshot when that green screen appears? Just connect a keyboard to the vero and press ctrl-s. I’d like to know if that screenshot also shows that green screen. But note, there’s a known problem when taking screenshots of a 4k movie, so it would best to test it with a 1080p movie.
My setup is: Vero 4K+ --> Sony HT-ST5000 soundbar --> LG C9.
I just tried plugging the Vero 4K+ directly to the LG C9 and wasn’t able to reproduce the error from the 10 minutes of testing I just did (this has been enough time to reproduce the error with the soundbar connected).
Here’s where it gets weird. Out of curiosity, I took a screenshot while the screen was working fine (1920 x 1080 @ 60hz). Similar corrupted screenshot. Take a look here.
Can be green screen connected with amvideocap0 driver? I asked because i can still see green screen flashes but not in video self, but on LEDs of Hyperion ambilight when switching channels(960x544 hevc) on tv exactly switching between streams.
I tried to do cat /dev/amvideocap0 when i switched channels and it froze green color on the background for a while. I tried to dump it to file when green color appeared if u would like to see it.
But it didn’t work. Instead, Vero got stuck at buffering. OSMC loading animation looped while the screen stayed at the menu. I did see the movie’s time and it was moving forward normally.
Here’s the log for that – https://paste.osmc.tv/zifapebogu
Then, I reverted back to current beta build, played back a 1080p 23.98hz h264 video. I couldn’t make the green screen appear. So my guess is, the green screen only affects h265 videos when the Vero is at 23.98hz?
Here’s the log for that too – https://paste.osmc.tv/veniwopeca
And screenshot for that (h264 23.98hz) was normal. See below. Again, I did the cat /sys/class/video/dump_reg during playback and then grab-logs -A.
