Nvidia Shield + Litchi 2.3.1 problems

Cynical · Feb 9, 2016

Hi guys!
I just finally solved so that i have a Phantom 3 Pro on FW 1.4.
I also managed to get help from Litchi so that i have version 2.3.1

My problem is that on my Nvidia shield tablet, i can open the Litchi without problem.
But if i startup my controller, then litchi it crashed staight away.

Anyone have similar issues and found a solution? I cant get Llitchi to work without instant crash when started my Phantom controller.

Which Nvidia Shield? What is the Android OS version? What is Litchi configuration for video decoding set to and have you tried them all with same result? What happens if you start the RC first before connecting USB to tablet? etc., etc., etc....

I suspect you're on Android 6.0. In which case you'll need to check android 6.0 encoding and all will be well. Having said that your Shields compass won't work on 6.0. That may or may not be an issue for you depending on how you fly.

Yeah im on 6.0.
How do i solve encodings?
Why wont compass work? Can I somehow solve that too?

If you go in to 'camera' on the app, then click on video decoding you'll see an option for hw android 6.0, use that and it won't crash anymore. The compass issue on 6.0 is not fixable until they release a patch for it I'm afraid. I downgraded back down to lollipop because of this.

I can live with downgraded android.
What version should i look for =P

Hugh thanx for the help. Gonna try this now.

Hmm one question.
Did you mean that i should open the normal camera app and change settings?
Cant find any settings at all lol.

And in Litchi under Camera. If i change decoding i can only pick Hardware or Software.

Wacker2611 · Feb 9, 2016

What version of Litchi are you on. Mines 2.71 which has 3 options....Hardware, software and hardware 6.0.

Cynical · Feb 9, 2016

I have 2.3.1 (for no height limit) dont need it in sweden and in the area where i live.
Accually.. i bought this without knowing they implented the limits

Just trying to fix it now so i can use it the way i intended lol

Wacker2611 · Feb 9, 2016

There's always a way!

Cynical · Feb 9, 2016

Hmm right now im stucked.
I only have hardware and software as options. And both keps crashing

Wacker2611 · Feb 9, 2016

Well, I can only suggest that you upgrade Litchi, 500 metres isn't exactly low is it?

Or ideally, if you must fly higher, downgrade to lollipop.

Yep, that's exactly right... the version of Litchi that you (OP) insist on using to bypass the DJI altitude restrictions didn't have support for Android 6.0 video encoding yet...

Cynical · Feb 10, 2016

Ok. So downgrade to lollipop is my last shot to get this to work.
Hope its not to complicated

sorry to add to the confusion. I have a new NVIDIA shield K1 and running the usual DJI app. Updated firmware etc.

I was hoping to get the Litchi app to run on my Phantom 3. Is there a problem with this? Are there versions I should avoid?

Thanks

Not really. What version of android are you using?

As Wacker said stay on Lollipop and use latest Litchi.

Cynical · Feb 10, 2016

Oh ****... thought id made it.
Downgraded to Lollipop. Theres a good video on the tube on how to do it.

Installed Litchi 2.3.1 and ran it. I can get it to run now. But cant connect the aircraft.
Disconnected is all i get. Press it.. it searches. But cant connect =/

Any clues?
