RE: [beta] Xbmcbuntu 13 Testing Thread - opperpanter - 2014-05-02

Hello,

I tried the forum search, but couldn't find the answer.

I want to set the AE_SINK=ALSA option in Xbmcbuntu so that on reboot XBMC automatically starts with ALSA sink.

Where to set it?

I am using Xbmcbuntu 12.3, upgraded to ubuntu 14.04 and Gotham RC1.
But I guess the same question is there for the newest Xbmcbuntu.

Thanks,

Opper

EDIT: Found it:

Change the following line /usr/bin/xbmc-standalone:

XBMC="${bindir}/xbmc --standalone $@"

into

XBMC="env AE_SINK=ALSA ${bindir}/xbmc --standalone $@"

After that XBMC can see my HDMI / Receiver again.
Unfortunetaly I have no audio at all and my wireless keyboard stops working everytime I start a video.
But this is not the thread to discuss that.

EDIT2: I now read that more people are having issues with their keyboard no longer working. I guess I have to install the new xmcbuntu and see if I can reproduce it. It was working fine until today when I upgraded ubuntu from 13.10 to 14.04.

EditTongueroblem kind of solved (at least for me):

When excluding the SPDIF hardware from the ~/.asoundrc the playback issues are gone.

Original post:

Hi, me again Wink


I am using a custom ~/.asoundrc whch the same I used on my EDEN installation:

http://paste.ubuntu.com/7381879/

in order to direct all sound output to hdmi (which is my TV) and to the analog out (which is an analog stereo amp).

Now my problem is as soon I enable the dual output configuration, I face problems with video playback. It appears like video runs slightly (-10%) slow for 1 second and than catches up with double speed for 100ms ...

I have first observed the problem on Gotham Beta 4 after ubgrade to RC1 the problem persists

CPU Load is ~20% ... memory is plenty.

Actually from the beginning video does start only with a very slow frame rate. Then, when I do a fast forward and back to normal speed, I will run close to perfect, with the above described restriction.

I created debug log while the problem is observable:

http://paste.ubuntu.com/7381970/

One can lots see error messages stating

22:51:29 T:2673863488 DEBUG: CDVDPlayerAudio:: Discontinuity1 - was:36075396.565898, should be:36176282.007559, error:100885.441660

I have also created a good case log, in which audio is only streamed to hdmi

http://paste.ubuntu.com/7382024/

Here, the discontinuity errors are also observable, but only right at the beginning and at the end of the stream, which might eventually be kind of normal. And the playback is perfect.

I also checked only enabling analog out. And it also works without trouble.

Best Regards
Stephan

Hi,

one more thing:

On Eden, I was able to delete movies from my local storage directly from the context menu while browsing the movie database.

On Gotham RC1, I cannot do that, but I have to go to the file manager, where can not see the movie info.

Is this intended behavior or a bug ? Actually I like the behavior I experienced in Eden.

Best Regards
Stephan

You first have to enable "allow file deletion" in settings.

As mentioned earlier, I'm having issues with xbmc not recieving key press from my keyboard or flirc. It happened again and here are the logs.

Experiencing this too. Try disabling all video refresh-rate matching and see this topic

HI wsnipex,

Thanks for the hint. After some searching, I found the option in the filelist settings.

I tried the beta when it came out and this morning tried RC1. I get the same behaviour in both - a crash when I attempt to play a video.

Debug log

EDIT: Everything's working now with VAAPI disabled. Thanks @fritsch

RE: [beta] Xbmcbuntu 13 Testing Thread - fritsch - 2014-05-03

@bignickel:
Turn off VAAPI - you run a broken wrapper driver in front of your good VDPAU decoding support. Which just segfaults.

I was asking myself this too. I read that pulseaudio & asoundrc were removed in xbmcbuntu 13. But how can I send the xbmc output to multiple outputs now? (to hdmi/spdif and an analog amp) Previously we could use asoundrc to do this, but I don't know how this works with gotham?

Read the pulseaudio wiki entry, there is a special chapter about "combined" audio output. Multiple audio devices was never supported via xbmc, only pretty problematic hacks with asoundrcs where out there, which had no support at all.

Just installed the beta4 iso, and that's working fine. After that upgraded to 13.0 stable and still working fine!

Okay - then that should work. Btw. the original bug by this other user was a very slow cdrom drive. X timed out.

Yeah, I just thought people might want to know.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop on that other issue BTW.
