thanks rbej for all your releases!
Yeah, thank you guys!
Thanks Rbej.

Arr.. Can't get the NTP to Work, even when I type in a NTP server, in OpenELEC Configuration 0.1.25 :-(

Any idea's ?

This has been broken for me for the past 3 or 4 versions. I haven't figured a way around it. What bugs me is almost no one complaining about it so it must be working for some folks but not others. I always to a clean installation, maybe others are doing an upgrade or saving the configuration they have from a previous version and restoring it?

Yes, it's working for me, but I'm always updating from a version where ntp was working before.
If anyone has this problem and can work out what the solution is, it would be helpful.

I upgraded from Frodo 12.1 to Gotham recently and NTP seems to be working for me, so maybe there's something left over from Frodo (on Storage) that's helping it work?

Code:
wait_for_inet_addr
and you can specify an alternative timeout by assigning a value (in seconds) to WAIT_NETWORK_TIME (see /etc/profile.d/21-connman.conf for more info).

Thanks but I tried

WAIT_NETWORK_TIME=30
wait_for_inet_addr

and it still doesn't mount for me.
I've been trying out some overclocks now that I seem to have got it stable at default

I tried

arm_freq=1000
core_freq=500
sdram_freq=600
over_voltage=6

but that hung after a small bit of linux boot text

arm_freq=1000
core_freq=500
sdram_freq=500
over_voltage=6

went further but it seemed to show a lot more linux boot text than usual and ultimately hung after mounting the USB stick

arm_freq=950
core_freq=450
sdram_freq=450
over_voltage=6

works OK, although I did get a phantom keypress loop almost straight away (in the shutdown menu).

I've got initial_turbo=30 set, which if I recall correctly is meant to prevent the overclock from kicking in for a while during boot but I might have misunderstood.

After booting and once the XBMC Home screen appears, the debug OSD shows the CPU is loaded (85%+) and the used RAM is changing rapidly for 27s before it stops and settles down to about 45%. This seems like a long time for it to stabilise and it's obviously going to be a bit laggy navigating during this time whilst the CPU is almost fully loaded already. Is this normal? I'm not doing any scans at startup or anything like that.

Log here http://pastebin.com/ff9jxa9w (I pressed some buttons to mark once it had settled, at 11:48:15, which means that XBMC must have loaded the Home screen around 11:47:48)

I uploaded the previous log, with Debugging disabled, here in case it's useful for comparison http://pastebin.com/DGf2xnri
Do core and sdram make much difference to XBMC? I understand arm is the main CPU so I'd expect that to make a difference to the speed of the GUI and doing tasks, etc but what does core do?

core includes the L2 cache that the ARM uses, so does make a noticable difference.
For arm speed, arm_freq is most important, then core_freq, then sdram_freq.
Will update tonight and see how it goes.

Thanks guys!

Can you please take a look at my log http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=39243
Its from this build in this post http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1468727

My problem is that channel change from a channel with ac3 audio to a channel with mpeg2 audio always fail.

So channel change from channel with audio:
Ac3->Ac3 , ok
Ac3->mpeg2, not ok
mpeg2->Ac3 , ok

If i stop playback first mpeg2, ok

Can you produce a sample file that shows the problem?

If you're bumping up your sdram_freq, you probably also want to increase your over_voltage_sdram to avoid memory corruption.

Ok maybe have to clarify that is live-tv i`m talking about. But here is 2 diffrent recording samle. One with ac3 audio and one with mpeg audio
