Hi, I have had this problem since I started using openpli. I am currently on the 8.3 version and I am using autoresolution plugin on manual mode. Here is my setup on sd and uhd channels I use 2160p ( on sd to avoid double scaling because skin is blurry on the sd resolution), rest resolutions are matching: 1080i-1080i, 1080p-1080p, 720p-720p. Since I had this problem for a long time I know exactly when this happens: If I watch sd or uhd channels with 2160p resolution for a longer time and I switch back to any of these resolutions 720p,1080i,1080p there will be no sound and to get sound back I need to switch to 2160p because that's the only resolution that still has sound. This is not a rule sometimes it won't happen in a whole day but in 2-3 days it will happen at least once. The weird thing is that this gets fixed randomly by itself by restarting the receiver doesn't fix the issue. The reason this started affecting me more is the fact that I didn't use 2160p on sd channels but 1080p ( I didn't know using 2 scalers was bad) and this is what I will be using to avoid the issue occurring again. Still if I watch uhd channels there is always a probability that this will happen again so it would be nice if this could be fixed.

It's most likely a bug in the manufacturer's drivers. By the way, are these stream channels or dvb?

What is your device for the Sound? TV or AVR? Do you use passthrough or downmix? If downmix did you also activate downmix for AAC?

Dvb channels but it happens with iptv channels as well.

TV, I use downmix and I did activate downmix for aac. When this bug happens switching to passthrough doesn't fix the issue.

openpli 8.3
replace for test /usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/SystemPlugins/AutoResolution/plugin.py

Sorry I am using downmix only for ac3 and dts, I don't see aac downmix settings.

will test now, file in that folder has extension pyo. Should I rename the file you sent me to .pyo or stay with .py?

Stay with .py

[Marko1305]

Stay with .py

If I stay with .py, enigma creates identical size .pyo that I deleted. Is that supposed to happen? If I rename it to .pyo it doesn't create another .pyo

Simple add plugin.py  and restart E2

[Marko1305]

Simple add plugin.py and restart E2

Done, in a few days of testing I will do an update of the situation, whether the problem is fixed or not.

[Marko1305]

Simple add plugin.py and restart E2

I can confirm the problem is fixed now when I replaced the file.

Is there a way to set the default correctly by box type via eg SystemInfo.py

[Dimitrij]

Is there a way to set the default correctly by box type via eg SystemInfo.py

 

For what?

Is a simple yes/no setting no longer suitable?

For me it is. Will this option come to a stable 8.3 build ?

What about 9.0 build. Sorry for being not clear enough by "yes it is" I meant that yes/no option is still suitable.

Hi, I found one problem with deinterlacing on Zgemma H9S and I suspect it is the same on the other Zgemmas with the same chipset.
Adaptive Deinterlacing works on channels that are encoded in MBAFF (type of interlaced encoding) and the box shows "1080p25" on those channels. If you watch sports on those channels it will automatically switch to video deinterlacing 50fps and if you watch movies/shows it will stop deinterlacing and leave the content in 25fps keeping the full resolution.
- So here is the problem if the channels are encoded as basic interlaced which the box recognizes as "1080i25" then the box is locked to 50fps video deinterlacing. Resulting in slight artifacts and worse picture on 25fps content such as Movies/TV Shows which are not meant to be deinterlaced.

Here are my 2 possible suggestions on how it could be fixed:

1. Somehow force the box to recognize every interlaced channel as 1080p25 ( I am aware that this might not be possible or optimal)

2. Force the box to recognize every channel as 1080i25 so the user can set the output signal to 1080i and leave the deinterlacing to the TV.

-You may ask why I am not able to do the 2nd solution right now? The problem is when channels are recognized as 1080p25 and the output signal is set to 1080i, the TV is always locked to 50fps video deinterlacing which is not the case on 1080i25 which works correctly and the tv is able to switch between film and video deinterlacing.
Also keeping the output signal for 1080p25 to 1080p and 1080i25 to 1080i results in annoying consistent resolution switches because sometimes even MBAFF is recognized as interlaced.

Sorry for such a long message and I really hope that this could be fixed somehow. Thanks in advance.

 

 

What exactly should I add to the autoresolution plugin, any ideas?
