RE: Raspberry Pi [HTPC] - Wonder if this will work out for XBMC?? - fersingb - 2012-09-14

Hi,

I'm currently using raspbmc and I've some sound issues. When I start playing a H264/AAC file, the sound is distorded for the first seconds of the movie. Sam, the raspbmc dev, told me that's an XBMC issue. Can you confirm? Do you know how to fix it?

I've a similar issue while playing music files. The sound stutters or is distorded for the first 3-4s.

Thanks.
Boris

What USB wireless adapters may work? What about the eBay cheapies like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/USB-Mini-Wireless-Slim-WiFi-802-11N-150Mbps-Adapter-/251131874334?pt=UK_Computing_USB_Wi_Fi_Adapters_Dongles&hash=item3a78a04c1e

Thanks for the advice. Do you know if openelec supports bluetooth input devices with the official image? Or will I have to build my own image?

hey all!

for some reason my raspbmc is giving me nothing but errors every time i try to run something on it. I get "web request denied" every time I try to access a stream through things like sportsdevil, and I get script errors on most addons, even those that other raspbmc users have said they had working fine (like bluecop's hulu, realhulu, etc). Any idea what's going on? I literally cannot get a single addon to function.

Newbie here...

Got xbmc running on openelec last night. Added my video source (NAS) and test playback which was awesome. I don't recall EXACTLY what else I changed in settings but it was minor (time, overscan, etc). Using the default skin. I have since power-cycled and now after xbmc starts I am hung with the "bubbles" on the screen and no index. Same thing after subsequent reboots. Wondering where to go from here.

it is maybe some libraries / database problems. don't allow libraries updates at the start. you could ssh into the pi and remove the sources, to see if that helps...

Thank you, the updates were the problem. All good so far....although when the device goes into power save mode (screen dims) it doesn't recover properly (screen stays dim). Everything is functional, but can't see until the device is rebooted. Anyone??

Open Source ARM userland

"the first ARM-based multimedia SoC with fully-functional, vendor-provided (as opposed to partial, reverse engineered) fully open-source drivers, and that Broadcom is the first vendor to open their mobile GPU drivers up in this way."

Hi guys
Is it possible to downmix the highest AC3, DTS, DTS-MA of bluray x264 rip smoothly from USB disks?
Sam, what about e.g. RC5?
Thank you
