RE: RaspBMC XBMC test builds - thomas.parquier - 2013-11-04
Sorry I misspoke : the problem affects only the sound.
There are few hd channels in france, only one has bad sound.
RE: RaspBMC XBMC test builds - PeaceMkr - 2013-11-04
Hey popcorn, should this release make dts-hd available or are your patches not relevant for this kind of audio-streams? because i tried out right now and my avr only shows DTS. Also for me these RaspBMC-Releases are a little more "buggy" then the latest RBEJ-Releases with HD-TV and also with Movies. I had some hangups and reboots while testing last hours. Ive only tried out because of HD-Audio but if someone would confirm that this is still not possible i would stay at my openelec-build.. :-)

RE: RaspBMC XBMC test builds - miappa - 2013-11-04
Hangups and reboots is most likely PSU or overclock related (or a combination).
The builds I have provided here should be very stable (I run them on 2 Pi´s and I haven´t got a hangup or similar since my glorious overclock-testing days
).If you got all your hardware (and settings) stable you should not have any hangups and definitely not reboots.

No DTS-HD suport in any builds. The most the Pi can support with passthrough is 6 channel DTS or AC3.
Latest builds do support mulitchannel PCM audio (up to 8 channels), but ffmpeg cannot decode DTS-HD, so you will only get the 6 channel core anyway.
RE: RaspBMC XBMC test builds - PeaceMkr - 2013-11-04
I run a moderate overclock on both of my pis and on openelec i dont have any single reboot. The uptimes there are very good.
Maybe the other pi behaves a little others then my mainpi. Should test that out. I also like raspbmc a bit more because of the full linux-acc but it needs to be stable.
miappa, could you answer my question if hd-audio should work with your releases? I know that a longer time ago someone has written in the raspberry-forum that a developer works on that but not sure how far that development is right now...
RE: RaspBMC XBMC test builds - miappa - 2013-11-05
Updated Gotham build, also from popcornmix´s newclock3, rebased on Gotham Nov 4.
Popcornmix´s ”speed” patches has been merged in XBMC master + a lot of other stuff which makes this a bit more experimental than previous builds as it is early November merge window. I was a bit curious about new things in XBMC master but still wanted a few patches in popcornmix´s newclock3.
Confluence has changed quite a bit, specially in settings and dialogs (I like it), it also seems like skin code might have changed so there might be some glitches in other skins.
Edit: New firmware from "next" tree recommended (see below).
To install, SSH to Pi and:
Code:
cd .upgrade
wget -O xbmc-13-20131104-newclock3.tar.gz http://goo.gl/kTe38Z --no-check-certificate
mkdir -p xbmc-13-20131104-newclock3
tar -xzf xbmc-13-20131104-newclock3.tar.gz -C xbmc-13-20131104-newclock3It is recommended that you update firmware from ”next” tree as explained in post #1 (see post below from popcornmix).

There was a commit today to next firmware tree that improves stream silence when used in combination with multichannel PCM audio,
and could possibly help other audio glitch issues.
RE: RaspBMC XBMC test builds - miappa - 2013-11-05
Ok, thanks!
Link on first page is to latest from next, but I will edit my posts regarding this.
RE: RaspBMC XBMC test builds - miappa - 2013-11-05
On latest build (20131104), XBMC crashes when trying to open CEC settings.
Tried 3 different skins (including confluence) just in case that was the problem.
I have not tried latest nightly from top of Gotham.
Cannot see anything specific in log but here goes: http://pastebin.com/i8Bdmi7s

Yes, it's this commit:
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/3453
I've commented on it.....
...and a fix:

RE: RaspBMC XBMC test builds - miappa - 2013-11-05
Nice
RE: RaspBMC XBMC test builds - Dam0 - 2013-11-06
runs very nicely, thanks
but pls is there a way to stop addons being marked as broken? or do the addons simply require updating from their devs?
tia,
Dam0
RE: RaspBMC XBMC test builds - miappa - 2013-11-07
Even though there might be issues with addons and versions (Frodo/Gotham), I don´t think they should be marked as broken unless they really are broken.
But I am not certain (do not use many addons myself), perhaps specific addons are marked broken on Gotham.
Either way I guess you should take this up with the addon devs.
RE: RaspBMC XBMC test builds - miker25 - 2013-11-08
I seem to be missing the add video's option while the add music option still exists. This is in the latest release.
RE: RaspBMC XBMC test builds - miappa - 2013-11-08
Hey miker,
I´m not seeing this (tested on Confluence and Amber), do you mean in video file mode where you add sources?
What skin are you using?
Latest is probably a little unstable as it is from when November merge window just opened, and I believe there has been some changes in the GUI and skin code so there might be issues.
