I just tried this build and it fixes the pal output issue I had. However the overscan settings don't stick: every time I reboot I have to calibrate the screen again. This isn't new, it also happens with kodi 18.4.
Edit just found out that it's been happening since 2017.
Oh, and on a raspberry pi zero w it cannot cope with the osd over playing video.
Edit: tried again with raspbian/kodi 18.4 and the osd is smooth even when playing videos. Pity it has other problems Sad

Up until now I just bothered with analog video output. Today, since pal output finally works, I also tried to obtain analog audio from the zero by using

dtoverlay=pwm,pin=18,func=2
audio_pwm_mode=2

(I didn't build an output filter, it's just for testing).
The audio works, even if in audio settings I leave the audio to hdmi (?), with the obvious pwm noise (since I don't have a filter in place).
If I set the output to analog, the pwm noise disappears (?) but the video is affected (it has vertical stripes)


Image

Is that normal? (I refer to both things: analog output when set to hdmi, stripes on the video when set to analog).

Maybe keep an eye on this issue: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/issues/16683

No idea what "cannot cope" means. If playback starts to stutter, try uploading a debug log (wiki).

It takes ages to appear, it is slow to navigate (a delay of 2-3 seconds between a key press an the menu responding), and playback stutters. As soon as I can I'll upload a debug log.

Here is the debug log, the overlay with the debug log activated is enough to make the video stutter from the beginning, and I was overly optimistic: the reaction time between keypress and the menu is more like 6 seconds.

@bbcaddict As a test, try disabling pvr.hts and see if the OSD is more responsive - it looks like this add-on may be active during playback and there's only so much CPU available on a Pi Zero.

You can also test older test builds and try to determine when this issue first started with these Kodi 19 builds.

That's not really an option: the hts plugin is where I'm getting my video from (the purpose of this experiment is to get satellite tv from a tvheadend server to an old tv in the kitchen). For the same reason I cannot try an older build since pal output only started working recently Undecided.
Edit and when I say that 18.4 is butter smooth, that's with the hts plugin too.
Edit2 anyways, I tried playing a video from an nfs mounted directory and it does exactly the same.
Edit3 actually not quite that bad, but then I was playing a lower bitrate video.

If composite/PAL worked with 9.1.501 (but not 9.1.502) then you might find that a Kodi 19 test build from 2-3 months ago is working on your Pi Zero and could allow you to bisect this issue (assuming it also started more than 2-3 months ago). Alternatively copying the latest firmware (start.elf, fixup.dat, bootcode.bin) over an older build might work, but is more effort.

Unfortunately unless anyone else can offer a useful insight/suggestion it may be difficult to pin down the change that is causing this issue.

Actually I don't know when the firmware stopped working with pal, I just tried libreelec because raspbian buster didn't work Angel
If I put an older tgz in the .update directory will it downgrade? I'm asking because configuring the wifi is a chore with the keyboard (my password is 64 random characters) and I never managed to configure connman by editing its files (which I could do by moving the sd card to my pc).

I think someone else said composite stopped working with 9.1.502.

Yes if you copy an older tar into the update folder and reboot it will downgrade and retain existing WiFi settings.

I just downgraded to 9.1.501 and it does not work. Next stop: 9.0.2.
Edit 9.0.2 mostly works but, like more recent releases, the screen calibration isn't stored and it cannot zap between channels Confused
