RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 17.0) - schub - 2015-12-13

Hi,

iam also testing some new builds now and then.
I have tested #1212 with a empty /.kodi folder and it seems
while watching Videos all the memory is eaten up.
It is impossible to watch a 90-minute Video.
If OMX-Player is disabled the problem maybe solved,
but i didn't had time to make a long time test to find out
if VideoPlayer is also affected.
I have a Raspberry Model B and watching mainly MPEG2 Interlaced TV Records.
Can someone confirm this behavior?

BR

Not heard of this. There is a memory leak with ASS subtitles but that seems unlikely to be used by TV recordings.
How are you determining memory use? Note that linux uses unused memory as a file cache so it is normal for free memory to decrease with time. However the file cache is released when memory is required elsewhere.
Does kodi eventually exit with an out-of-memory error in dmesg log?
Is this a new problem? If so can you identify the first build with this issue?

debug log for #1204 where catchup playback working correctly Cool

debug log for #1212 where catchup playback not working correctly Sad
(stuttering playback with what appears to be loops around same couple of seconds of stream play with artifacts)

Not sure if it's related but in #1212 you have:
Code:
12:06:45 18.736137 T:1758458784 NOTICE: Start - EPG thread started 12:06:45 18.897980 T:1758458784 ERROR: SQL: [TV29.db] SQL error or missing database Query: 12:06:45 18.905327 T:1758458784 ERROR: CommitInsertQueries - failed to execute queries

You don't have this error in #1204.

So the problem is first seen with build #1210?

I have noticed this since my kids were not able to completely view our recorded movies.
Every now and then to movie stops without any reason and the raspberry is not accessible via SSH anymore
and i have to power it off.
Today a had time to open an SSH-session while watching video and saw
the the oom killer had stopped TVHeadend backend running on the pi.
After that i upgraded to #1212 and emptied .kodi folder.
Now with my freshly install i watched some videos while running bcmstat
and that show an steadily increasing used memory until i shutdown kodi.

I don't have and use subtitles at all.

Can you identify the first build with this problem?
Can you confirm it is kodi.bin (rather than tvheadend backend) that is consuming the memory?
Does it occur with omxplayer enabled/disabled?
Does it occur with "sync playback to display" enabled/disabled?

Ok, i will do some tests, but it will take some time.
Iam sure kodi.bin will consume the memory, because it is freed if i stop kodi.
Identifiying the first build could be problematic, because the last build i used
seem to also have this problem. The build has this hash de72f07669414925f3fde745fb860bc5d4d193d8
and was eventually around Sep/Oct 2015.
If i have any news i will post asap.

Yes, just reinstalled #1210 again and here is debug log with playback issues as previously mentioned and with #1209 here is debug log with no playback issues evident for identical catchup content.
(Note: I selected a different program catchup from that selected for earlier comparison test/debug logs)

Regarding EPG error query, I am using TVHeadend backend and frontened on my PI. Hopefully this re-run of comparison and latest debug logs will help?


RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 17.0) - Trespasser - 2015-12-13

Just installed build #1212, hoping the libressl problem with login to Pandora has been fixed, but, alas, it hasn't. I hate to do a complete re-install of Isengard 15.2 to get back to square one, so is there a manual fix for this problem while running #1212?

Thank you.

Bob

No, you're stuck on #1115 until the certificate issue is resolved.

Hope information is useful/helpful.

Thanks. I can reproduce the issue and have identified the commit (from fernetmenta's branch) that causes the problem.
I've reverted for now, and reported it, so ITV player should be working in the next build.

Great will continue to update to latest Testbuilds and happy to occasionally be of some limited help Blush

Local Media with access to internet for associated information along with Live TV + Catch-Up streaming works so very well on PI with OpenELEC which is down to some very dedicated individuals tirelessly working together. Thanks very much to all those involved SmileSmileCool

Has there been any progress in resolving the Certification problem causing Pandoki / Pandora logins to fail? I doubt that this issue affects many people but I have had to revert to Kodi 15.

Perhaps the CA_Certification change could be reverted for the current builds.

RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 17.0) - J_E_F_F - 2015-12-14

I am running #1128 Jarvis nightly on a rPi2 with no addons. There seems to be quite a few problems with addons in these 17/k builds. Is this a continuation of the nightlies from the 16/j series, or a completely new 17/k build? IE, if I was mostly happy with the 16 nightlies for the past few months with the occasional nightly hiccup, can I expect the same from these early stage 17/k builds on a stock rPi2?
