@vanadu and @da-anda.

The builds for Rpi2 are specifically for Rpi2, that's what I meant.
It seems like your request is about asking Millhouse to build testbuilds for the wetek.
Hello !!

I asked before at http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=221050
Installed this last build (OpenELEC-RPi2.arm-6.0-Milhouse-20150519210208-#0519-gdd9b49e).
I use 3D DLP projector. (3D only working at 1280x720 120Hz, tested on win7+potplayer).

So, I setup kodi at 1280x720 120Hz. It seems resolution set correct. But strange is that I see on screen: 1280x720 120Hz (full screen=7,9 fps)... 8 fps...maybe this will cause problem.

Also I checked this:

But no 3D on screen.
When 3d movie started there was two picture (side by side),

Image

when enabling 3d (choose side by side), picture become one (but not 3d..it seems like 2d, there was not Left and Right picture), but Menu had two side.

Image

Any tip would be great.
Thanks

You need "adjust display refresh rate to match video" to be enabled for 3D support.

The Pi supports half-SBS, half-TAB and frame packed 3D modes. It doesn't support frame sequential or other standards.
Setting refresh rate to 120Hz won't do anything useful.
Thanks @popcornmix for replay.

I find hardware solution on ebay, cost about 100$ (DLP 3D Converter 2x1 HDMI 1.4 For 120Hz 3D Ready DLP Projector)
Due to 3D ready DLP projector can only receive 120Hz frame sequential format video to achieve 3D effect, so 2D and
3D format (SBS-H/TAB/FP) video can't be view in 3D ready DLP projector at 3D mode.This 3D ready DPL
media processor will help you to make it. It is the first converter to support 120Hz 3D ready projector HD video.


But, for now I would rather have software solution (for Pi2). Wink
So, The Pi never support 120Hz frame sequential format video (problem OpenGL)?

It may be possible from a hardware point of view, but as I don't have a display that supports frame-sequential 3D it's hard to add support for it.
Also as most 3D TV's support do support half-SBS, half-TAB or frame-packed 3D output, supporting another less common format will be low priority.

It is on my list of things I'd like to look into, but no promises of when it will happen.
OK @popcornmix.Thank you very much.
I see on forum a few people asked for 3D DLP projector support.
If others people interested for this. We should think to collect donation for this job.

@Leopold (and also @ivota as your splash video is also being cut short), could you try the following:
Code:
wget http://www.nmacleod.com/public/oebuild/psmon.sh -O /storage/psmon.sh

then add the following line to the beginning of /storage/.config/autostart.sh (after "#!/bin/sh", if you have it):
Code:
sh /storage/psmon.sh &

then reboot. Once the Pi/Pi2 has booted, wait 2 minutes, then paste the link for the following:
Code:
cat /tmp/psmon.log | pastebinit

You can now delete psmon.sh and remove the line from autostart.sh.

I assume myself, Milhouse, wrxtasy and slack3r have. What was the question?
The general consensus is that this build is an improvement on the previous one.

If you have a sample that is 720p and doesn't play well then provide a link and we'll look into it.

I find the work on HEVC/h.265 most exciting! This might finally be the reason I have been looking for to swap my Raspberry Pi B for a RPi2.

From what I have been reading the files that are working are 720p. Is there any chance that low bitrate 1080p files may work?

Also, are these files being run solely by software decoding?

Thanks in advance for any light you can shine on this topic.

There is some 1080p samples.

720p HEVC only files work, but even then about 1.5Mbps bitrate is the max. Complex and detailed camera panning scenes are enough to choke software decoding.

1080p low bit rate HEVC, is a non starter on the RPi2. Even when Turbo Overclocked. A dedicated Hardware decoder SoC, such as a AMlogic S805 handles all this without breaking a sweat. (tested up to 1080p @ 5Mb/s so far - video detail is superb!)

I checked out your post bout rpi2 vs odroid-c1....interesting

Here's one where the hdmi mode changed before the video ended.

Here's one where the splash played in full.
http://sprunge.us/XBBR

I found that disabling overclock seems to allow the splash to play in full. I rebooted 10 times with overclock disabled and that was the case every time.

With overclock enabled I rebooted 10 times and the splash was cut short 8 times out of 10. I guess there's some kind of race involved during the boot.
