Struggling to find a decent s905x box 
It seems like the Nexbox A95X and Nexbox A5 are decent ones but nowhere has any for sale except for a few on ebay which I am unsure are real Nexbox or cheap copies.
Really don’t want to buy a Nvidia Sheild :s

I have to unfortunately announce the audio sync/lag bug is still present in the 1.9 build. I was hoping it was squashed.
In case anyone doesn’t know of the bug, the audio gradually falls out of sync with the video, usually with HEVC streams and not with H.264 streams. Stopping and restarting the video re-sync’s things but they will gradually fall out of sync again, especially if you pause the video and unpause it.
Is that just on the Odroid C2 ? Or does it affect all s905 / s905x devices ?
If you read the RasPlex forums you’ll see tons of posts concerning it and it’s been going on for almost a year. Given the number of people who’ve reported it I would imagine it extends beyond just one type of device.
However, based on what I’ve seen with my own setup, the problem seems to happen when playing HEVC content and not H.264 content. Could be it happens with H.264 and I haven’t noticed since I’ve converted most of my library to HEVC.
I have three embedded players: two ODroid C2’s and one semi-retired RPi2+. The latter can’t play HEVC @ 1080p so it’s been converted to a RetroPie setup. I never noticed the audio drift problem on the RPi but then again I never played HEVC content on it either.
I also seem to recall one of the RasPlex developers stating they were aware of the issue and the entire audio subsystem required rewriting to address it. But that was almost a year ago if I recall correctly. No idea where the “fix” stands now.

Stange ive used rasplex exclusively for years and never really had any problems.
Obviously everything was x264 or h264.
I wouldnt have thought the raspberry pi would have enough power to play hevc stuff anyway because of the lack of h265 hardware decoder.
Your odroid c2 has h265 hardware decoding though right ?
Thanks for keeping openPHT alive, I just ordered this box.
What a pleasant surprise! I have a NUC7i5BNH gathering dust waiting for a build of LibreELEC/OpenPHT that can handle passthrough audio. Can’t wait to try the x86 version of this release!
Update 4/13/18: I installed the Generic x86 version of this release on the NUC. Unfortunately, the Kaby Lake passthrough audio problems persist. After looking into this further, it seems that the LibreELEC patch for this won’t be pushed until version 9.0 is released.

It does which makes the problem all the more bizarre.

Cec working good hdr working good and if atmos working on the libreelec in this build must working 2 bcs all libraries are from last build of libreelec
Are you aware of the audio sync/lag issue? If so, do you have any ideas about what’s required to fix it?
Hi awesome job on this! I’m really surprised nobody has asked but is there a build (or a plan) for the rockchip (RK3229) v88 boxes or will one of these builds work on them? TIA!
Does this update look at the new collections feature and VC-1 codex jitter?

I tried it and it still does have the VC-1 jitter

Oh that’s unfortunate… I’ve installed it and will try it out tonight
Great to see that the development is not dead. But i fail to see the benefits of upgrading to 1.9. Can someone post a changelog pls?
thx
I tried this on a mecool m8s pro l s912 box. It boots but pht never starts. Stuck at the splash screen showing libreelec build number.
SSH does not work. Can I access any relevant logs in this state?
*edit: i found this thread discussing the same problem:
Seems i’ll have to wait
Does anyone know if it is already possible to build version 2.0 from https://github.com/RasPlex/OpenPHT-Embedded/tree/openpht-2.0 ?

If someone will give me some tips on how to compile this I’ll try it. Plex for Kodi is OK but I prefer OpenPHT far better…if the audio lag issue wasn’t so annoying.

Ok, I builded it, but it’s not really working yet.

What’s not working? Is there anything I can help test?
Last night loaded up openpht 1.9.0 on my first ever odroid - Openpht loads nicely and 4k playback with all audio formats passthrough working.
I do, however, notice that the picture quality is a bit off, colors are washed out with a slight greenish tint. blacks are more greyish that PMP on my NUC:
I tried fiddling around in settings but I can’t fint any setting that lets me change color space or something like that…
Anyone else notice this or maybe someone can point me in the right direction?

Keep in mind the ODroid C2 doesn’t support HDR output. Since most 4K stuff is HDR it will look washed out when played through the C2. There is no way to correct it.
Try watching non-4K stuff on your C2 and see if you notice a difference. I’ve got 1.9.0 running on one of my C2’s (the other is running Plex for Kodi as a test) and the colors are fine on non-HDR content.
