While using PAPlayer, the music is not as loud as if I was watching a movie and the audio cuts out every few seconds (I am guessing too much cpu usage for something...). If I use dvdplayer, the music plays fine but at a low volume. If I use omxplayer, no music at all. What's the format of the music file that stutters? Do all music files stutter?

I also don't know when this started, although I know I didn't have a problem with Frodo. Large collections (11k+ songs) work well now with the rpi...

I don't get this if I force to 1080p50 (no switch). Yes, I see exact same judder, on my other screens, when playing PAL25p into 1080p25. I looks great on old builds where XBMC switch it to 1080p50. I don't know, where to allocate this problem. I can't see, if it is the omxplayer or the Gotham build, that have to manage this switching ? RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - MaxiMillion - 2014-01-29 Hi, have a little problem. In all that Gotham builds I don`t get Analog Audio to work. HDMI works fine, but changing to analog doesn`t have any effect. With OpenELEC 3.2.4 this problem isn`t present. Are there any ideas what i can look for? thanks for help RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - [email protected] - 2014-01-29 got mine to work by enabling dual audio.. but seems to be a bug. Also this will only work for omxplayer, could not get any audio out of dvdplayer (2014-01-29, 13:04)MaxiMillion Wrote: Hi, RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - MaxiMillion - 2014-01-29 (2014-01-29, 13:23)[email protected] Wrote: got mine to work by enabling dual audio.. but seems to be a bug.

I don't get this if I force to 1080p50 (no switch). I actually force PAL to 25p and NTSC to 30p in advancedsettings.xml, matching the framerate to the refresh rate gives better results just like switching a 24fps movie to 24p (which is done automatically). There is absolutely no reason to double the refresh rate its just a waste, which is why your TV supports these modes? And on a RPi it wil also free up some resources. I use it for live tv a lot, and have no trouble at all. I use Frodo, but I'd imagine on Gotham just like Frodo will use the same mechanism if your tv does not support 24p XBMC will choose 60p. So if your tv does not support 25p or 30p in Gotham it will just switch to 50 or 60hz? If you do not like it force it back to old standard in advancedsettings.xml. To me this is an improvement. If you have trouble with choppiness its a bug somewhere else, its logic that 25 fps on 25p its simply impossible if things work as they should. There is a reason your TV supports 25p and 30p and it is just like with 24p to achieve "cine"-look. With flat screens we are moving away from the old PAL/NTSC cathode needs and headaches. Why buy a TV with features that support these refresh rates in the first place then? TVs that support 24, 25, and 30p are usually in the high end or not very old. OpenELEC is actually on the front detecting and supporting those modes that not many other devices do today. For those having trouble, as said you can control refresh rates according to fps via advancedsettings: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Advancedsettings.xml#.3Cvideo.3E http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frame_rate I'll check out a Gotham build and see if there's any difference ie. I run into the same problems, that should narrow in the problem if there is one.

I use it for live tv a lot, and have no trouble at all.I have noticed something odd in this regard. On 30 Fps media, when refresh on the pi is set to 60 (in video settings), my tv reports that it is switching to 30. If I switch refresh on the pi to 30, however, the tv reports that it is switching to 60. Does this make any sense to you? This is using various recent Gotham builds.

I will try it tomorow :-) I can't right follow you in the TV framerate, on new screens. I'm a TV repair-man, and know that 120hz on my screen, is better than 60hz (for my eys). The same is for 25Hz and 50Hz. Yes old "tubes" are slow, an you can't see the 25Hz. But on new fast flat screens, there is alot of differency between 25 and 50Hz. I can see the flikker. Especialy, when a movie is recorded whith variable framerate. More and more movies, are in variableframerate, and it is easyer to see the judder/framefresh in 25Hz, rather than in 50Hz. I can also see your point.. Why use cpu, to draw twice as many frames :-) Best regards RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - craigbeat - 2014-01-29 (2014-01-29, 20:01)tuxen Wrote:(2014-01-29, 09:37)delinend Wrote:(2014-01-28, 22:39)craigbeat Wrote: I think, though, as I've reported before, it would be better if PAL (50Hz) actually works at 1080p50 - I get jerkyness playing live TV when is switches to 1080p25. I don't get this if I force to 1080p50 (no switch). Yeah, I see your point. However, there is a noticeable difference between when it's at 25 vs 50, especially on sporting events. What do you set in advanced settings to force it? RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - jpcolin - 2014-01-29 Hi, I'm sorry to ask this, but i'm reading this threat for a while now, found a lot of info, but i can't find (the right and succes) how to install this builds. Can someone give me a link to a good clear tutorial? I can install img files but not this Tar, i know i have to "unzip" it but what then. Thank you RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - ijsbeer79 - 2014-01-29 It's in the WIKI: http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/Installing_OpenELEC_on_Raspberry_Pi From recent Gotham builds you can drop the tar file in the Update folder. RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - Volvo70 - 2014-01-30 Please can someone look at radio analog output isn't working. Dualmode is working for video's but in Music(radio) this isn' t. Using the latest test version. Pichimney is working both for video and music(radio) -> selected dualmode. Many thanks for this awaresome software/ firmware. Marcel |
