Openelec Build for OPI PC and 2 now with HW decoding

LamerJack · Published in 2016-10-27 20:00:25

I just tested the latest build. and i'm not able to play 4kvideos.
The maxium resolution that i was able to play is 2560 pixel wide.
I try to read on previous posts... but 154 pages is too much so maybe i missed some posts.
Is a know limtiation? Is a problem of OrangePi One that has only 512mb ram?
From previous build now h265 hardware accelleration at 1920x1080 works! Good improovement!
Excellent Job|||
Enrico.

According to andrzejm crashes during channel switch are still possible, but they should be minimized and confined to Kodi. That means if Kodi crashes during channel switch, just wait few seconds and Kodi will be restarted automatically.

Primary development is done on OPi2 and I can tell you that I regulary test playback of sample 4K video "HoneyBee_3840x2160_120fps_420_8bit_HEVC_MP4.mp4" as found on the internet and it works perfectly. Actually I start to worry once frame drops appear during playback of this video. It is entirely possible that RAM size is the reason for your experiences.

yes i meant the kernel surviving the crash. it is no big deal now after having to hard reset on crash.

Well, he didn't say that he fixed something with cec, did he?

Another issue with PC Plus is that there is no schematic file available. We can only guess that it is mostly the same as PC.

Hi jernej,
After updating with 20160806 on 20161026 the RTL8188ETV adapter doesn't work.
