Don't know if this is the best place to put this, as it's probably not RPi2 specific.
If this post belongs in the TVHeadend section, I apologize for mis-posting.

My setup is a single-seat TVHeadend installation on my RPi2.
Might be worth noting that my RPi2's revision is a21041 (made in PRC, not the UK).

The issue is that while watching any channel, pressing stop has a delay of about one second before actually responding.
** Simply switching channels does not cause it.

Reproduced with builds #0321 - #0330 and build #0202 (the first RPi2 build) - haven't tested the other builds, hopefully those will do for now.
Reproduced with TVHeadend server versions v3.9-2662-ge4cdd3c (uploaded circa #0328 by Milhouse) and v3.9-2496 (from the "Unofficial RPi2 repository")
Being perfectly honest, I haven't tested #0329 because it didn't seem to have any *functional* changes of pvr.hts code. I may be wrong on this one.

The issue does not occur with OpenElec versions 5.0.5, 5.0.6, 5.0.7 (regardless of TVHeadend server version).
The issue does not occur when I watch using Kodi 14.2 on my Win7 PC (the server still being the RPi2 of course) over LAN.
Haven't tested using any version of Kodi v15 on my Win7 yet.

Checked the logs using build #0328 and this is the relevant part IMO:

As mentioned above, build #0202 seems to behave in a similar fashion, but doesn't print all those messages (the debug prints were probably implemented later on).

What I gather from this is the issue seems to depend only on the client version (i.e. the HTSP client version).
Checking the git of pvr.hts, it looks like the messages come from CHTSPDemuxer:arseMuxPacket at src/HTSPDemuxer.cpp

If I understand correctly, the HTSP clients used by Kodi 14.2 and Kodi 15 have many fundamental differences (IIRC most of the code has been rewritten).
Therefore I realize that saying the issue is with pvr.hts version 2.x isn't really saying much. Hopefully some dev can make something of it?

Other than that I must say the nightlies keep looking better and better.
Playing 1080p smoothly with a moderately overclocked RPi2 using OMX acceleration.
Great work!

For testing purposes I've uploaded the following sample recording (warning, it is MPEG2 and so it is big, as in 2.4gb):

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8TU_Cp...sp=sharing

This recording (from Nickelodean HD in this case) is what is typical for my cable provider. Using mplayer it seems that the content is most likely 24fps and telecine'd to 29.97fps. Perhaps it can help in making playback on the RPi/RPi2 better. The interesting thing to note is that when I leave deinterlacing set to auto, it does appear to be deinterlacing the content. There is a logo in the bottom right most of the time and it flickers quite a bit. Turning deinterlacing to off stops the flicker and with this particular content does not seem to result in the usual ugly "jaggies" during motion.

Also, apologies for the actual content, it is a kid's show I recorded for one of my children.

Great that #0315 introduced full frame MVC support, but I noticed this intermittently, and now it seems all the time (currently on #0329):
The video will not be correctly scaled, it's zoomed (although it appears to only be about 150%) both horizontally and vertically, and when played in 3D mode, the two images are not alligined, almost like the second image is the remainder of the first image (the bit off the edge of the screen) that's somehow on top, or ghosting the other image.
The UI thinks it's playing H.SBS (perhaps that's just down to the fact that I've put H.SBS in the filename, there's no full frame packed option to select anyway). Like I say, I was able to get it to play full frame 3D fine the first few times on the earlier build. But now, not at all. The other thing I changed is I moved over from a B+ to a Pi2.

Just went back to #0315 and the Full Frame 3D MVC plays fine again (both in 3D and 2D mode), so something in an newer build broke it (not me changing to my shiny new Pi 2). I'll try and find out which build introduced the issue.

Edit: It seems to come in intermittently in all versions, just when it happens it seems to stick now, but a reboot usually fixes it again.
Also, while going through the build just now, I noticed that the "Watch in 2D" menu item that was fixed in #0316 regresses again from #0322, i.e. it doesn't stay highlighted after selecting (even though you're actually watching in 3D). Also, look out for those round option/radio button UI elements sometimes not being scaled correctly in 3D mode along with the rest of the UI, so they end up looking like eyes rotated 90 degrees.

Any chances to get 3D isos supported soon?

[deborah_c]

Any chances to get 3D isos supported soon?

It's now at the top of my queue, but I have a few days off on holiday. We're working on it, but please be patient-- there's lots of work to do on RPi and not that many of us to do it!

sorry for the dumb question (total rpi2 noob) , but how do i actually install "OpenELEC-RPi2.arm-Milhouse-20150331214207-#0331-g52753da" onto my memory card ? just got an rpi2 today . thanks

Start with OE 5.0.7 stable. Download the img file. http://openelec.tv/get-openelec
Download the Milhouse tar file and copy it to the Update folder over network: http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/Updating_OpenELEC

[Doktor-X]

still no htsp source support back

[paulsk231]

brilliant . thanks popcornmix :-) . cant wait to get tinkering

[Milhouse]

still no htsp source support back

htsp is no longer supported internally, dropped in build #0314, see PR:6699.

Are you using pvr.hts?

This may sound a little noobish but I experience the following when I start a video; I have my refreshrate on 60 and when I start a vid which also has the same refreshrate it still "switches" with an audible sound and a quick black screen. This didn't happen before and when it happened it only happened when I had this setting when the refreshrate should be set to the refreshrate of the video (the audible sound switch and quick black screen). I tried every setting thinking it was me doing something wrong but nothing changed. It always does this "switch" thing.

Are you sure both hdmi modes are 60Hz? I'd guess one is 60Hz (the gui mode) and the video is 59.94Hz.
Try setting the GUI to 59.94Hz.

[Batiatus]

OK I have 2 questions, as I don't own a Pi to play with but have considered it and I'm completely new to how it all works.

First, why does passthrough not send the full lossless audio out? Why use the Pi to do the decoding?

Second, how is this little cheap device capable of properly playing back MVC 3D MKV when a far more powerful (and expensive) HTPC cannot? That doesn't make any sense to my brain!
