OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 16.0)
Hmmm. same gui freeze with latest build #0731 after some time. Deinterlacer On, Deinterlace method is Auto.

http://pastebin.com/NW0Qva0C
Now here is another debug. This time it is with deinterlacer on and as method is selected Bob. This time the video just freezes (stays on one frame) if i press stop this time it stops the video and if i select play it plays again (does not freeze the gui as in other way and othe debug).
http://pastebin.com/LMrFWYVy


P.S.:
After some testing it seems the following:
If I have deinterlacer on and auto as deinterlaced method it freezes after some time with complete freeze as Milhouse has.
If I select deinterlacer on and MMAL Bob as method the picture freezes after some time with video freeze but can stop it and select it once again and it plays again. so without gui freeze,
If I deselect deinterlacer so off, then there are not freezes.

ATM I have those overclocking with 50 celsius temp. With next test i will use default settings and will repeat the tests but i have a strong feeling that it has something to do with deinterlacers.
gpu_mem=320
arm_freq=1000
core_freq=500
over_voltage=4
gpu_freq=400
v3d_freq=300
avoid_pwm_pll=1
force_turbo=0


One question: What does force_turbo in your MMAL code did (Milhouse or. Popcorn) when you were calling deinterlacer? Does selecting deinterlacer causes any frequency change?
Is it possible to create a build that it would actually use default clock settings if any deinterlace method is selected. I am getting feeling that deinterlacer method is very sensible to overclocking. This would maybe explain the behaviour that Milhouse is getting freezes because he uses force turbo 1 and popcornmix not.
Mahhh another kodi crash this time without overclock but from the log it seems different. I am slowly loosing ideas.

Any build after 0727 results in movies either playing too fast, freezing or having no sound. I haven't tried a clean install but rolling back to 0727 solves the problem for me.
(2015-07-17, 23:35)Milhouse Wrote: Could Hifiberry Digi and Hifiberry Digi+ owners confirm if they are still having problems (as originally reported here) when using the latest build, thanks.

I have a Raspberry Pi 1 model B (512Mb) with Hifiberry Digi.
I just installed #801 and I can confirm that the problem is solved.

Thank you very much.
It seems there's not much improvement in playback problem of x265/HEVC in recent builds. The video freeze-pixelation-recovery sequences happened over a dozen times during playback of a 40 minutes episode. Most of the time, the video freeze could recover by itself after a few seconds and continue playback. Only in a few occasions the RPi2 just hanged.

However there is no movies playback problem mentioned by @rob77 for me. In fact, build #0801 did fix a DTS audio track problem. The problem starts with lost of audio and then followed by video freeze. I knew it was the DTS audio track as after I replaced it with HE-AAC audio track, it plays flawlessly until the end. I tried to rolled back to 5.0.1 but problem persisted. With build #0801, this problem just gone.

BTW, I tried to disable the de-interlace feature to see if it helps to fix the x265/HEVC playback problem but I couldn't found how to turn it off in the setup menu.
Just getting round to setting up my brother's RPi v2 with Hifi Berry DAC.

It had a very old build #503 installed so I updated to #801. There's no sign of the DAC in the settings though and no snd entries in dmesg.

I've posted the dmesg http://pastebin.com/iUvn4kcg and kodi.log http://pastebin.com/kFuLdWtX

Do I need to add something to cmdline.txt or config.txt to make the DAC work?

It might be a known thing but I found my remote's OK/Select button was not doing anything and checking the logs showed it was now registering as

16:09:40 81.006470 T:1967362048 DEBUG: LIRC: Update - NEW at 73702:1c 0 KEY_ENTER devinput (KEY_ENTER)
16:09:40 81.006721 T:1967362048 DEBUG: OnKey: 22 (0x16) pressed, action is FullScreen

so I just edited Lircmap.xml to change the last line to <enter>KEY_OK</enter> to match the existing line for <select>KEY_OK</select> and added an extra line to my remote.xml so it now has

<select>Select</select>
<enter>Select</enter>

and it seems to be OK now. Thinking about it though, maybe it would have made more sense to add <select>KEY_ENTER</select> to Lircmap.xml and not add the<enter> line to remote.xml?

For the overclock, I currently have:

arm_freq=1000
core_freq=500
sdram_freq=500
over_voltage=6
over_voltage_sdram=4

but I seem to recall reading that there's not much point in OC'ing sdram on the v2, so shall I delete the sdram_freq=500 and over_voltage_sdram=4 lines and maybe drop over_voltage to 4 instead fo 6?

I did some tests, all with the same process, no setup change:
Directory in SD with inside 7 audio files (see post #276)
Install new build with add-on, go to the directory in the SD, move the selection on the file, wait 15 seconds, read value from ssh/top, move to the next file.
Results:
Build | low CPU% (good files) | High CPU% (bad files)
#19852 (date: 22/Dec) | 15 | 66
#19882 (date: 01/Jan) | 15 | 65
#20173 (date: 01/Feb) | 15 | 69
#0301 | 15 | 70
#0401 | 67 | 69
#0501 | 66 | 81
#0601 | 59 | 62
#0701 | 64 | 64
#0401 | 63 | 66 (again to be sure)
#0726 | 09 | 95 (again to be sure)

My conclusion as a user:
2 type of files
Builds #0501 and #0726 have higher values.

I'll try to find the last change between #0701 and #0726

I found the starting build:

Build | low CPU% (good files) | High CPU% (bad files)
#0712 | 64 | 65
#0713 | 72 | 95

Even there is a difference between "bad" and "good" file (I don't know why) there is also a difference between builds.
I'll try to find out why the difference between files.

Just a reminder.
Build #0801 still has the same issue

over_voltage=4 is the maximum value for the Pi2 - anything higher will be interpreted as 4.

Regarding the OK/ENTER problem, attempts are being made to fix this (it's the reason the OE6 release is delayed). I've had to drop one commit as this seems to break working installs, hopefully there will be a solution soon.

I get a blank homescreen after the Kodi/Jarvis splash on #802. I can see notifications (library updates), and the power context menu still works. It might be the skin i'm using (mimic). I'm going to try rolling back to #801

EDIT:
I was able to switch back to confluence. Kodi works now. I guess something changed in the skin engine?
Build #802

I have (2) Rpi2, one works the other fails to boot with overclock enabled. Works with overclock disabled.
Kernel Panic with overclock
Worked fine on ~#726

I'm not home right now so haven't seen this build boot. Do you see similar results with any other third-party skins? Do you still have a problem with mimic if the Kodi splash screen is disabled in as.xml?

Code:
<splash>false</splash>

I tried xperience1080 and it had the same problem.
Although I was able to get the home screen to appear if I went to system info or settings and returned to home.

Adding
Code:
<splash>false</splash>
Seem to make the OS freeze.
