Openelec for MatrixTBS

[mikebzh44]

Maybe it's a little confusing to speak about MatrixTV 1.0.1.0 in an OpenELEC thread.

Vpeter, we should continue our discussion about IR receiver in MatrixTV 1.0.1.0 thread.

I guess that some people have a good reason to use the IR receiver? I have no interest since I find CEC much more convenient.

However, I do wonder whether the v2.1 hardware has overcome the problem of hanging the CEC line when the TBS2910 is not powered on.

@PeterB

on my 3.14 kernel build with helix kodi alfa 4 everything works fine CEC wise.

[mikebzh44]

Yes CEC is OK as long as your TV set provide CEC. My main TV (Sony KDL46W3000 is quite old and support only ON / OFF by CEC :S) but my other TV (which I use for testing Matrix box) have CEC.
But as Matrix box provide IR receiver, I'm using it for test

[PeterB]

I think that you all misunderstand me - CEC works great on the TBS2910 - without that I'd be very disappointed. The problem comes when the TBS2910 is powered off while still attached to the rest of the system by HDMI - it prevents all the other equipment from communicating with each other.

I have 3 Sony TVs and 3 Sony HTs. On all three systems, the TV and HT communicate fine ... until you plug an unpowered TBS2910 into the system .. then the TV and HT can no longer communicate with each other. If I power the HT off, then the TV and TBS2910 can still communicate, but power the TBS2910 off ....

Yes, get a V1.3 board.

Which vpeter's patch ?

Did you enter setup ?



Which entry did you setup ?

What are the result of this commands on your box ?

Thanks for your help.

vpeter: Do you have deinterlacing working properly? I can't get deinterlacing to work on OE as well as on MatrixTV. It just makes picture jerky, without increasing CPU load.
There is a ticket related: https://github.com/xbmc-imx6/xbmc/issues/70.

[vpeter]

Matrix is not my primary system. But I just check that on Helix and seems issue is present. And known.
Currently I don't see any solution for that.

Don't know why but I have successed in installing MatrixTV 1.0.1.0 on eMMC and OpenELEC Gotham on SD card and now, IR receiver and MCE remote are OK on both OS

Hi guys.

I'm writing an How To for our french forum and I'm wondering if this modded MatrixTV 1.0.1.0 that allow multi-boot can also perfome auto update from SD card (with a different SD car of course).

When MatrixTV 1.0.1.1 will be release, if we upgrade it via SD card I guess that u-boot will be upgrade too so Matrix won't boot anymore on SD car, am I right ?

Or MatrixTV 1.0.1.1 will include modded u-boot ?

Thanks.
