New OpenELEC Helix build: #1128
[*]Revert newclock4 commit that may be causing green screen/hang with LiveTV

Does this build avoid the green screen/hang bug reported?

[PeaceMkr]

Hey popcornmix, now the green screen is gone. thanks!

Hey popcornmix, now the green screen is gone. thanks!

Okay, I'd still like a sample file that has the green screen problem. There may be a better fix than reverting this change.

[PeaceMkr]

The problem is, that ive simply started live-tv and then the pi hangs with that green screen. it didnt matter what channel.
I could try with a recording but playback of normal movies worked as far as i know.
I will try out later. my girl is watching tv right now..

@stuCONNERS suggested it affected recording too:

Yes, fixed the issue on 1080i tvheadend channels with green blocking too . Thanks!

[PeaceMkr]

@popcornmix i cant reproduce it with recordings. they are playing fine.
But when i switch on tv it hangs..
here is a log. maybe that would help..

http://pastebin.com/f0w1TW01

also i cant reproduce the green noise. i only get a hanging kodi right now.
Ive tried with version devel-20141124223600-r19690-gec9fd72 which didnt work last days.

Edit: ive started tv right now with the latest build and same behavior.. when i start i get an audioloop of 1sec, no picture and pi hangs and needs a reboot.. so nothing changed..

[*]Animated splash support...

If you want to test this you need a h.264 video file as a raw annex-b bitstream in /storage/splash.h264. E.g. try this:

Code:

wget http://netlir.dk/rbej/builds/MilhouseVH/other/splash.h264.bin -O /storage/splash.h264

You can optionally disable some of the other splash screens for a cleaner boot. E.g.
Add "disable_splash=1" to config.txt
Add nosplash to end of cmdline.txt
Add <splash>false</splash> to advancedsettings.xml

[PeaceMkr]

@popcornmix, ive tried out the latest builds and found out that the green screen with noise only happends when i first start a channel in 1080i with vnsi-addon. This happens in all builds since 23.11. When i choose a normal sd-dvb-channel everything is fine. After loading the sd-channel i can jump over to the 1080i-hd-channels without problems.

Others have reported the green screen/hang is resolved in recent builds.
Are you also getting a hang?
Can you reproduce the problem from a file (when played before any sd videos)?
