RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - doveman2 - 2014-01-15

I've got a bit of an issue with playing 25fps content, such as iPlayer 1280x720 downloads. My TV switches to 1080p/25hz mode fine but there's a thin green vertical line down the right-hand edge, which is rather distracting and might even be bad for my Plasma TV if I were to watch a lot of this sort of content.

Adjusting the calibration to extend out the bottom right corner doesn't shift it and although my TV has an Overscan setting which might push it out of sight, this is locked out when it switches to 25hz mode so I can't use that either. I'm pretty sure at the end of the day it's an issue with the content and I seem to recall I used to see the same thing on my previous TV with some live TV (might have been BBC) when the programme was 4:3, so in a frame. I think then I could hide it by stretching/zooming to 16:9 to push it off the edge and it was only because in 4:3 the "edge" was actually quite a bit inset from the actual edge of the TV that things like this became visible.

On the latest android version I get similar. A green line at the bottom of the video on AVI and MP4 files. Not much of an issue for me, and sometimes it disappears after a few app restarts. I've never experienced it on either of my Pis though.

@MilhouseVH, do you include this pr in your builds? allow https in HLS variant selection. If not can you include it?


RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - Milhouse - 2014-01-16

I'll include it in future builds, however I don't want to include patches that go nowhere so please help get this committed upstream by commenting on the PR once you've been able to test, as I'll eventually drop it if there's no obvious progress.

Hey MilhouseVH, love your builds, keep up the good work!

But I have one problem, I am not able to play UPNP streams through analog out. I have "audio output device" is set to analog, and I have checked "dual audio output".

With movies it works fine, I can hear sound through HDMI and analog out, but when it comes to music through UPNP, only HDMI works. No idea why and I am preaty sure it used to work perfeclty.


tnx

dual audio is not yet supported by paplayer. You could try configuring dvdplayer as the audio player.

Related, perhaps - Dual audio was working for airtunes (specifically, streaming music from iTunes on a mac or iPhone) but recently I noticed that, although dual audio is turned on, I get no analog output.


RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - pplucky - 2014-01-16

Hello everyone.

Using latest Frodo rbej image and wondering if dual audio is supported... In Audio settings, I either get 'HDMI' or 'Analog' not both.

Can anyone please clarify, just to make sure it is not an issue on my side?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that. Did a quick test now and finally the "NRK web-tv" (norwegian national tv) player again plays live streams after they changed something some time ago.

@MilhouseVH
I'm still using rbej-Gotham build from October (OpenELEC_Gotham-RPi.arm-devel-20131009130752-r15789) and I'm quite happy with it. Wonder why no new Gotham-builds are coming from rbejHuh
I'm interested in trying out your latest build. Do I have to modify advancedsettings.xml and/or config.txt?

The latest MilhouseVH build has a few new extra features regarding Enable passthrough, namely TrueHD capable receiver and DTS-HD capable receiver. Is the raspberry pi capable to deliver the HD sounds?

No. The hardware cannot support HD (passthrough) audio.
