| 21:11 | rd` | I see issues with openelec on cubox-i4pro and DVB-S2 HD channels. SD channels work fine. HD channels show artefacts, which point to loss of data packets. |
| 21:13 | rd` | Has anybody seen that before, does anybody know how the issue can be narrowed down (I do not see specific entries in kodi.log) |
| 21:24 | wrexem | Is it wired or wireless rd` |
| 21:25 | wrexem | what is the source media? network drive? does the same thing happen when local media is used? |
| 21:27 | wrexem | DVB as in a USB SDR gadget? |
| 21:27 | rd` | Source media is DVB-S, live TV |
| 21:28 | rd` | even without recording, the issue is there. |
| 21:28 | rd` | The issue is only there with |
| 21:28 | rd` | HD streams not SD streams. |
| 21:28 | rd` | tvheadend shows no continuity errors. I.e. they the data are lost within the cubox-i |

| 21:36 | rd` | mk01, I am not entirely sure what conclusion to draw out of this bug report: The cubox-i support is poor for openelec? A new kernel is needed? |
| 21:56 | wrexem | Anyone know how to check the CPU temp on the Hummingboard? IgorPec 's build |
| 21:56 | IgorPec | wrexem: it was left out by mistake. you need to wait for an kernel update |
| 21:57 | IgorPec | wrexem: one - two weeks max |
| 21:58 | wrexem | It's showing the drive temp... |
| 21:59 | wrexem | how do I check that again |
| 21:59 | wrexem | (P.s. guessing that 57C on the SSD is probably not a good sign...) |
| 21:59 | wrexem | That and the fact that my fps for encoding keeps going down further and further... lol |
| 22:00 | mk01 | rd`: kernel and kodi. |
| 22:02 | IgorPec | wrexem: 57 is a bit high ... |
| 22:02 | wrexem | IgorPec, what's the command (and where is that script launching from??) that happens when logging in |
| 22:02 | IgorPec | wrexem: thermal readings is not build into kernel, so you can't check soc temp ... it will work on update |
| 22:03 | IgorPec | etc - bash.bashrc.custom |
| 22:03 | mk01 | wrexem: run smartctl. it will show you temp range interval which is watched by hdd itself - so you will have a 'factory' number to compare |
| 22:03 | wrexem | ah, I was looking at ~/.bashrc and ~/.profile |
| 22:03 | wrexem | but /etc/bash.bashrc.custom ? |
| 22:04 | wrexem | I didn't know to look there - heh |
| 22:04 | IgorPec | with update, this is changing too |
| 22:04 | IgorPec | than it will be where it should be, /etc/motd ... script - /etc/update-motd.d |
| 22:05 | wrexem | I have the stock cooler on there, and have been encoding for a couple of hours; fps steadily decreasing throughout |
| 22:05 | wrexem | with no fan or anything |
| 22:05 | rd` | mk01, I think it is a kernel issue. At least if I use vlc as a client on another machine the same issues occur. |
| 22:05 | IgorPec | it should be ok i guess |
| 22:05 | rd` | also if I replace tvheadend with VDR the issues do not go away, i.e. I do not believe that it is a tvheadend issue. |
| 22:06 | mk01 | rd`: as being said at the end of the issue report - OE hasn't been updated at all for imx6 devices for a very long time |
| 22:08 | wrexem | IgorPec, I stopped encoding and the ssd is dropping 3C/minute |
| 22:09 | rd` | Hmm....I got an update yesterday to 6.0.1 |
| 22:10 | mk01 | sure. but what IMX6 specific parts are different from year old release ? |
| 22:10 | wrexem | I'm guessing I need a fan on this box :( |
| 22:10 | wrexem | I have a crappy old one from a laptop somewhere |
| 22:10 | rd` | Maybe I should try to run kodi on Debian. |
| 22:14 | wrexem | The good news is, seems like the imx thermal throttling stuff works great |
| 22:14 | mk01 | wrexem: humm has temp limits around 95C |
| 22:15 | IgorPec | wrexem: yes. it's working good, there were issues in early days, but now it's ok |
| 22:15 | wrexem | I'm guessing - based on observation - that the SoC was throttling out when the SSD (on the bottom...) was @ 57C |
| 22:15 | wrexem | Basically because that's how hot the SoC had to get to push the SSD to 57C |
| 22:15 | IgorPec | wrexem: i don't know exact numbers |
| 22:16 | wrexem | ;) I'm telling you what my experiments just showed me, at least. |
| 22:18 | mk01 | wrexem: |
| 22:18 | mk01 | root@xbian:/sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0# grep . temp trip_point_0_temp trip_point_1_temp |
| 22:18 | mk01 | temp:33864 |
| 22:18 | mk01 | trip_point_0_temp:95000 |
| 22:18 | mk01 | trip_point_1_temp:100000 |
| 22:18 | mk01 | shouldn't bail out before hitting 95 |
