OK I might need to apologise lol. Ps3 controller showing under Bluetooth settings but my battery has died. Will test later. Is that how you connect the controller?

Unfortunately the 1080p 24hz setting is not working properly. Audio is totally missing with HDMI passthrough when running with this setting. Audio works as expected when running for example in 1080p 60hz mode.

Hello,

I have the Vega S89H, playing HD video on the XBMC stops after about 20 minutes (even files of ~3mbps cause that) .

The S89H is connected via Ethernet to my network.
I'm working with HDMI 1080P 60hz.

I'd really want to make it work.
TIA for any help.

Hi,

Thank you for keep updating the firmware.
I have the Tronsmart Vega s89 Standard 16GB. I have updated my device with this latest firmware.
I cannot play 3D.SBS movie as 2D in XBMC to my non-3D TV (the video keep shown as side-by-side even if i chose to show as 2D), but with the same version of XBMC for window, I can play it as 2D movie. Please help..

Thanx in advance.

Hi

Sorry to hear your problem. We will try to help, please let me know:
1 which xbmc version are you using? the stock one, or the one you installed?
2 which format video are you playing?MP4 RMVB or what others?
3 do you have the same problem when you play via the stock player, not the xbmc?

Hi,

1. Tried the stock version of 107K4, upgraded XBMC to:
http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.php/2014/07/15/xbmc-apk-for-tronsmart-vega-s89-series-and-m8-square-s802-box/

then flashed the firmware to 108K4, used the stock XBMC to 108K4 version.

Same issue on all.

2. MKV file, Video/Audio details are:
- Video bit rate is 9546 Kbps x264

- Audio bit rate 1510 Kbps DTS

3. What do you mean by the "stock player" the MXPlayer?
I don't know how to access a file on my Network from the android it self, most SMB
clients I've tried only allow to download the file.

I tried the "Media Center" app, first option DMP, found my desktop and shares, when I click MKV file, it crashes. avi (xvid) files played ok (20sec)

--- I've encountered a new issue, watched TV episode (streamed from internet) lost sound after ~30 minutes picture was still displayed fin, disconnected the HDMI cable and plugged it back to the Tronsmart fixed it.

interesting, what does the full mediainfo http://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo
say about these files and what happens when you re-code them for mp4 container +aac codec.

(still waiting for my s89 and related kit to ship after a week, so cant test right now OC)
------------------------------------------
FOR %%A in ("*.mkv") DO (

ffmpeg.exe -threads 0 -i "%%A" -f mp4 -vcodec libx264 -crf 16 -minrate 900k -maxrate 2100k -bufsize 2100k -refs 3 -preset slow -vprofile high -strict -2 -acodec aac -ac 2 -ab 192k -vf yadif,hqdn3d,unsharp=5:5:0.5,gradfun "%%~nA.MP4"

)

REM -vf yadif -vf gradfun -vf hqdn3d -vf unsharp=5:5:0.5,setdar=16:9

pause

----------------------

save as ffmpeg-2100k-slow.bat in the place you keep your mkv's along with ffmpeg there... and just double click the bat when you want to encode these mk's

as regards 3: streaming windows samba/cifs/SMB shares etc

your simplest option is to just use the rather good
Archos Video Player https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.archos.mediacenter.video&hl=en_GB

and its inbuilt cifs/SMB code, and it makes good use of these 2 gig ram devices too along with the option to use mx player and its external NEON SIMD library as its player if installed for those audio tracks that dont play in generic AVP ( AVP being for all intents and purposes a ffmpeg player wrapper).

next simplest is installing "total commander" and its network/cifs/lan plug-in https://play.google.com/store/search?q=total%20commander&c=apps&hl=en_GB

finally you can install one of the Cifs modules (there dont seem to be many generic Cifs modules made for android which is odd really...). so any app can use that for its \lan192.168.0.whatever connection...

its not even a chip problem eric, roy its a software problem with the android XBMC not having all the patches that work on windows, report it to the XBMC dev's....

the usual way to do this is to take the stereo (not really 3D) video and use MakeMKV http://www.makemkv.com/download/ on the original stereo side by side video tracks and re-code one of makemkv video tracks to a generic single video +acc inside an mkv or mp4 container

a 3D.SBS inside the transport stream container is in effect two video tracks inside the container ,hence why you sometimes see 2D and others 2 side by side images depending on the player used, the windows 3D.SBS to 2D works by stripping the second stream off before its displayed the android version must be missing some patches so needs reporting so they can fix it.

roy, i cant give you an exact ffmpeg/avconv line to use to make these stereo video's into a 2d recode but it involves" -map 0:0 -map 0:2" depending on your mediainfo output on these files

you will probably see inside the makemkv mkv file two video streams with a different mapping for each, choose one and remap that and your audio to make another mkv or mp4 container

for instance this will remap another audio stream other than the first one , adapt t as needed for remapping one of the two video files streams

you can also just copy the streams rather than re-code them but its better to understand the process so ill keep the working audio remapping here for your reference

-----------------------------

FOR %%A in ("*.mkv") DO (

avconv.exe -threads 4 -i "%%A" -f mp4 -vcodec libx264 -crf 18 -minrate 800k -maxrate 1800k -bufsize 1800k -refs 3 -preset slower -vprofile high -flags2 -bpyramid -wpredp 0 -strict experimental -acodec aac -ac 2 -ab 192k -map 0:0 -map 0:2 -vf gradfun,hqdn3d,unsharp=5:5:0.5 "%%%~nA.MP4"

)

REM -vf yadif -vf gradfun -vf hqdn3d -vf unsharp=5:5:0.5,setdar=16:9

108K4 FIRMWARE works great
Only issue with tronsmart vega s89 is it's internal wifi antenna it's range it very low,
Can I use USB WiFi Wireless Network Card ?? like
http://www.geekbuying.com/item/Mini-150Mbps-USB-WiFi-Wireless-Network-Card-802-11-n-g-b-LAN-Adapter-with-5dBi-Antenna-319206.html

Will it work??

its an interesting point and in theory all you need is the right wireless code base to compile a wireless module and copy its working firmware to the right directory for the given chip inside, however iv noticed that geekbuying vendors don't seem to provide the required wireless chip information and links to the FLOSS code so you have to take pot luck and hope the chip is covered.

in my case ,given no current vendor seems willing to make and sell a generic quad/octacore cortex device that included [UK] DVB-T2 and/or DVB-S2 integrated chip, so i too am looking for the easiest way to compile these usb wireless/dvb/whatever 3rd party chips i buy, and make loadable modules for loading at run time on the provided current s89 android/linux kernel version.....

eric whats the simplest pre-configured linux live cd for the given android version you currently supply with all the dev tools pre-configured to generate any needed FLOSS modules , and whats the simplest way to load these generated kernel modules permanently ?

Eric,
so is there any workaround?. Any way I can increase Wi-Fi signal strength?.
I have a N router placed in another room and still it will show
2 bar in wifi, device will not connect to internet. Network and internet only
work If I see 3 bar, that only come when router is in same room, that’s too bad
signal strength, while my iphone, ipod and Nexus 7 tab manage to take same router
signal even outside of my house; 3 time more range.

I installed the firmware - no problems. However, when using Beyond XBMC, the video seems to jitter every 30 mins for approx 30 secs; while audio seems to be fine. Anyone else getting this issue? How to solve it?
