The video does not cause any problem in Kodi under windows.

More details needed. How does it fail? Debug log? Sample file?
Is this a regression? i.e. does it work with an earlier build and if so when did it stop working?

OE 5.95 does not plays also

#528 fixes the 3D-black-screen, but 3D MVC stutters heavy. I get a lot of frame-skips. I have setup an advancedsettings.xml with cachmembuffersize but it stutters in the same way, so it seems nothing to do with caching. Reverting to #521 cures that

Neither vlc nor mplayer will play the file. You get these errors:

True, I can play it with Kodi on linux, but I think the file is invalid.

This file playing Kodi (lost beta, Win10), on old ati hd3200, plays WMP (whole movie, not this piece). Plays even built-in player in the budget TV Thomson. No any problem. Yes, the file is not ideal, but i've got a problem only with RPi.

Starting with 0527 hyperion/lightberry is not working anymore. A downgrade to 0526 fixes the issue. Is there some new config setting?

If you hooked up your LED strip via SPI then that could be due to the switch to spi-bcm2835 in the kernel/devicetree. Could you check if adding dtoverlay=spi-bcm2708 to config.txt helps?

@Milhouse: haven't checked your latest builds yet but you might need to enable CONFIG_SPI_BCM2835 in the kernel config.

Build #529 - RPi2, 3D Television

SSIF files no longer show up in file views. (More than likely this was part of the revert)

Three display options show up in videos:
- DESKTOP
- 1080p Side-By-Side
- 1080p Top-And-Bottom

Choosing Desktop or Side-By-Side:
1. 3D MVC MKV files play just fine, but in 2D
2. 3D SBS/TAB videos play in 2D regardless of what "3D Mode" I set during playback from the 3D menu in the playback GUI

Choosing TAB:
1. TV switches to 3D mode
2. 3D MVC MKV files don't play; They pause upon starting and show nothing but black. Nothing shows unless I call up a GUI element
3. 3D SBS/TAB videos play just fine in 3D

It's not enabled, but I'll add it in the next test build and we can see if it makes any difference (in which case, this would need to go upstream with an OpenELEC Pull Request etc.) - if there's no difference I'll drop it again (to avoid an unnecessary difference against upstream).

Tip: If anyone needs to check the config.gz in OpenELEC:

This did the trick. Thank you!

@gandharva/@HiassofT: I've uploaded test builds with the addition of CONFIG_SPI_BCM2835=y, can you test and confirm if there is any difference (you may need to temporarily undo any spi-bcm2708 change, although Hiassoft may be able to advise as I'm not really familiar with the Hyperio/Lightberry):

#0529b RPi / RPi2

#529 fixes the 3D issue for me.

CONFIG_SPI_BCM2835=y works. This build restores the old behaviour.

Setting
in config.txt now is (again) enough to get hyperion/lightberry working.

I don't have any ambilight hooked up to SPI but can also confirm that with this build the SPI driver loads fine (dtparam=spi=on) and by adding dtoverlay=spi-bcm2708 the old driver gets used.

In my wolfson/cirrus builds (which need SPI to control the card) I currently have both SPI drivers enabled as modules - like in bcmrpi_defconfig - but compiling them into the kernel seems to work fine, too.

My understanding is that the old spi-bcm2708 should eventually go away (and CONFIG_SPI_BCM2708 can be disabled) but I think it's best to have both available for now in case something doesn't work fine with spi-bcm2835.
