Yes. Adding diagnostics might be the next step, possibly.

Thanks Milhouse

This latest build has fixed the only problem I was experiencing. It now correctly caches 20MB ahead.

Hi, developers!
I am from Russia. RU-interface works, even though not all is translated.

I watch anime and listen to anime OSTs and music from China, which have tracks tagged in hieroglyphic languages, and Kodi XBMC on RPi has a trouble with them in all releases:

Hieroglyphic characters are not displayed on the TV. Instead, I see squares, or something like that. Supplement "LRC Lyrics" have, а has the same problem.

All tags are correct and encoded in UTF-8.

Web interface and Yatse (Android remote controller) does not have this problem.

Locale in ssh-console set as the "POSIX", "locale-gen" is not found and "apt-get" is disabled. I hereby ask you very much to add support for japanese and chinese glyphs. Thank you.

Noticed recently that whilst using Leopold's "OpenELEC Dev Update" program addon to easily update to latest Milhouse builds that automated backup before update option (Installed with lepold addon?) has stopped working, with message "backup error, check log"

Link to kodi.log with debug additionally switched on when downloading/updating to #0522

http://sprunge.us/HAaW

i.e. ERROR: ExecuteAsync - Not executing non-existing script /storage/.kodi/addons/script.xbmcbackup/scheduler.py

I think but am not really sure that issue may have started with recent "OpenELEC Dev Update" to continue to work with and update to latest Milhouse builds.

Update---2015-05-25---->

Solved my specific problem with combination of removing Dev Update and then Backup addons and then re-installing Backup addon before Dev Update addon.

Backup before applying Milhouse testbuild update all via handy Leopold Dev Update addon; working again Blush

Under Settings->Appearance->Skin->-Fonts, choose 'Arial Based'. It works for me to show Chinese characters (UTF-8) in filename, not sure about lyrics.

Only certain 'skin' provide arial based fonts, Amber, Confluence, CCM Helix (or other Confluence MODs),

(2015-05-23, 09:37)Milhouse Wrote: [ -> ][*]MVC and 3D support updates

Latest build should automatically detect 3D MVC files (in mkv and probably mp4 containers) as 3D without having to name the file with 3D.SBS/3D.TAB.
Please test if that behaves correctly for you.

I've just tried to change the splash video and experienced similar issues :-

I converted a startup animation from another thread to annex-b using ffmpeg. On booting it plays for about 1-2 seconds and gets cut short. If I try to play the video within Kodi itself once booted then I get further with about 4-5 seconds playing but it still stops a couple of seconds before the end of the video.

If I play the video on my desktop then it plays fine.

I've not tried using avconv to convert the video yet ... but this may be specific to videos converted with ffmpeg ?

I have never had any issue playing your original splash file ... and my converted file seems far smaller in file size.

(2015-05-21, 17:02)Leopold Wrote: [ -> ]I originally thought that the video may still be playing while the screen goes black during the video mode change, prior to the Kodi gui appearing. From the logging and the patched code I can now see that is not the case and that the video must be terminating before the hdmi mode change.

I'll modify the kodi-splash.sh script in the next build and capture stderr/stdout from the video player to /tmp/splash.log, maybe it's segfaulting.

If it is segfaulting, with the next build a core will be dumped into /storage/.cache/cores - upload the stacktraces as follows:
Code:
gdb /usr/bin/hello_video.bin --batch -ex "thread apply all bt" --core=$(ls -1 /storage/.cache/cores/core.*hello_video.bin*) | pastebinit

Thank you! It works! "LRC Lyrics" working too.
It was stupid of me - I'm not looked at the menu before the end. (/)_x)

Please test your h.265 files with the latest build. There should be another performance bump.
If you have any 720p files that don't play well with this build then please provide samples.

@rse... I don't think 0470bc37 has applied correctly against ffmpeg - it's only applied against kodi... checking.

Edit: Yep, it's going to need a tweak to the de-tooling logic... it's a squash so there's no Makefile which means this patch isn't processed correctly...

I'm sorry to ask this naive question. But I didn't find anywhere. I followed the instruction in the download

* Please read the instructions in our wiki (http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php?title=Installation) on how to install.


But it didn't work when I use image writer on windows to write the SYSTEM file in target folder to my microSD. Can anyone let me know how to install? Thanks!

Install a stable version like 5.0.8 then transfer the testbuild tar file to /storage/.update/ and reboot.

2015-05-24, 02:14
@kisas: These test builds are not disk images. Use an OpenELEC disk image downloaded from the OpenELEC site (5.0.8 or 5.95.1), then once your Pi1/Pi2 is booted copy the latest test build tar file into your Update folder and reboot.
