The new info screen for my favorite skin looks awsome @Hitcher. (It would be useful to have video & audio bitrates + buffer utilization as well, hopefully that can be added later.)

I have some suggestions though (and apologies if some has been covered previousy) It is still missing– @FernetMenta: what is the status for the video buffer, point 2, in Kodi 17? Your previous answer isn't very clear. It refers to the new dialog containing this information, but as I tested this and provided a screenshot in post #63 http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=277344&pid=2371208#pid2371208 – this unfortunately isn't the case. It is also not in Kodi 17s debug screen, although its config in advancedsettings.xml is being parsed during startup. Since the only way of determining whether the video buffer is active or not was via the old codec info/overlay it would be useful to know if this feature still exists, and plans for exposing this info to the info screen.

How can you sit back and relax and watch the movieI think that the majority is that of banned addon users too. So what? Dodge the needs of a bit more advanced users for their sake? I don't want to imagine what Kodi would be if it was always for the majority. PS not trying to force something here regarding the technical info (though I'll miss some of this info too), just that logic I disagree with fwiw.

It's about forcing things that imo a majority won't use on the osd, which is already confusing enough from a usability standpoint. I've now added it to the info dialog, but I hope it will be a new dialog that can be brought up with the 'o' button.

RE: [NEW] Revised Codec and Playback info overlay discussions and suggestions - Ed76 - 2016-08-01 just tested the latest nightly. if i press "o" most of the informations we know from previous kodi versions are there. but i miss the dropped and skipped frames. where or how can i find them? if i listen to online-radio the codec is displayed. but i cant find any informations about music-quality/bitrate. is this not possible anymore? RE: [NEW] Revised Codec and Playback info overlay discussions and suggestions - BigNoid - 2016-08-01 that has been mapped to playerdebug action RE: [NEW] Revised Codec and Playback info overlay discussions and suggestions - Ed76 - 2016-08-01 what means this exactly? i have to activate "debug-logging" within the options to see that kind of informations? RE: [NEW] Revised Codec and Playback info overlay discussions and suggestions - BigNoid - 2016-08-01 I mean map an action in keyboard.xml to Code: playerdebug RE: [NEW] Revised Codec and Playback info overlay discussions and suggestions - Ed76 - 2016-08-01 ok, thanks. RE: [NEW] Revised Codec and Playback info overlay discussions and suggestions - Ed76 - 2016-08-06 edited the xml-file for my remote and it works now. thanks again. another small problem: it seems "playerdebug" only works for video-files, not for music-files. i found it very helpfull to know what quality/bitrate the stream has while listen to online radio. thats not possible anymore. would it be possible to get this feature back? RE: [NEW] Revised Codec and Playback info overlay discussions and suggestions - host505 - 2016-08-06 Just a thought, don't know if it's even possible, but maybe display the playerdebug info on a second CodecInfo action (button pressing)? I think it would be too much having to spare 2 buttons of the remote to assign these actions. RE: [NEW] Revised Codec and Playback info overlay discussions and suggestions - ashlar - 2016-08-06 Where could one look at the refresh rate of the display? Because 23.976 (three decimal points of precision) is most definitely not enough to know whether you are close enough to the optimal to avoid frame drops/repeats during a movie, when bitstreaming. Furthermore, I think that what's displayed here is the framerate of the movie, so I don't know where to look for display refresh and what precision will be given.

I can't quite understand and I read all this thread. Is buffer info accessible somehow or not? |
