Yes, Happy Christmas miappa and thanks for the builds. I'm sure they've helped out a lot of early adopters and will make the final release more stable.

Thanks guys, and merry christmas to all!

And thanks team Kodi for all hard work bringing this awesome software to us users.
Special thanks to popcornmix for all work you put into making our Pi´s much better than anyone could anticipate not so long ago.

P.S: I´ll keep pushing Raspbmc builds as long as OSMC is in development and there are new features to test. I have been traveling a lot lately though so there might be some days between builds.

No, it can't.

Not even in the future with a new firmare that uses hardware acceleration?

X264 is decoded in hardware, x265 isnt in hardware so would be software only decode, and the pi hasnt the juice to do that.

Sorry, not able to decode on the raspberry pi.

Anyone noticed while playing video with external subtitles some frames are played faster. Seems its not dropping frames and Kodi tries to compensate playing them faster.
Im only running kodi. No other process. Is the a dropping frame option?
Using OMXplayer.

NB! Please note that I have not had the oppurtunity to test this build myself.
Also, if you are on latest Raspbmc update you shouldn't have to use the enable Kodi script.

Updated Kodi 15 build, Kodi master from Dec 24 (last commit) + newclock4 commits.

Kodi Master:
Master changelog

Newclock4 additions:
• [demuxer] Avoid memcpy on every demuxer packet
• Updated: Disable autoscrolling while on screensaver.

GPU firmware from Dec 19 included:
• arm_loader: Fix negative voltage offsets through mailbox interface
• gencmd: Show extra decimal digit on voltage reported
• gencmd: Add gencmd to read boot RSTS (e.g. to check for watchdog reset)
• gencmd: Add memory test gencmd
• DT: Add config.txt device_tree_param mechanism

NB! To be able to run this build you must be on latest Raspbmc update (Kodi).

To install Kodi build, SSH to Pi:
Code:
wget -O kodi-14-20141226-nc4.tar.gz http://goo.gl/r5h7q1 --no-check-certificate
pv kodi-14-20141226-nc4.tar.gz | tar xzf - -C /home/pi/.upgrade
sudo cp /home/pi/.upgrade/kodi-14-20141226-nc4/{fixup_x.dat,start_x.elf} /boot
ln -sfn /home/pi/.upgrade/kodi-14-20141226-nc4/xbmc-bcm /home/pi/.xbmc-current
sudo reboot
Note that I named the build wrong as I haven't updated my scripts (should say Kodi-15), but it doesn't affect anything else.

DO NOT UPGRADE - Database migration is broken (even if you start from fresh) in 15 on any platform.

Are you saying you are affected by this problem (duplicate actors => failed db upgrafe) or just flagging this up as a potential problem (it's not clear why it happens, or how many users might be affected - at this point it's looking like a minority).

If you've got any information that you can contribute (method to reproduce, debug logs, SQL logs if using MySQL etc.), that would be great to have.

The migration fails miserably on both MySQL and MariaDB and results in a broken database, so can't use.

Starting from fresh results in a database that somewhat works but still has errors with larger sets of films or TV shows.

The problem is known and has been posted to kodi's bug trackers as it isn't platform specific.

But it looks like I can re-create the scenario..

I've a fairly large TV Show and Movie collection. I use Media Companion to initially scrape nfo file, artwork etc. I then migrate that into XBMC with the standard scrapers on at the moment. Now and again I've done a database export to clean-up artwork and nfo file details (especially when I've updated a film for the latest IMDB rating)

I then do a Database update on a Windows 8.1 machine running the latest Nightly version. So I could roll back to Kodi-14, re-scan everything (would take a few hours, given the collection size) and either do a Database table dump of the MyVideos90 or a log dump of general and error on MariaDB (or both) and I'm happy to test any new build with the latest pull merged in (https://github.com/Montellese/xbmc/commi...db4e3adfc0)

I am interested to hear what the cause of this issue is....hoping that it isn't anything Media Companion has introduced......

Any chance you can narrow it down to a single tvshow (and associated nfo files)?
