What’s the upgrade procedure on the embedded build? Currently on 1.5.2 on my NUC. Is it a wipe and reinstall from scratch at the moment?
I’m not sure if internal update was implemented as yet for embedded OpenPHT v1.5.2. I would check this by going into the submenu ‘Preferences > System(cogwheel) > Software update’ and look for the command “Check for update now…” If that command is present and not ‘greyed out’, then the internal update may work.
Otherwise you’d better start over by first flashing the latest installer for embedded OpenPHT to a USB drive, and then using this to install the new OpenPHT version to your NUC.
In newer OpenPHT versions you will definitely be able to use the internal update command. I just tested this myself doing a successful update from v1.6.2.121 to the latest v1.6.2.123.

Just wanted to say thanks. Moved over to OpenPHT on OS X after using RasPlex with much success and have had no hiccups release to release.
You guys rock, just keeps getting better and better
What about live TV for the Wetek Play?
Not supported.

Is UI in 2160p or 1080p on Odroid?

The UI of the default skin is 720p (then upscaled and stretched to the size of your display). The default skin is the same on all versions of OpenPHT / Rasplex.

Interesting, still fonts etc. look like 1080p and not 720p on my current setup, that can’t output to 2160p. From what you write it seems that UI will be actually rendered in 2160p. I’m just curious because i read somewhere on odroid forums that they are rendering xbmc to 1080p and only 2160p videos are then send as 2160p to display because hardware is not powerful enough to render UI in 2160p.
That may be true regarding Odroid – that would be for @kwiboo to answer.
And yes, it’s a little complicated but that’s basically how it works – the skin is drawn in a viewport in an aspect ratio and resolution set by the skin (720p 16:9 for the default skin, 1080p 16:9 for Nox – but technically could be anything, although the skin has to be designed for the definition). The skin stuff is laid out in that viewport then upscaled (and stretched if the screen is not 16:9 or 16:10 [16:10 has a weird hack definition in the default skin to prevent stretching]) and then images and fonts are rendered at the output resolution. So the 720p nature of the default skin isn’t terribly noticeable, mostly that is affected by images embedded into the skin itself (most noticely the “grain” image overlay, which is 1280x720, and is fairly noticeable upscaled to 1080p). As long as the output resolution is a 16:9 aspect ratio, the upscaling isn’t terribly noticeable.
Hi
I can not launch the 1.6.2.123 release in mac os 10.7.5. Any clue?
This release strugles very much with HEVC files. I can play them find as long as I don’t fast forward (i can fast forward maybe 10 minutes) or resume. Openpht will just close and I have to restart it.
Windows 10 64-bit.
@cloudstrife78 Starting from 1.6.2 there is now a preference option to control direct play of HEVC, Network -> Quality -> Direct Play HEVC up to, suggest you change this option if your computer have problems playing HEVC files.

The setting is at unlimited. My computer is new and vlc does not have any trouble playing the files. Openpht doesn’t have any problem playing the file, I can watch series all I like, but with resume and ff I get problem. Especially resume. Sometimes I can ff just fine. Maybe someone other can try to resume and ff some HEVC files? Openpht 1.6.2 and win10 x64
@cloudstrife78 Does it change any bahaviour if you disable Allow hardware acceleration - DXVA2 in preferences -> playback -> advanced video?

With DXVA2 disabled (unticked) everything works fine. Can resume. As fast as i enable it again, the resume a video just crashes openpht and return you to the windows desktop.
So without DXVA enabled, the desktop renders video using software instead of in hardware?
I was so irritated when PHT stopped working like I wanted to, irritated when I had to install OpenPHT.
Now that the bad is out of the way all I can is fantastic! Should have paid attention and switched sooner it rocks!
Boost center channel when downmixing has solved all of my “can’t hear em, jack up the volume” issues, brilliant thought here.
Yeah, this is pretty bad a$$. Thank God for people that can keep alive the stuff I love.
OpenPHT is only Plex client worthy of a HTPC. I finally finished after 3 years of building my theater room - i tried on new HTPC PMP running on 120" screen. After 2 minutes of disappointment - I installed OpenPHT. Fast and smooth UI, great playback my theater is complete. Thank you.
Music plays, finish the song then openPHT quits and goes to desktop, it does not play next songs just one at a time.
Any ideas, suggestions, tweeks well appreciated.
George.
Just gotta say, I just updated to the latest (pre) build and it’s such an improvement. Watching anime’s I previously had to use Plex Media Player in order to watch it, and I’m 99% sure it was because of the ref frames being at 16 (as I had encoded a show and used that not realizing that was the default with handbrake and when I corrected it to 4 it worked properly). Anyway, with the latest update I was able to play the anime without any issues.
Also, watching the next episode of a show I’ve been watching (my DVD rip of The Fresh Prince) it looks much better. Even though when I ripped my DVDs I basically did the best quality, when watching with the previous version of openPHT I was on, there would be random compression issues like areas of the video “smearing” or not looking as shop. Watching with the latest build, it’s just like watching the actual DVD.
So, just want to say thanks so much for doing this and keeping PHT alive with openPHT.
