RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - lmyllari - 2013-11-18 (2013-11-18, 08:23)gamble Wrote: Xandr works for me as u statedJust checking - you're not using the same color profile for full RGB? That would explain the crushed blacks. VA-API should not affect black levels, only colors. I'm not currently using nightly. I tried the two latest ones (to get multithreading), but xbmc won't even start. I think it was 16358 that I used for testing 16..235. I'm on 3.2.3 with VA-API disabled, but playback is limited to files that can be handled by a single core or can be handled by slice mt. Until we get a VA-API driver fix, or frame mt in xbmc (either a Gotham based OE nightly, or a backport), I'll be limited to 720p and will use my bluray for everything else. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - gamble - 2013-11-18 In the beginning i didnt change the color profile so my sightings that i described last post were all made on my Standart Profile, i calibrated my TV once and use this settings for all my devices When set to Full-RGB it wouldnt make sense to calibrate it since due to the crushed Blacks the lost details wont come back even if i make the image "brighter" BUT on Limited-RGB i can tune the "brightness" down to make the greyish black again with all details available..problem is i dont get the calibration spot on, it is enough for watching my stuff on the TV, but when watching via my beamer i use my BR-Player for playback.. VA-API just effects colors u say...hmm..ok and how do u guys then handle the crushed blacks and lost details, thats my biggest concern for now.. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - Ravetrancer - 2013-11-18 Imyllari, could you please explain how to xandr step by step? Im a total noob and dont understand squat of all this. Where do i write the code? I dont have a autostart.sh, should i create one under /storage? I have nightly but i cant find the range setting 16-255. Please explain it little more.

First, the RGB range is not signaled to the monitor. I'm just catching up here, but didn't you say you have a 500M? It's a known bug of the 500M that it doesn't switch to limited RGB correctly, so possibly that's the effect you're seeing here? RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - Crssi - 2013-11-18 (2013-11-18, 12:38)Ravetrancer Wrote: Imyllari, could you please explain how to xandr step by step? http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php?title=Autostart.sh RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - gamble - 2013-11-18 First thing u need to do is log on your NUC via ssh and generate a Startup Script as described here : http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php?title=Autostart.sh Here is step by step how to do it on a Mac.. Go to the Terminal, from there type : ssh [email protected] (IP of ur NUC) Then it will ask u for the password, which is : openelec You should be logged in now. Then type like stated in the Guide above : echo "#!/bin/sh" > /storage/.config/autostart.sh && chmod +x /storage/.config/autostart.sh This command makes the autostart.sh available and puts it in the right directory. Next Command then is : nano /storage/.config/autostart.sh This should open up a new window (The Autostart.sh). In the first line u should see : #!/bin/sh Under this u write this command : DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output HDMI1 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full" So in the End it should look like this : #!/bin/sh DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output HDMI1 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full" Then Press CTRL+X, it will ask to safe, type Y (yes) and then press enter. Now u should be back in the Terminal, still logged on ur Nuc....just Type "exit" and close the Terminal. Reboot ur NUC now and black should be (too) black again.

Thanks. Noteworthy:
RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - Crssi - 2013-11-18 Since I still didnt got my SSD (and will not for the next 2 weeks ), is there any easy way to get Gotham nightly devel on USB like OE 3.2.3 to test it? RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - gamble - 2013-11-18 Can u give me a direct link to the Nightly that works so i can test when i get home in 30 mins ? thanx RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - -DDD- - 2013-11-18 (2013-11-18, 16:01)Crssi Wrote: Since I still didnt got my SSD (and will not for the next 2 weeks ), is there any easy way to get Gotham nightly devel on USB like OE 3.2.3 to test it? Sure, its the same like with an SSD. @ gamble: Shoult be this one: http://sources.openelec.tv/tmp/image/OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-devel-20131109194305-r16358.tar or http://sources.openelec.tv/tmp/image/OpenELEC-Generic.i386-devel-20131109195428-r16358.tar RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - gamble - 2013-11-18 Oh, i just looked for the Intel builds and could´t find it, cheers edit. Ok as stated before im pretty new to all this and pretty happy to come this far...enough problems occurred.. So for Backup it is enough to get a Copy of my Userdata folder, and when the Nightly Experiment doesnt work out i just install frodo again and copy back my user data folder...right? And one more thing...can i install the nightly and use my frodo Userdata Folder on the Gotham Alpha too, or is this not going to work? RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - Mangoes - 2013-11-18 (2013-11-18, 17:08)gamble Wrote: Oh, i just looked for the Intel builds and could´t find it, cheers Yes and yes. Plus I don't think you need to copy the user data folder back (but you can if you want to keep safe). Anyway, I will absolutely not go back to frodo, gotham runs well enough. The few minor bugs are not an issue, and gotham brings so many needed features (new ffmpeg with 6.1 FLAC audio support and more, the new forced subtitles auto switching depending on audio language that just got merged, etc...) The gotham builds maintain compatibility with frodo (they keep older frodo entries in the database so you can go back).

Can you check the Basic Settings/1-Black Clipping.mp4 from avshd709 and compare to full range output from another device? Maybe your TV is doing something funny with it? (2013-11-18, 13:30)Diapason Wrote:That's what I initially thought too. I had read about that bug when I set up an nvidia based system a few years ago.(2013-11-16, 07:41)lmyllari Wrote: There are two problems as far as I can see. First, the RGB range is not signaled to the monitor. I am now thinking though that the 500m just assumes full range on RGB signal if there are no infoframes indicating otherwise (this would make sense to support PCs that might be just using a DVI->HDMI adapter). My bluray player is able to signal to the 500m which RGB range it's using - when I switch between limited and full range output, the black levels don't change, but I can confirm that the output level changed by setting the input range manually on the monitor. Anyway, since I don't have other equipment to test, I'd like other people's experience to see if it's working for anybody. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - Alchete - 2013-11-18 lmyllari, does your BluRay play MP4s natively? Is that how you're testing these patterns on it? Or did you burn your own bluray disc? My BluRay player won't play MP4s. My next option is to put those files onto a USB stick and try to play them directly from my television.

You could try if your player takes AVCHD from USB or DVD? That should be supported by most players I think. |
