OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 16.0)
Hi All
A little bit of topic,
I installed the latest test build on my rasp pi 2 and I just bought a wifi adapter from Sitecom: the AC600 dual band

It is not recognized on the connections section (only the option for wired connections is available)
on the shop they told me that I need to install the driver RTL8812

Do you know how can I install it via ssh?

thanks

Video is stuttering, 50% on the MTV list (top100 Video charts) is not playable.

Is #1101 the first build with the problem? Does reverting to #1031 fix it?

The RTL8812AU driver is included but it's possible the Sitecom usb vendor/product id isn't recognised by this driver, and requires an update. Please test with OpenELEC 6.0 and if not supported post on the OpenELEC forum so that it can be investigated - you'll need to upload the output from "dmesg" and "lsusb" commands.

As a short term measure, you could try the following:
Code:
modprobe 8812au
echo "vid:pid" > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rtl8812au/new_id
where vid:pid is the vendor id and product id shown by lsusb for your Sitecom device (eg. "0df6:0077").

If the above works, add it to autostart.sh, but still contact the OpenELEC developers on their forum if you want long term support.

reverting to #1031 all thing plays - update again to #1031 - it works now, sorry ....i dont know for which reason it will not work on the first time.

Have make updates on win10, android arm and Raspberry to beta ...only Pi make "temporary" problems with stuttering on the first time with update.

i'm watching now ;-)

Might just have been temporary internet issues (perhaps at the MTV server end).
If you spot any pattern to when you get stuttering then that could be interesting.
I noticed in build 1101 that when watching live tv when open video codec info screen when deinterlacing on auto en deinterlace mode auto skip is count fast.

When i select deinterlace mode mmal - bob skipping isn't counting at all it stays nice like it should be.

All the other deinterlace modes i notice skip is counting fast.

mmal - bob seems the most stable is this right?

What about ALSA USB OUT? Can you check?
Just a heads up. Been having a problem for a little while. I haven't been updating daily, so I can't tell you when this started happening. After about 2 hours of live TV watching (HDHomerun->Mythbuntu->RPI2), I get a lot of apparent frame dropping, eventually start hearing strange audio timing, speeding up and sounding really odd (high pitched).

Here is a complete log, but I don't see anything usefull in it:
http://sprunge.us/ZLFZ

The top command shows a lot of CPU usage (>39%, which is a lot since it has 4 cores). One core is maxed, another is running at around 20% and another at around 10%, the last core is fairly idle. Memory usage seems high at over 680M (I think it starts out less around 570M). Stopping the playback and starting it again fixes the frame drop/audio problems. Around the same time I noticed this happening, I started getting buffering near the beginning of playback. It occurs pretty much every time and then seems to be fine for a couple of hours. Memory usage remains high after stopping and restarting live playback. Seems to be a leak somewhere. Forgive me if you already know this. I've been so busy, that I haven't had time to keep up with the thread so I have no idea what's going on for the most part.
Experience: It's what you get when you were expecting something else.

Is sync playback to display enabled? I have a suspicion there is a leak when that is disabled.
If not, then it would be useful to find out the first build that had this issue?
htop may give a further clue as to the thread that is taking the cpu (I think htop is in the unofficial OE add-ons repo)
Hi @ all, Milhouse and Popcornmix

what have i to do - with hifiberry dac+ i have no sound on my Rpi2

#1102: Analog output and HDMI playing sound.

Last build #1028b bevor was o.k. with hifiberry.
