Hi,

I trying to find the best combination of settings for my system, regarding the RGB full / limit settings. I got an issue with my GPU with RGB full settings and automatic refresh rate change.

I´ve been using this article to study:
video_levels_and_color_space (wiki)

According to above page, best solution for watching video material is to have: full (Kodi), full (GPU), full (TV) OR limited (Kodi) , full (GPU), limited (TV). I´m targeting to have system with full, full, full settings. Or the other one is ok also, but GPU should be in RGB full mode.

I´m not very good with Linux, but I was able to change GPU colour space mode through Putty. I used command:
xrandr --output HDMI2 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full"

I added the line into autostartup.sh script and placed in into /storage/.config/. So after reboot GPU is in "RGB full" mode. I used xrandr --prop to see the present settings.

But when playing video on Kodi, the automatic refresh rate change is not working.

Seems that I´m missing out something here... is there a linux guru here, who could point me into right direction?

The default mode in GPU is "Broadcast RGB" "Video 16:235 pass-through". In this mode the automatic refresh rate change is working.

My system:
HTPC: Intel NUC Kit DCCP847DYE
Software: Libreelec 8.0
AVR: Marantz NR1506
TV: Samsung UE55H6675STXXE (supports full and limited)

HDMI route: HTPC (HDMI2) -> AVR -> TV

-Thanks for help

I'm not sure if this topic has been covered somewhere else, I did read go through about 50 pages of topics and didn't see anything relevant at all. I hope I am posting this in the correct area, if not please forgive a newbie and kindly direct me where ...

I'm super new to this and ran into a problem. I watched a movie that I had saved to favorites. Once I was done I remover it. Now I can't find it at all anywhere and want to watch it again. Did I do something wrong and how can I fix it? Note: I searched...

Small, simple but very effective and efficient modification.

The principle - icon of clock in the top bar indicates recording status.

The icon shows three possible states:

1. no current or future scheduled recording - no clock icon


2. no current recording and one future scheduled recording at least - clock icon in skin theme basic color


3. currently ongoing one recording at least - clock icon is red

This seems like a very odd issue to me.
I have kodi 17, brand new install on ubuntu 16.04.04. Brand new install of both.

For some reason, Kodi.. is not respecting .nomedia files at all. My normal pattern is to create a folder named DONOTSCAN and in those directories I put different versions of a file. For instance I might want a 1080 version picked up by the library, but keep an older 480 version because I like the translation better -- I just only want to show one version in the library/

I have an itty bitty shell script that then adds a .nomedia file to that dir and any subdirectories under it.
Do not scan creator script

So here is a listing of a folder
drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 4096 Feb 23 08:12 .
drwxrwxrwx 1 nobody users 25 Feb 23 08:11 ..
-rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 0 Feb 23 08:12 .nomedia
-rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 237854720 Aug 11 2006 Turn A Gundam - 1x01 - Howling to the Moon..avi
-rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 237873152 Aug 11 2006 Turn A Gundam - 1x02 - The Coming Of Age Ceremony.avi
-rw-rw-rw- 1 nobody users 236761088 Aug 11 2006 Turn A Gundam - 1x03 - After The Ceremony.avi

To kodi, that path is : smb://TOWER/UNRAID/Anime/TV Shows/Gundam Collection/Correct Century/Turn A Gundam/DONOTSCAN/Turn A Gundam - 1x01 - Howling to the Moon..avi

However, it does not obey the ".nomedia file"
kodi.log

It clearly shows it do this..
19:21:17.879 T:139737649142144 DEBUG: VideoInfoScanner: Found episode match smb://TOWER/UNRAID/Anime/TV Shows/Gundam Collection/Correct Century/Turn A Gundam/DONOTSCAN/Turn A Gundam - 1x01 - Howling to the Moon..avi (s1e1) [[\\/\._ \[\(-]([0-9]+)x([0-9]+(??:[a
-i]|\.[1-9])(?![0-9]))?)([^\\/]*)$]

In the past.. I would get a message in the log that it found a .nomedia file so it was skipping this directory.

Oddly to me.. if I set the folder to none, tell it to delete the items... then open the context menu and set the folder to "Exclude from updates" the items come back if I scan. So it doesn't seem to be obeying _any iota_ of the code in itself to ... skip this directory.

I have even created the advancedsettings.xml and inserted this into it, and tested it.. absolutely nothing.

<regexp>-trailer</regexp>
<regexp>[!-._ \\/]DONOTSCAN[-._ \\/]</regexp>
<regexp>[!-._ \\/]sample[-._ \\/]</regexp>
</excludefromscan>
</video>

The folders in question have 50 items in there that should scan in, with 50 in the DONOTSCAN areas that should be ignored. Yet upon scan completion I have all 100 items.

I'm kinda baffled.
Any guesses on what I can do here?

Thanks,

this startet with a small graphic change and now I trie to make a MOD for AEON. Only visible changes and small tweaks. This is a crappy Video of my first steps. Thank You
