It's a good question. Shutting down the Pi (with no easy way to restart it is almost never desired). I'll have a poke around...

If you have two USB ports next to each other on the TV you can use a Y cable to provide enough power to overclock. I believe each port usually provides 500mA so you would get a full 1A this way.

If I use the actual Build from Milhouse should I keep 2.0 speaker configuration for multichannel passthrough sound?

Here it is.

Pretty much as suspected, the remote control app is spamming the client with JSON requests several times a second, most likely to maintain it's own state (what's playing, seek positiion etc.). Most (if not all of these) JSON requests are completely unnecessary, as the app could get the same information via JSON notifications without spamming the client.

Code:

Note how there are two separate threads (T:2667574352 and T:2794067024) on the Pi both responding to JSON requests, suggesting that you have the same app running on two iOS devices and that when you start playing a movie on the XBMC client the app on each device goes into overdrive spamming the XBMC client with JSON requrests just to maintain it's own internal state. If you add this app to a third iOS device... well, you can see the problem, eventually you won't be able to play movies! ...

• FIQ FSM has been updated to resolve some issues, please re-enable and re-test. From popcornmix:
  

  Quote:There is an update to fiq_fsm (and rpi-3.13.y-next tree) which should fix the "FIQ reported NYET. Data may have been lost." issue.
  (Basicaly the fiq was getting disabled, and causing lost usb messages).
  
  This could help a range of problems with USB and fiq_fsm.

Did anyone test this?

Why would you? Hyperion could be installled to OE already. See theire wiki: https://github.com/tvdzwan/hyperion/wiki/Installation-on-RPi-with-OpenELEC

I've recorded a short clip to demonstrate the issue (the volume level is a bit low, tho): 24-bit, 44 kHz 5.1 sounds pretty bad: music is heard from front left channel all the time, center channel occasionally, the rest are mostly mute. Audio breaks every now and then, when garbled audio starts, moving cursor (in songs list) up and down fixes it for a short time (while cursor is sliding up or down), then it breaks again.

The audio break up (a repeated rumbling noise) should be fixed in latest Milhouse build.
If you still believe channels are mapped wrongly, then can you upload a sample file and describe your audio settings.

• channel 1 => front left,
  
• channel 2 => center,
  
• channel 3 => front right,
  
• channel 4 => rear left,
  
• channel 5 => rear right,
  
• channel 6 => assuming LFE, as I don't have one.

With the 2 players I have a drop at the very beginning of the file and can't listen the half first second.

Do the drops go away when running full screen (tab on keyboard)?
