Just a quick one before I forget again.

On my AMlogic S805 , if I set the Android GUI to 24Hz and reboot with the correct 666 permission given to the Mode file for dynamic frame rate switching. SPMC will start in some sort of 3D mode with two pictures Side by Side. Un-viewable on my 2D TV. 50Hz and 60Hz are fine.
If I remember correctly Isengard exhibited similar behavior.

The reason for 24Hz, is I get perfect Netflix HD video sync. I thought nearly all Netflix content was 23.976fps.

Anyway I will have to try and grab a log tomor. Zzzzz time here down under.

I am having some trouble getting my LiveTV (mythtv) working with SPMC 14.2 and hardware acceleration enabled:

I used an advancedsettings.xml setup that someone had for the AFTV to use hardware acceleration for the AFTV depending on the content (SD vs HD) . I really don't know if this file is correct but I did a short control experiment.

advancedsettings.xml

<video>
<stagefright>
<!-- -1 is default, 0 is never used this codec, 1 is always use this codec, bypassing blacklist -->
<useavccodec>hd</useavccodec>
<usevc1codec>hd</usevc1codec>
<usevpxcodec>hd</usevpxcodec>
<usemp4codec>hd</usemp4codec>
<usempeg2codec>hd</usempeg2codec>
<useswrenderer>false</useswrenderer>
</stagefright>
<mediacodec>
<!-- -1 is default, 0 is never used this codec, 1 is always use this codec, bypassing blacklist -->
<useavccodec>hd</useavccodec>
<usevc1codec>hd</usevc1codec>
<usevpxcodec>hd</usevpxcodec>
<usemp4codec>hd</usemp4codec>
<usempeg2codec>1</usempeg2codec>
<useswrenderer>false</useswrenderer>
</mediacodec>
</video>


I went into general settings - video - hardware acceleration and did the following experiments

Exp #1: SD with both libstagefright and mediacodec enabled---------------------> timeout
Exp #2 - SD with libstagefright enabled and mediacodec disabled --------------> worked for SD content , timeout for HD
Exp #3 - HD 720p with libstagefright enabled and mediacodec disabled ------> timeout for HD content
Exp #4 - HD 720p with libstagefright enabled and mediacodec enabled-------> timeout for HD content
Exp #5 - HD 1080i with libstagefright enabled and mediacodec enabled------> timeout for HD content
Exp #6 - HD 1080i with libstagefright enabled and mediacodec disabled-----> timeout for HD content

If I had libstagefright disabled and mediacodec enabled ---> no hardware acceleration and no timeouts for SD or HD
If I had libstagefright disabled and mediacode disabled ----> no hardware acceleration and no timeouts for SD or HD



Here are the details...

Well yesterday I was bagging out HardKernel and for being control freaks and not allowing the correct 666 file permissions in their ODROID-C1 firmware for SPMC 14.2.0 or Kodi 14.2 to operate without the SuperSu app.

They at least came half way to the party with new Android Firmware and put the correct 666 permission in the file /sys/class/display/mode to allow Dynamic Frame Rate switching in SPMC / Kodi Isengard going forward.

Rare good news in the Android forums.

[mini__me]

Hey there,

Love the work you've put into this, it's what I run on my FTV and FTV Sticks round the house as it removes the problems with other versions of Kodi with the deinterlacing on them.

I've just bought one of the new Sony Bravia's with integrated Android TV and it has some small issues with the interlacing as was happening on the FTV before I found your excellent version

Is there anything that I can run or provide that could help to possibly eliminate some of the interlacing issues? I'm fairly competent with ADB and editing files as required / pulling and providing files.

Cheers

[kingsombra]

Probably a packaging mistake.
Has anyone an *easy* addon to test PIL? OZWeather is kind of a pita for testing

Openweather

Just as an experiment, I tried installing SPMC 14.2 then immediately installing 15b1 over it to see if the PIL package would wind up being there.

Sorry to say the experiment failed.

Eh. It was worth a shot.

