Hi Folks

Since late December I've been running Milhouse's OE Generic.x86 builds on my Intel 847 NUC. I love how the picture quality has improved on my TV - great work - thank you to all hands involved !

Today I wish to report a little showstopper - the audio volume will not change in response to my IR remote control commands .

The on-screen indicator pops up, but the actual audio level will not shift - up or down. BTW, this is using my regular skin of choice - Xonfluence (mod of Confluence).

The last working version for me was #0110. Subsequent versions (#0112 and #0115) behave the same - no audio change via remote is possible. Just to be sure, I tried #0115 with good old Confluence too - same non-response condition.

LOG from #0110 - volume level working

LOG from #0115 - volume level does not respond

Has anyone else come across this ?

Thanks

(edit to clarify: when using IR remote)

Thanks Milhouse for the frequent updates.
I am experiencing the same behavior. I have a custom keymap, and volume keys do not work properly. Am using a ThinkPad T420, and the built in keyboard.

Thanks

I think I've just reproduced the rating issue (on Pi builds):

Code:

20:43:09 62750.363281 T:1553388448   DEBUG: scraper: GetIMDBRatingById returned <details><url cache="tt0477347-main.html" function="ParseIMDBRating">http://akas.imdb.com/title/tt0477347/|accept-language=en-us</url></details>
20:43:09 62750.375000 T:1553388448   DEBUG: scraper: ParseIMDBRating returned <details><rating>6.4</rating><votes>219,895</votes></details>

but "texturecache.py Jd all @extrajson.movies=rating,votes,ratings" says:

Code:

"rating": 0.0,
        "ratings": [
          {
            "default": true,
            "name": "default",
            "rating": 0.0,
            "votes": 0
          }
        ],
        "votes": "0"

I believe it should be reproducible with NFO files too (parsing scraper infos and NFOs use the same logic). Updating rating and votes via texturecache.py works ("imdb movies | set").
Guess something is still not right with PR8080.

Edit: database has:

Code:

rating_id = 1116
   media_id = 49
media_type = movie
rating_type = default
     rating = 0.0
      votes = 0

Looks like you're right. I've posted a comment on that PR about it.

Thanks.

[menakite]

I have a fix for that. Newly scraped movies had an invalid rating/votes so the label is empty - they need to be refreshed and/or rating updated using texturecache.py.

ListItem.Rating(default) works here where rating is > 0.0 (and votes > 0 for Votes and RatingAndVotes).
Please note that right now only "default" is usable, I'm not aware of any scraper returning multiple ratings as of now. You can test with NFOs though. I believe the format is:

Code:

<ratings>
  <rating name="imdb"> <!-- ListItem.RatingAndVotes(imdb) -->
    <value>8.9</value>
    <votes>12345</votes>
  </rating>

  <rating name="hitchermdb" default="true"> <!-- ListItem.RatingAndVotes(hitchermdb) or ListItem.RatingAndVotes(default) -->
    <value>0.1</value>
    <votes>5</votes>
  </rating>
</ratings>

I have a strange problem with #0115.

I run a TV-Headend Server (also newest build from Milhouse) on my htpc. At Live-TV, sometimes (not always!) I have no sound. My AVR recognize a sound signal (5.1 or 2.0 Channels) but gives me no sound.

CodecInfo show me also AC3, but the bitrate is 9kbit/s.

Any other sound (Radio, movie files, etc.) works perfect

I have a strange problem with #0115.

No debug log (wiki), no problem.

New OpenELEC Krypton build #0117: Generic
(Supercedes previous build)

Hi Milhouse... Great Going !

This build cures the audio volume control issue, and co-incidentally "fixes" the anomaly I noticed with the Video Extras addon.

During the last week I've added a few movies to the library with accompanying extras (ie: additional material taken from Special Features sections), and... the little "E" symbol that should appear (in Media info 3 view) was not showing up.

This occurred only for the newly added movies - older entries displayed their "E" symbols as before. After updating to Krypton build #0117 - and a reboot or two - everybody has their little "E"s showing, where appropriate. Excellent.

Thanks for all your hard work .

Hi

Testing new build #0117

Issues:
- no menu (GUI) audio
- slow 1st time access to LAN (wired by the way). Then 2nd attempt no problem.
- LIVE TV is choppy and no sound

(Complaining, but I appreciate very much your work. And I will keep testing your builds. As mentioned earlier build #1121 still works.)

1) wrong configured audio device - pulseaudio is in use ... Hello @OpenELEC devs: You were warned before that ... but did not care ...
Here for the record:
a) Do not enable alsa's pulseaudio tools
b) Enable pulseaudio in kodi additionally
c) Filter out all devices not being the BT headphone while enumerating here: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master...E.cpp#L384

2) No idea

3) tvheadend / hts do not implement the upcoming isLiveStream yet ... that's most likely causing the issue. <- tvheadend has its own demuxer, so that's not the problem.

[Milhouse]

@fritsch yes it's something that will have to be addressed (Pulse, that is).

[Hitcher]

Still present in #0115.

I've also noticed that the IMDB rating isn't working for the last few builds.

Sorry can't help with the fps issue, but the IMDb rating how is this "not working" - not appearing, or not updating (from NFO, JSON, or via an add-on)?

I was going to post today that I'd tested older legacy builds and it was still present when I tried the latest build, and guess what?, it's fixed.

[Mettbrot]

Hey Milhouse

I finally got some time to update to a more recent build of yours (#0117). I have installed a retroarch addon which uses

Code:

pgrep kodi.bin | xargs kill -SIGSTOP
$BASE_DIR/bin/retroarch --menu -c $BASE_DIR/config/retroarch.cfg $ARGS
pgrep kodi.bin | xargs kill -SIGCONT

to pause and resume kodi. Problem is: when I start a game using the mupen64plus core I cannot get back to Kodi after Retroarch is stopped. In the "top" process explorer I can see Kodi beeing in "'T' = traced or stopped" state (which is fine I guess) and when I quit retroarch it changes to "'D' = uninterruptible sleep" and later to "'Z' = zombie". I have to do a "systemctl restart kodi" to bring it back.

It briefly shows the openelec version tag in the top left corner when loading a rom with the mupen64plus core and when exiting retroarch. The tag fades out after a second.
Other cores I tried (2048) are fine.

I tested the older builds and the problem started with build #0101. Build #1228 was fine.
Here is an kodi.old.log after I did the restart: http://sprunge.us/Kfhf
I don't see anything in it though. I can capture something else if it helps though.

Thanks in advance

edit: I did a quick test with #0115 and #0112 and they both do not have this problem! #0110 however has it. Curious if it has something to do with the controller input PR? (though it wasn't in #0101 and #0110)

[SavellM]

So I'm having a weird issue the last 2 or 3 builds.

The audio for movie music, IE in a movie you have scene music, it sounds stretched like an old cassette that's been stretched and it doesn't sound good.

At first I just thought it was poor encoding on 1 movie, but now today tried to watch a few other movies since and they all have it.
And its weird as its just the music, the voice's sound fine or at least from what I can tell.

I am using an Intel NUC 5i3 and would love to figure this out.
Could be something with my audio settings, but not sure what to set it to?
I am using audio passthrough to my AMP.

Is there some logs I can get for you?
If so how?

Ps keep up the good work.

Can anyone help with this?

Joystick controller isn't in #0117. Sounds like the problem is random which makes identifying when it started a problem.

Hm. Do you have any idea what I could do to identify this problem? How can it be that the version tag is shown in the top left corner; in which situation?
