p3i T2a
While we merged the functionality of the avdvplus R6 settings and kernel, strings and certain automatic relationships were not updated. This is a bugfix release over T2.
Changelog
- Rename LAV Filters mode to Audio Fixes mode and re-introduce Debug and Seek/Sync modes
- Align VS10 fillers with avdvplus R6
- Align strings and settings with avdvplus R6
- Set Audio Fixes to Off by default
Our Audio Fixes setting isn't directly coupled to the video settings compared to avdvplus as they're mostly unnecessary and should be usable without using any specific video modes. - Add German settings translations
General info on this release
If you're coming from avdvplus R6, you should feel right at home now. If you're a user of T1/T2, the newly aligned Settings/System/CoreELEC Video/DV settings might be confusing at first, as their default, to keep in line with R6, are Player-Led. If you have a DV capable display, you might want to set this to Display-Led.
Sorry for the confusion in T2!
Tip
If you're coming from a build that's not T2, and you're using audio offsets, double check them as you might not need them anymore.
Installation
1. Dirty
Drop the update tar into your CoreELEC update folder and reboot - this can be used as a dirty upgrade from CPM A14 or any of the U3k and avdvplus builds.
Should hitting reboot result in a black screen (long standing issue with any build), wait 10 seconds to make sure this wasn't just a fluke, then unplug and re-plug the device's power. The upgrade will commence afterwards.
Caution
Resetting Settings/System/CoreELEC to defaults after doing this is necessary. Not the CoreELEC Settings Addon!
2. Dirty (safe)
Drop the update tar into your CoreELEC update folder, shut down the device, pull the power plug for 30 seconds, replug.
Caution
Resetting Settings/System/CoreELEC to defaults after doing this is necessary. Not the CoreELEC Settings Addon!
3. Flash
Use the provided Flash img.gz to prepare your SD card as you would with any other CoreELEC build.
advancedsettings.xml
If you'd like, you can add the following to your advancedsettings.xml, which further improves UI rendering, but is not strictly necessary:
<advancedsettings version="1.0">
<gui>
<fronttobackrendering>true</fronttobackrendering>
<geometryclear>false</geometryclear>
</gui>
</advancedsettings>
Make sure the XML format is correct, otherwise the file will not be read at all. If you already have such a file, only add the <gui></gui> parts.
Thanks
A massive shoutout to everyone involved in this build!