I am having some trouble getting my LiveTV (mythtv) working with SPMC 14.2 and hardware acceleration enabled:

I used an advancedsettings.xml setup that someone had for the AFTV to use hardware acceleration for the AFTV depending on the content (SD vs HD) . I really don't know if this file is correct but I did a short control experiment.

advancedsettings.xml

<video>
<stagefright>

<usemp4codec>hd</usemp4codec>
<usempeg2codec>hd</usempeg2codec>
<useswrenderer>false</useswrenderer>
</stagefright>
<mediacodec>
<!-- -1 is default, 0 is never used this codec, 1 is always use this codec, bypassing blacklist -->

<usemp4codec>hd</usemp4codec>
<usempeg2codec>1</usempeg2codec>
<useswrenderer>false</useswrenderer>
</mediacodec>
</video>


I went into general settings - video - hardware acceleration and did the following experiments

Exp #1: SD with both libstagefright and mediacodec enabled---------------------> timeout
Exp #2 - SD with libstagefright enabled and mediacodec disabled --------------> worked for SD content , timeout for HD

Exp #5 - HD 1080i with libstagefright enabled and mediacodec enabled------> timeout for HD content
Exp #6 - HD 1080i with libstagefright enabled and mediacodec disabled-----> timeout for HD content

If I had libstagefright disabled and mediacodec enabled ---> no hardware acceleration and no timeouts for SD or HD
If I had libstagefright disabled and mediacode disabled ----> no hardware acceleration and no timeouts for SD or HD

I recorded content for both SD and 720p and 1080i content via MythTV

Then, I played the content via SPMC 14.2 and hardware acceleration worked properly.

So, for some reason I can't get LIveTV (Mythtv) to work properly since it times out and then SPMC crashes.

[harlekin]

@Koying: Would you consider pulling SPMC from the Amazon appstore, in light of the recent developments regarding Amazon openly attacking Kodi through instilling the embargo and starting their denunciation campaign ("Kodi is illegal").

We already see people mistakingly getting afraid of Kodi, choosing SPMC over it on the Fire TV, believing it will solve their dilemma.

It would be a sign and force people to reflect on the situation, instead of just changing apps while hoping that SPMC doesnt get big enough.

A public statement would help as well.

[Koying]

Indeed. However, seems easier to get kicked off than to unpublish an app.
You have to open a ticket for this. Go figure...

Here is the request

App Withdrawal.

In light of your ridiculous removal of Kodi from you store and by solidarity, I hereby request that you remove my SPMC (com.semperpax.spmc) app from your store.

Regards

Hahaha! Goes to show... Thanks for letting us know!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.... That was backup plan, sigh.... Let's hope it takes years for the app to be removed.

[Hitcher]

Isn't getting this removed like cutting off your nose to spite your face?

[IhuckleberryI]

kinda agree. Still easier to get icon in the recent menu a nice welcome workaround. But its up to koying

[wrxtasy]

I would not have done it personally. Especially if it makes it harder for users to now get Kodi on to devices.
It Koying's baby tho...

[Ned Scott]

Well, right now it's only useful for Amazon tablets, phones, and any android device that has the Amazon app store manually installed. I wouldn't count on the "Recents" trick to always work, because that's something Amazon could easily see as a bug and eventually patch.

[harlekin]

People skipped over SPMC is pulling to facilitate a discussion - entirely and ended up at - *sigh* this only makes it even harder for me to still buy Amazon devices and not think about what happened - almost immediately.

And have you heard the newest thing, in a few days Koying will crawl back to Amazons Appstore, trying to resubmit and then be denied. One individual even tried to make a hashtag for it. http://www.aftvnews.com/spmc-requests-ap...-appstore/

You have to understand, that the move only has the significance you allow it to have. if you want to resign to a world where Kodi can openly be labeled "illegal" without any explaination given, simply because using a Media Player on your Android devices goes against corporate interests, you havent understood how civil society is supposed to work in the face of corporate decision making.

If you already have accepted, that Amazon simply will pull a media player from distribution, once it has become too popular, Kodi as a project has lost already.

If you dont force the public discussion, why general purpose software can be labeled the way Amazon decided to, all this project has ever mounted up to be was a good incubator for selling out to certain interests by being a great base for Plex, which you then use on your iPad.

When Amazon deleted 1984 off of poples devices it was seen as an attack on peoples property. When Amazon stopped the distribution of the most popular open source media player through their channels, ...

You decide on the meaning. Actively.
