OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 15.0) Part 2
This is interesting, I scrubbed my SD card to get off NOOBS and have just OE 5.0.8. I then updated to the latest Milhouse #501 and all the PVR clients were disabled except for the recent ones of PCTV, PVR, Filmon, Stalker,and VBox.
It is what it is, thought someone might find this useful.

I got troubles with the new FULL HD framepacking 3D over HDMI feature on my Raspberry PI 2. I tested it using those three 1 minute mkv samples from another thread here ("Gravity", "The Hobbit - Desolation of Smaug", "Thor 2") aswell as using a MakeMKV rip of "Frozen" and some HSBS samples.
With "Settings -> Acceleration -> Use Full HD HDMI modes for 3D" activated all videos play in 2D mode on my TV. If I disable it the HSBS samples trigger the 3D mode automatically and everything works as desired. The FULL HD MVC mkv files keep playing in 2D though.

So far I was just shrugging my shoulders telling myself the TV (LG 55LB650V) is crap and plainly doesn't support FULL HD 3D frame packing as HDMI input. What makes me wonder now is that playing 3D BluRays with the PS3 works. Isn't the PS3 sending the very same HDMI stream (except HDCP) to the TV when playing a 3D BluRay? I guess I'm missing some detail here that everyone else knows, just like usual ;-).

Do you have "change frame rate to match video" (or whatever the option is called) turned on?

Turning that on did the trick, thank you. How did you know? Is there a better way to get into this stuff than reading every single post in this forum? The videos stop every few seconds but I haven't made any attempts to optimize the performance yet so I'm not to worried about that.
I just know you need that to make 3d auto switching work.

I am using #0501 without overclock. I am using the new SD drivers. I have no problems. everything is working as it should.

Are the old driver numbers slower because of the warnings introduced in latest build? Does the previous build have better numbers for old driver?

In general I'd expect about 18MB/s for old driver and just over 20MB/s for the new one (for continuous read, like hdparm -t).

Hey you are right. I did the test within the elder version #430 and the sd is faster.

I still hope to get 3D iso support. Any chances to get this soon?

Can you be clear if this has always been the behaviour, or if this is a regression in a recent build? If it's a regression can you indicate which build?

I couldn't say because last time I used the pi1 was more than a year ago and didn't like it because the lack of a hardware deinterlacer. Now the playback is perfect so I'll try an older version to see if the gui is that slow and report back.


I did some tests and it seems the GUI updates limit doesn't work with OMXPlayer (between 7-9 fps no matter the option I choose):

DVDPlayer with limit set to 25 (around 15fps):

DVDPlayer with limit set to unlimited (50 fps):

I use the pi1 mostly for LiveTV and the video playback is smoother with OMXPlayer; is it possible to get a faster GUI fps keeping in mind that there is a lot CPU cycles available?

Hi.

It still appears, that since many releases, the OMXplayer still can't playback any DVD/ISO/25i without stuttering.

Best regards

It's grayed out at the latest build here too but the MVC videos are working though.
