RadeonHD V.5 driver

It will happen on pretty much any video. A good one to use it the Sintel video.
I've found it happens less if I play it from the hard drive and happens more often if I play it out of RAM: or from a USB connected drive. Last time I tried the Sintel video froze at about 14 minutes. Sometimes it freezes sooner.

Thanks. It's good to know it's not just me. Now that I've verified it's not just me I'll sumit a bug report.

Tried MickJT-Mplayer-altivec with Sintel.2010.720p.mkv and Sintel-1280-surround.mp4, both from SSD/SFS2. No freeze. The first one says "your system is too slow", second is OK.
Try mplayer with -v parameter to look for more infos.

@ktadd

Do you have your graphics card in the first or the second long slot (or the third one if we count small ones as well) ? Do you have any NVMe card ? I don't remember having this freeze issue a while ago but only recently. I think I started to get it after moveing the graphics card to the second slot and using an NVMe card. Well, I'm using the beta system usually. I'll have to swap cards around to see if that makes any difference some day.

Hi everyone.

I have a problem with the RadeonHD V.5 driver.
I have two graphic cards mounted in the X1000:
GFX 1) Radeon HIS4670 1GB DDR3 (seen as "Radeon RV730")
GFX 2) Radeon R9 280X (seen as "Radeon HD 7900 Series")

The GFX 1 is attached to an old monitor with max 1024x768 res (MONITOR 1).
The GFX 2 is attached to an ultrawide modern monitor with max 3840x1600 res (MONITOR 2).

RadeonHD V3 supports both gfx cards.
RadeonHD V5 supports only the GFX 2.

If I boot with RadeonHD V3, i can open screens on gfx1 and on gfx 2.
I can push the GFX2 up to 3520x1440x48Hz.

If I boot with RadeonHD V5, the GFX 1 is not detected (as expected), but the GFX2 only displays correctly at resolutions up to 1680 x1050.
Resolutions over 1050 lines (even those that display correctly with Radeon V3) are displayed squashed vertically.

Where should I report this malfunction?

Hi Hans,
I tried to login on A-EON Technology's bug tracker but my old account seems blocked.

I tried to reset the password of the old account but i receive the message:"the maximum number of pending requests has been reached".

I tried to register as a new user with a different email but i never received the confirmation email.

Could you help me unblock the situation and restore my account?

I can't directly, because I'm not an admin, but I'll see if I can get the attention of someone who can.

Sorry to bring this again, but is there any chance (software or hardware hack) to bring sound over HDMI? The Apollo Core V4+ SA and the MiSTer FPGA both have output on the HDMI cable on the Amiga cores and I make excellent video recording from them, also I can use directly the display, without the need for external speakers or audio embedders.
On the AmigaOne I use separate 3.5 mm cable for the audio, with analog signal recording and background noise, which is clearly heard, because I need to amplify the volume to at least +12 dB.

@drHirudo

Audio over HDMI is unlikely to happen any time soon.

Geennaam and I did have a go at getting it working, and discovered that AMD never did get audio working in the original display mode setting code. To use audio, we'd have to switch to AMD's new DC module for mode setting, which is rather oversized (IIRC, the entire nvidia driver is a fraction the size). I'm NOT looking forward to wading through that code...

@drHirudo

Yes, I had similar problems, there are some DVI + Audio to HDMI converters. You can buy one.
I own one but there was problem support all video modes.

@LiveForIt

I've such devices. The output audio signal you are getting from the Amiga is still analog, even if you are converting it to digital. I've spend more than 6,000 € on hardware, to be able to record AmigaOne in high quality, only to see that with 300 € laptop and QEMU you can achieve better result in the Audio recording of AmigaOS 4 and AmigaOne.

Thank you, Hans!

Do somebody know, if RadeonHD v5 for Sam460 is still available?

I tried to purchase it from Amistore application ( on Sam ), I can select it and put in shopping bag.
But if I go to shopping bag, it is empty.

Pls, any help...

I want to make some tests with my Sam460LE.

@sailor

Its available from the Amigakit website

https://www.amigakit.com/radeonhd-driver-version-p-1107.html

@sailor

If you buy it then you should have it on AEON's Updater too IIRC.
Or the problem is that you can't finalize the payment?


radeonHD v5:
REQUIREMENTS
------------
- A supported graphics card:
- Radeon R7 250/250X/265
- Radeon R9 270/270X/280/280X
- AmigaOS 4.1
- An AmigaOne-X1000 (with the latest firmware), or an AmigaOne-500 (or Sam460ex)

@derfs
thanks, I will try this like last stance.

@jabirulo
Problem is with AmiStore app and RadeonHD-Sam460 only:
I can select RadeonHD-Sam460, put into basket, but after that - when I open the basket - it disappears from basket.
If I select others ( like NovaBridge or even RadeonHDX5000 ), it remains in basket normally and I can continue to checkout...

If you read what I posted earlier in this post (have now deleted it), please do not try this. I ended up with a high account balance, but no software after paying.

@sailor
I confirm the problem. I've got the same issue. But a solution for that is quite simple and worked for me.
1. Open A-Eon Technology www.a-eon.com
2. Click on RadeonHD V5 Licences Available
3. Choose an HW that indicates the driver you want to buy.
4. You will be transferred to the PayPal site and you know what to do next. :)
5. Check your email you should get a PDF file with the Key.
If your email is empty. You need to drop an email to support@amigakit.com, they will help.
6. Register driver via amispher.com (Amistore registration will not work)
7. "Almost there, almost there... Use the Force Luke..." Now you can download the driver for your Amiga via Updater. :)

Sorry for step by step like solution but a wall of text will be messy.
This is the only way I could find to buy the driver for my SAM460LE.
I hope it will help!

@RadziN

thank you!
I am just now on the stage 5. I am waiting for email...
