Corrupted screen on odroid c2 (S905) on 16.6 and 16.7

[johnnygal]

Platform: Odroid C2 (S905) with Android 5.1 (same issue on 6.0)

SPMC runs up but the screen is corrupt, kind of looks like a TV not tuned in properly/bad frequency. The mouse cursor moves and seems to be taking action to clicks, as sounds are heard.

I have tried spmc 16.6 and 16.7. I have tried installing from play store and directly using apk. I have tried 2 TVs, with and without an AV receiver. I tried renaming the .spmc directory and have it recreated at next start, but the same result.

In the debug log, the only non 'NOTICE' lines are: 14:20:54.025 T:18446744073425162752 NOTICE: Running database version Addons20 14:20:55.119 T:18446744073425162752 WARNING: CSkinInfo: failed to load skin settings 14:20:55.459 T:18446744073425162752 WARNING: Previous line repeats 1 times. 14:20:55.459 T:18446744073425162752 WARNING: JSONRPC: Could not parse type "Setting.Details.SettingList" 14:20:55.531 T:18446744073425162752 NOTICE: ActiveAE DSP - starting 14:20:55.542 T:18446744073425162752 NOTICE: initialize done 14:20:55.542 T:18446744073425162752 NOTICE: Running the application... 14:20:55.689 T:18446744073425162752 ERROR: Window Translator: Can't find window filestackingdialog 14:20:55.690 T:18446744073425162752 ERROR: Window Translator: Can't find window peripherals 14:20:55.905 T:18446744073425162752 NOTICE: starting zeroconf publishing 14:20:55.906 T:18446744073425162752 NOTICE: WebServer: Started the webserver 14:20:55.907 T:18446744073103181568 NOTICE: ES: Starting UDP Event server on 127.0.0.1:9777 14:20:55.907 T:18446744073103181568 NOTICE: UDP: Listening on port 9777 14:20:55.908 T:18446744073425162752 NOTICE: CEGLNativeTypeAndroid: Current resolution: 1920x1080 @ 60.000004 - Full Screen 14:20:55.908 T:18446744073425162752 NOTICE: GL_VENDOR = ARM 14:20:55.908 T:18446744073425162752 NOTICE: GL_RENDERER = Mali-450 MP 14:20:55.909 T:18446744073425162752 NOTICE: GL_VERSION = OpenGL ES 2.0 14:20:55.909 T:18446744073425162752 NOTICE: GL_SHADING_LANGUAGE_VERSION = OpenGL ES GLSL ES 1.00 14:20:55.909 T:18446744073425162752 NOTICE: GL_EXTENSIONS = GL_EXT_debug_marker GL_OES_texture_npot GL_OES_vertex_array_object GL_OES_compressed_ETC1_RGB8_texture GL_EXT_compressed_ETC1_RGB8_sub_texture GL_OES_standard_derivatives GL_OES_EGL_image GL_OES_depth24 GL_ARM_rgba8 GL_ARM_mali_shader_binary GL_OES_depth_texture GL_OES_packed_depth_stencil GL_EXT_texture_format_BGRA8888 GL_OES_vertex_half_float GL_EXT_blend_minmax GL_OES_EGL_image_external GL_OES_EGL_sync GL_OES_rgb8_rgba8 GL_EXT_multisampled_render_to_texture GL_EXT_discard_framebuffer GL_OES_get_program_binary GL_ARM_mali_program_binary GL_EXT_shader_texture_lod GL_EXT_robustness GL_OES_depth_texture_cube_map GL_KHR_debug GL_ARM_shader_framebuffer_fetch GL_ARM_shader_framebuffer_fetch_depth_stencil GL_OES_mapbuffer 14:21:29.792 T:18446744073425162752 ERROR: Window Translator: Can't find window filestackingdialog 14:21:29.793 T:18446744073425162752 ERROR: Window Translator: Can't find window peripherals 14:21:29.834 T:18446744073425162752 ERROR: CGUITextureManager::GetTexturePath: could not find texture 'button-focus.png'

Any help appreciated.

I had a problem on 16.7 on my 1080p TV, when i set the resolution in SPMC to 720p i get a garbled display horizontal lines, on my Samsung 55" TV with my S905X TV BOX.

These are all AMLogic Firmware problems and nothing to do with SPMC.

How do I know - well SPMC 16.7.0 works just fine on the AMLogic Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow platforms - the MINIX U9, Xiaomi Mi Box and the WeTek Hub. The Hub's a bit special as Amcodec Hardware acceleration still works on that for high quality hardware deinterlacing as well 👍

I suggest those using AMLogic that want a smooth Kodi experience use LibreELEC Kodi Krypton as I doubt Android Firmware causing Kodi/SPMC compatibility problems are going to get fixed in a hurry, if at all.

Ahh, ok. Now using LibreELEC and working fine. Thanks. I was hoping to have an android os so I could use browser, etc. Settled on an android/LibreELEC dual boot instead.
