@Spectre660

Thanks for all your efforts in troubleshooting our problems, it is much appreciated.

@all

It seems Hans De Ruiter has found a solution to UVD playback problems that some of us experience.

First tests on X5000+RX560 and A1222+RX550 looks promising.

@All

Currently testing a Yeston 560RX on a Sam460CR.
Nova and video acceleration via Emotion working.

Cheers

@daveyw

Happy to help were I can.

@TiredOfLife

Sweet .

I'd seem that Yeston RX550 version worked for you so thought it was worth a gamble on the RX560.
Not very scientific I know.

As well as taking advantage of the video acceleration, it's a single slot unlike the the Radeon HD7770 I was using previously, uses less power and is quieter

@TiredOfLife

Been looking at the RX560 single slot model too.
But I have may too many unused video cards sitting around.

Have not heard yet of an RX 550 or RX 560 card that has not worked with the Sam460ex yet so you were safe all the time.

@TiredOfLife

great news. what's the wattage?

@NinjaCyborg

about 50w

@Spectre660

That's good to know.

@ NinjaCyborg

50 watts.

Too bad it stopped working, was a neat little program, back to looking for substitute then

@Spectre660

Since setting the Power prefs to "High" and saving it, Emotion can handle this video with sound perfectly. I can move the window around while it's playing. Also plays this video in full screen perfectly.

I need to get the CPU docky to see if it's stressing the CPU at all. But it doesn't seem to be.

Sapphire RX550, 4GB, shows as Polaris 12
X5000/20

@TiredOfLife

Is this the Yeston card with the purple shield covering the board? I need a better card in my WIndoze box, and I'm thinking I could take the RX550 out of the Amiga and put it in my Windoze computer (which is running graphics from the Trinity APU) and put the Yeston RX560 in the Amiga. I can get the Yeston from Newegg.

Paul

Regarding that Yeston RX 560 (purple shield - single slot) i've read that this card becomes very hot and users had to lower the clock rates in order to achieve stable results. The cooling system of this card seems to be maxed out with an RX 550 chip.

@Paul

It is.
It looks identical to the RX 550 in that respect.

Cheers

@IamSONIC

Interesting, I hadn't seen that.
I suppose the answer is not to set the graphics card to full power unless it's needed.

Maybe an issue if it is needed for any length of time.
Unfortunately I've got nothing to test the temp in my setup.


Cheers

RadeonRX.chip Driver
--------------------

Version 1.16 2020/01/07
- Fixed a crash in the shutdown callback. Ctrl+Alt+Alt hard resets
now work again

Version 1.15 2019/11/19

- Added reset hooks to improve chance that soft-reset works (NOTE:
Still a matter of luck, though, as these cards don't like soft-resets)

I have wirtten down some notes about Enhancer 2.0:

- Archiver: if I enter a path in the "Destination" string gadget, it does not create a new drawer automatically, as does the default system utility Unarc. it is very convenient to have the option for an automatically created drawer. (And while at it, please add the option to create a drawer with/without icon)
- Archiver: does not offer the option to assign a default destination dir where the archive should be unarchived to. e.g. UnArc tooltypes (DESTINATION=)
- Archiver: A tooltypes option for Archiver to open at certain coordinates and Window Size would be very handy (See UnArc tooltypes)
- Archiver does not change to the actual Tab when drag&dropping an archive to its AppWindow. IMHO there should be at least an option in the preferences to change focus to the new Tab.
- Archiver Tabs appear to be a kind of unuseful, when it is unarchiving a big archive, the GUI is blocked. It is not possible to change to another TAB and continue working.
- Archiver: IMHO the keyboard shortcuts are a little unconventional; e.g. "l" for "select all"? Why does it not stay close to system style and use "a"?
- Archiver: IMHO, the GUI needs an overhaul. The "Open" button is mispositioned.
- Archiver: in the Compress window: - does not show a list with the files which are to be compressed.
- - the Destination and File-name string gadgets are not editable.

- InfoWB: Please add the option "CREATEICON=ASK" either in tooltypes or as a setting. Sometimes I'd just like to add a comment to a file, and the extra step to reopen the InfoWB window and delete the info is cumbersome.
- infoWB: Actually all of the Tooltypes offered in RAWBInfo are usefull, size of window, posistion of the window, etc..
- InfoWB: The default tools for "default tool" can not be changed or added.
- InfoWB: The option to "SHIFT" click to toggle a tooltype on or off is dearly missed.
- infoWB: There is a significant lag between requesting the "info" window and the window acutally opening. It feels soo.. windowsy.

- Most of the new commands in C do not have an proper documentation for the Keywords they use.

- Utilities/Clock: either a bug in the LOCALE variable or in Clock, my Locale is set to Austria the date format is "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM.SS" but "Clock" is stubbornly showing "HH:MM:SS Weekday, DD. Month YYYY"
- The documentation for Utilities/Clock does not explain the possible Tooltypes and its options.

- Exchanger: Enhancement request: show the keyboard shortcut (hotkey) for the selected commodity in the "information box" e.g. Name: ClipViewer Description: Cliboard History manager State: Enabled Hotkey: "ctr alt x"

@Amigo1
You need to write all of this as separate bug tickets on the http://www.amiga.org/developer/bugreports/ , or it will simple forgotten in the dust of forum posts.
