Just tried the latest build (coming from Jarvis 16.0) and noticed the EPG grid view 'default' selected block always seems to revert one block to the right of where it should be... ie. current time is 08:00, but the grid defaults to selecting 08:30.

Anyone else see this issue?

[knives of ice]

@Milhouse not sure if you got a chance to check my debug's but if you need anything else let me know.

Unfortunately xbmclogs.com isn't accessible right now, maybe it will be back tomorrow.

If this is a new(-ish) problem with these builds then going back through the builds and identifying the first build when it started would be very useful.

If you've always had this problem with these builds, and it's also present in the official 6.0.3 release build, then you should open an issue on the official OpenELEC github.

finally got a chance to test things with official OpenElec builds

5.08 - dual output works
6.03 - the dual output works no problem
6.95.1 - broken, only displays on one screen which flickers as well.

so it appears there has been some type of regression in the Jarvis builds perhaps? if you can let me know what logs i should post i will.

Does this crash log says something to someone? I am trying to find out why addons are marked as disabled after i delete Addons22.db
http://pastebin.com/xKr31SRW
http://pastebin.com/zKBdzkk0
http://pastebin.com/n4tQiQxP

The same happens also on newest builds.

[Milhouse]

Which add-ons in particular? System installed add-ons (pvr etc., as they're included in these builds) are disabled by default. Your own third party add-ons should not be disabled. As for the crash, yes I'm seeing it to, been seeing it for a while now, need to identify the build when it started - build #0220 would be my guess.

[illiac4]

Oh i have posted in wrong thread. It was meant for Rpi2 but it does not matter since it happens also on x86 builds. Will try 0220 and will see if it crashes. I know that pvr addons are disabled. I am talking about all other, repos are disabled, all other addons are disabled and also script.module. So basically none of the addons works but can not identify the one that is causing the crash and then the disabled mark in addons22.db

Build 219 op pi is ok. But have noticed that it uses addons21.db. So maybe it has something to do with db version.

Few more notes:
So i have installed build 219 and addons were ok. After that i have installed todays build of rpi2. And the addons21.db was migrated to addons22.db and everything was ok. Then i have deleted both addons21.db and addons22.db so that after reboot only addons22.db should be created and there it is.... Kodi freezes, then reboots and boom all addons are disabled.
So it has something to do with addons22.db when it is created from scratch.and addons22.db was presented in build 0220 or 0221

Second note:
I can confirm that build 220 is the first one with this problem. And it happens if addons22.db is created from scratch and not migrated from addons21.db.

I am especially interested in PVR functionality (live TV stream from DVB C signal). In this respect I appreciate the latest build. So far no issues. A little bit annoying is the disabled feature of DVD play (children's department). When will this come back?
Is there supposed to be a splash screen? If yes, I can not see it.

[Milhouse]

When will this come back?

Not sure, for most people I think this is a low priority. I'm sure it will come back eventually.

There are two splash screens - the OpenELEC splash screen followed by the Kodi splash screen. You can disable both, but the default is for both to be enabled. I don't know which splash screen you are referring to.

The KODI splash screen. The OpenELEC splash screen shows.

Sorry, it's RPi specific - one of those things that's included in the build but has no effect on x86 (I use a common build system for both RPi and x86). I'll clarify that it's RPi-specific in future builds.

Thanks for clarifying this. What about normal KODI splash screen, if one do not see it?

[Milhouse]

Do you have it disabled in advancedsettings.xml? It should be shown by default. If not, upload a debug log.

[Ipaddle]

Will do.
