Hello,

popped back to have a look at the latest advances. :-)



With the latest build ( 0526 ) I get immediate freezing of live tv using VDR.

It occurs within choosing of any channel? ( sd or hd )

Heres the log:
http://xbmclogs.com/pypiwhiii

the behaviour starts at 22:19:42 for this log

Any ideas?

Kodi related or VDR related?

Many thanks

pootler

Should be another HEVC/H.265 performance boost with this (and reduction in arm cpu)

Yes, I'm seeing quite a significant reduction in ARM usage, however Sintel 720p has visual streaks during playback, and Sintel 1080p is now quite a bit more juddery (despite ARM CPU being lower).

Sintel 720:


This is with bcmstat *not* running - I had a lockup with Sintel 1080p and bcmstat running.

I'm not seeing the same horizontal streaks in Sintel 1080p that I am with Sintel 720p, instead I'm seeing blue/purple pixellation with Sintel 1080p:



(and when I stopped playback of the above video, the RPi2 froze solid - network lost, bcmstat hadn't been running)

@MukiDA I had the same problem but found using mkvtoolnix to set the stereo mode to 1 give me a picture, but on playback its dropping a lot of frames.

I guess I'm probably gonna lurk for a few days ('n check the notes for each release) to see if it's a known issue that's already being worked on.

Today's log with the error, more clear https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9_XmyO...sp=sharing
Something wrong with audio rendering?

Uhm... here I'm experiencing a regression - more stuttering.

One last thing:
subtitles position adjustment doesn't not work on last builds.

Just verified with #0527, no more problems with mkv files with attachments.

Can you change resampling quality to high (away from GPU accelerated) and report if it helps?

I would also recommend adding "Frame Packed" as a 3D type, outright, rather than attempt to implement it into an existing stereoscopic setup.

I have also the problem, 3D full frame doesn't play anymore. i get also the black screen but with sound

I'm not seeing this in my test environment. We added three commits in #521 - I'll revert one tonight and the others on subsequent days if the issue is still present.

popcornmix,
It seems to be helping. I unable to repeat the bug yet. Too hard for RPi, if the audio DTS HD MA 7.1. Stuttering sound.

I disabled "8ch decoding", ok now

Ah, we had a miscommunication: 521 is fine. It's playing 3D films properly. It is the builds AFTER 521 that have the issues present. (unless you meant that you were reverting *to* those 3 commits, in which case, carry on! I'll keep you posted as to the performance on the next few days' builds)

May 28th build seems better (no blackscreen), but playback is still sluggish, e.g. it's still experiencing the previously-mentioned "dropped frames". If it helps, when I press the "o" key, it looks like OpenELEC is generally running at 12 to 20fps on a 24fps film. However, in previous builds, I'd get ~10fps during playback and the video was still smooth.
