I changed string in the german translation 7 days ago, but the changes are not yet pushed to an updated language pack. Problem with the translation is that for some reason someone decided to translate GUI to "Benutzeroberfläche" all over the place, which I agree in general is more userfriendly, but also way to long unfortunately.

edit: new and upcoming translation is "Aktualisierungsrate der Benutzeroberfläche begrenzen"

Am I missing something regarding web interface addons ? I installed this Kodi on a new RPI2 and I am unable to find the Chorus addon. I tried to install it manually and it says it has an incorrect structure.

Good, verry good translation - think that's a non-destructive readout for grafikbox ;-)
perfect

Contact the Chorus maintainer - there's probably a good reason you can't find the addon, is it even compatible with Isengard?

It's there.
Probably his local setup is flawed

Thanks, I really shouldn't take people at their word...

Will do some more digging. I have 2 RPIs , same version, one of them has it installed for some time, the other one doesn't see the web interface addons. Ignore me for now

When I change refreshrate the confirmation box says something like "return to homescreen". Wasn't like that before. Just reporting.

I'm gonna have to test versions individually to be sure, but for versions of OpenELEC past 521, I'm not getting any 3D playback whatsoever. Trying to play a 3D movie results in a black screen and paused playback.

I would also recommend adding "Frame Packed" as a 3D type, outright, rather than attempt to implement it into an existing stereoscopic setup.

I have also the problem, 3D full frame doesn't play anymore. i get also the black screen but with sound

If you have stuttery videos, try enabling the PTS mode and let me know if it helps.

It helps. It fixes the problem.

Let me know if enabling PTS mode makes any videos worse.

I didn't find a such

[MONSTA]

There is another problem for a long time. Frequent recourse to video files causes inhibition of OS. I mean, do start / stop some videos 6-10 times, then the sound disappears and everything starts working slow. Helps to restart.

[Kiralina]

Code:

echo "blacklist snd-bcm2835" /storage/.config/modprobe.d/disable-snd-bcm2835.conf

Correction:

Code:

echo "blacklist snd-bcm2835" > /storage/.config/modprobe.d/disable-snd-bcm2835.conf

Thank you @popcornmix. This worked and my hifiberry digi board is alive again.

Can you grab a log next time it happens. I have seen this error (with dvdplayer - not omxplayer):

Code:

23:25:16 T:8116   ERROR: ActiveAE::ActiveAE::CActiveAE::MakeStream - could not create stream
23:25:16 T:8116   ERROR: CDVDPlayerAudio::Process - failed to create audio renderer

And that does produce an effect like you've described (video starts without audio, but grinds to a halt after a number of seconds).

Looks like it's not a Pi specific error.
However I've not seen it in my dev environment and cannot make it fail on demand which is necessary to debug it.

If you identify a reliable way of provoking this error, that would be very useful. If you do, provide a debug log, sample file and explain any settings that are non-default.

[zaphod24]

I've seen it as well and my workaround which seems to work ok for now is to change the setting for keeping the audio device alive from 1 minute to forever/always. Periodically I would have some weird static sound after stopping a video, but if I started it and then stopped it again the static would go away.
