not expensive

Where ordered and for what price?



Rep: (3)
You can check if the optical output is working. Does sound 5.1 come from the next topic X96max. We have a problem with this.



Rep: (3)
I am purely because of the firmware. This is clone X96Max. Problem with SPDIF output. The diode is on, but the sound is not going.

3) write in build.prop last line: sys.initd = 1

What is this for? Do any programs check this?

Posted on 03/07/2012, 5:27 PM:

Open the file Generic.kl using the built-in text editor.
The value of the key with the name key28 c DPAD_CENTER on ENTER is correct.

You just need to keep in mind that after that the central button (OK) on the remote control will stop working.
Some programs only respond to DPAD_CENTER. In particular, when entering text through the on-screen keyboard.

1) locate in / system / etc file sysctl.conf rwxr-xr-x follows:

Hello everyone.
Bought it a box. In the box, I checked everything - everything works. Only SPDIF did not check - there is nothing.
Remote: some buttons do not work, but I do not use it. Without it, it is inconvenient to use a blue-toothed mouse to click some yes-no buttons in the settings.

Now the question is: in this box, android 8.1.0 and the menu with squares, to which I have a very strong dislike (I personally have such a personal dislike for the victim that I cannot eat ... (c)), you can somehow replace it with a normal one with icons status bar and other buns?

Thank.

After you answered, I started poking around - it turns out the status panel, navigation bar and starter, all individual programs .. (Opening for me!)

I tried MS Launcher, Nova Launcher and Super S9 as well. Today, your work is minimalistic and functional!
I also installed a navigation bar, tried a couple of status panels, but none of them seemed to be .. "We will look for (c)"

Hello. I purchased this tv box n5 max 4 / 64gb, yesterday I took it. Planned to use 4k content from NAS from local network
When testing my library 4k, a problem was discovered, perhaps it is known, but I did not find any mention of it.
When playingof some 4k video in all players below a bar appears on top of the video, which partially closes the navigation panels in the players.
The bottom line:
-band appears on any player (kodi, mx, vlc) and does not disappear throughout the film, in the app info about the video that comes with the strip and which is normal on this box
-checked, on android phone in any player, all video goes fine without any stripes below
- the band may be highlighted depending on the video near the border of the band - how to explain how to ambilight on TV Phillips
- it is noticed that the band disappears when in the mx player you select the SW decoder, but the video is terribly slow. Return HW decoder returns strip.
- changed the magicsee n5 max firmware to the last one, tried to flash beelink gt mini (s905x2) - the box started working on beelink, but the strip also remained. Returned native firmware
- tried to play the video from the network (NAS), recorded on the memory of the box (4/64) - does not depend, the band remains
- monitors tried different, 4k, fullHD TV, different HDMI 2.0 cables - no difference - the strip is present

in the attachment of pictures and mediainfo, the bad label is where the problem is. The picture is bad and ok from the camera, as the print screen of the screen (PrintScr) shows that there is no strip, only on the screen you can see it
What can it be possible to treat?

Using the method of comparisons and settings, I realized that this is some kind of hw decoder bug, scaling or format conversion. The band appears on the video non-standard (not 16: 9) proportions of the video format. For non-standard formatwith default settings of players , the 16: 9 aspect ratio is adjusted by compressing the image vertically and black bands are added above and below, in theory these bands should appear under the navigation buttons, and they for some reason above the bottom navigation. The expansion of the image vertically or the output in the original format of such non-standard video removes this strip, the video fills the entire screen but it turns out to be slightly elongated vertically. Very strange bug, I will try to communicate with the owners of similar s905x2
Who purchased this box, check for 4k video with a format other than 16: 9 the same band will climb out from the bottom?

I confirm the performance of the Spdif optical audio output, Kodi 18.1 accurately outputs to the audio receiver formats:
AC3 5.1
DTS 5.1
DTS HD 5.1
DTS HD 7.1

TrueHD 7.1 does not work
