Linux OpenELEC Testbuilds for x86 (Kodi 17)
(2016-03-15, 18:44)Soulbrighter Wrote: Hi,

I tried the test build but I have a strange issue: I can't use 1080p@50 or 1080p@60Hz resolutions as the screen continues to blank out and try to resynch. No issues with lower resolutions like 720p or 1080i@30, but the interface is a bit sluggish like this.

The thing is, I had no problem with the stable openelec release. With a bit of tinkering I noticed that if I connect the HDMI directly to the TV, 1080p@60 works fine, but it doesn't when I go through the Onkyo A/V receiver. I'm using a Zbox with i5 CPU and integrated HD4000 graphics card.

So, what changed between the stable release and this testbuild, that interferes with the Onkyo receiver? Tried with builds from March 7th and March 14th.

Thanks!

This sounds like the issue I had: 2270509 (post)

Everything works fine if I install/update the latest build and then switch everything off and then on again. I too have an Onkyo receiver but I don't think that is an issue as the official builds work all time (i.e. no screen blanking issues).

i had this too.
added a custom xorg.conf in /storage/.config

changed, added the mode 50 to the possible modes list line:

explicit edid files are not needed with onk's anymore with these builds is my experience
check with debug option in xorg.conf Xorg.0.log, and see what modes the onk supports, add them all if you like, put the most common upfront, e.g. 50Hz for live tv in europe.
oh and start from scratch, delete all OE volatile data, because when switching from non edid to edid mode OE keeps the mode setting and OE shows a blank screen.

Why does this seem to be happening so much lately?

Luckily I just updated my MariaDB to the latest version. and dropped all the old DB's.

Does this work on a raspberry Pi? I tried to upgrade but it fails to boot.
Not there builds. Milhouse has a separate thread for the pi.

See some more blueray 3D iso mentions in this update. When can we start testing that feature? Big Grin

i have massive stutters/low fps in LiveTV (tvheadend). and it's eating my ram while watching it.
I have no stutters, but it's also eating my ram. I use vdr.

I'm not sure when or if there will be any generic Linux updates for 3D ISO, as it requires more plumbing in the standard Linux video player. I bumped libbluray for the RPi builds as the RPi already has 3D support, and can now use the upstream library instead of it's own patches.

Everything works fine if I install/update the latest build and then switch everything off and then on again. I too have an Onkyo receiver but I don't think that is an issue as the official builds work all time (i.e. no screen blanking issues).

Unfortunately turning off and on doesn't help in my case. I'm trying to check what's different in xorg when I connect directly to the TV, even trying to force the EDID of the directly conected TV even when using the Onkyo, but still I have the same issue. I guess I'll go back to the stable release and wait for the stable Openelec 6 before wasting more time with this Sad
You need to waste the time later, because it's your problem and not a general problem.

The OE wiki has a howto on howto override the AVR's / TV's edid for intel and nvidia. It might help if you overwrite the edid information with your TV's edid or use my marantz.edid linked somewhere here.
