Hi all, I've been having a problem that I hope someone might help me.

If I leave my rpi/xbmc connected and leave it there for 1/2 hours on idle, while watching TV, or playstation, when I return I have no sound on any show(weird right?, it gets worse)

I reboot my rpi to regain sound, but on reboot the pixel ratio gets all messed up.here is some pics to explain what I mean:

I can't find nothing on logs or anything, im using kernel 3.10 with latest xbmc gotham build.

Thks in advance

The pixel ratio issue seems to be a common problem with the latest builds.

See post 1732 in this thread for a workaround

The pixel ratio bug affects users with TV's that report 3D support.
It is fixed in the latest (last night's) Milhouse and miappa builds.

You may still have to fix the pixel ratio one last time after updating (either in calibration menu in GUI or by editing guisettings.xml).

Great! Thks @trixter and @popcornmix will try that today(indeed my tv has 3D support).
And about my first weirdness, losing audio if not in use for some time? any ideas?

[popcornmix]

For the audio issue, are you saying:
play video - audio okay
pause video
wait 30 minutes
resume video - audio missing
?

Are you using passthrough? Can you try disabling it?

[godfader]

not quite, like this:
start rpi, not playing anything, change source on receiver to set top box / playstation
come back to rpi after sometime to watch something
audio missing
restart rpi
audio ok

my setup is rpi > hdmi reciever > tv

passthrough is disabled, tried with it also but is the same problem

xbmc log, dmesg, syslog not showing anything out of the ordinary

[popcornmix]

start rpi, not playing anything, change source on receiver to set top box / playstation
come back to rpi after sometime to watch something
audio missing
restart rpi
audio ok

Are you sure that the receiver/TV was powered on and on the right HDMI input before the pi was powered on?
Sounds a bit like the Pi is not reading the edid correctly (which happens with some receivers/TVs when they are either in standby or on wrong HDMI input).

There is a solution to that problem, but I need to know if that's the situation.

[godfader]

I am, because the i turn off/on everything at the same time on the power switch.
But I will try to test it again to make 100% sure.
How can I "dump" edid settings to compare?

[popcornmix]

Run:

Code:

tvservice -s

to see current TV status when working and when not working.

Also run:

Code:

tvservice -d edid.dat[code]
when working and not working and compare the files. You may find the not working case is 0 bytes.

With the working edid.dat, copy it to boot partition and add to config.txt
[code]
hdmi_force_hotplay=1
hdmi_edid_file=1

and it will always use that "pre-canned" edid, and won't spot the hdmi hotplug signal changing. It could help.
