Dropping frames/audio when not in fullscreen - xxxnelly - 2013-01-05
Hi All,
I am getting this issue that as appeared in the last in latest openelec build (OP3RC1) so it is running XBMC Frodo RC3.
Full log link
It seems that when I am playing a channel the then go back to the EPG Timeline or any other screen it starts to throw errors in the ffmpeg.
I wanted to check if anyone else is getting this?
Thanks,

Check your audio settings. Your Sony supports 2 channels, hence set layout to 2.0. Output stereo to all speakers off, enable pass through only for AC3. Make sure NOT to allow gui sounds during playback.

Thanks Fernetmenta.
I have checked my audio settings and updated (are they still wrong?) - I noticed it happens more using the xperience1080p/ refocus skin.
with xperience skin
with confluence skin

Can you try deleting your TVxx.db? Player starts with AC3 audio stream, then when channel settings get loaded it switches to mpeg. Audio stream stalls and it alternates between those 2 audio streams.
RE: Dropping frames/audio when not in fullscreen - xxxnelly - 2013-01-06
Thanks for looking.
I deleted the channel setting but removing the TVxx.db, then replayed. it should be using the AC3 stream, but still has the same issue.

Should it not be able to cope with switching to mpeg anyway?
RE: Dropping frames/audio when not in fullscreen - FernetMenta - 2013-01-06
Yes it should but your system gets in a loop of errors and can't recover. Audio stream stalls and it looks like the audio sink gets restarted due to buffer underruns. One reason for this to happen can be a large offset in audio/video timestamps. can you duplicate the issue with other sources than tvheadend?
RE: Dropping frames/audio when not in fullscreen - xxxnelly - 2013-01-06
I just tried a movie, and it still the same - its only when I move from fullscreen, the channels or movies play fine unless I am browsing EPG or movies etc,
As I said this seems to just happened lately - I will need to step back through versions to before the exact one.

Thanks again.
RE: Dropping frames/audio when not in fullscreen - FernetMenta - 2013-01-08
Any progress on investigation? Do you know the last version working?
RE: Dropping frames/audio when not in fullscreen - xxxnelly - 2013-01-09
I have tried everything I can think of...
Current setup
Acer Revo 3700 with OpenElec 3.0 RC1
1. Tried removing .xbmc folder - still the same after reconfigure
2. downgrading to 3.0 Beta6 (Beta5 doesnt seem to be able to download now)
I am not sure what else to do - i'll do more debugging/ troubling shooting tomorrow.
I am almost certain it worked with beta6, so I trying to work out anything else that has changed, I did move my TV/Hifi but again it is setup correctly again.
RE: Dropping frames/audio when not in fullscreen - coffeecup - 2013-01-09
I experienced similar problems a while ago and adding this to the advancedsettings.xml solved it for me:
Code:
<video>
<disablebackgrounddeinterlace>1</disablebackgrounddeinterlace>
</video>this will turn off deinterlacing when you leave fullscreen mode. Not sure if it will work for you but it's worth a try.
RE: Dropping frames/audio when not in fullscreen - xxxnelly - 2013-01-10
Thanks Coffeecup, but no it doesnt work. Any other thoughts?
RE: Dropping frames/audio when not in fullscreen - xxxnelly - 2013-01-12
I have installed xbmcubnutu and issue no longer exists, I have raised a openelec ticket and I will post on the forums
