It's not just the EPG screen being open that causes TV audio to break up and stutter, it's also on Home and other pages, so it seems there's an issue with having the GUI displayed whilst TV is playing. It hasn't always been a problem though. I note that the debug OSD shows XBMC using around 70% CPU at these times but overall the CPU is 97-100%. With TV visible, it's normally around 35-40% but on some programmes/channels it's been much higher, around 75% for some reason. When I get this audio breakup and then close the GUI to go back to TV, it tends to freeze and breakup the picture for maybe 10s before it sorts itself out and starts playing normally again.
One cool fix though, changing channel via the EPG now closes the EPG after the new channel has started whereas the EPG used to stay open and I had to press back twice to show TV again.

I can also confirm that the lirc ir receiver is not working on the latest build.
It's a bug in OE 3.2. I already opened a thread on the official forum but
I didnt receive a answer. When I downgraded to 3.1.7 it works. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I am having an issue with the current Gotham build.
If I reboot, it frequently freezes on the XBMC screen. It takes many reboots (over SSH) before booting successfully. I have not identified a factor that impacts which boot will be successful. It seems completely random.
Once it boots, it seems to run well.
I have not seen this behaviour with any previous build I had installed.
Anyone else see this? Workarounds?

At least the timestamp patch 2614 has now been committed on Gotham and Frodo branches, in future you should be able to tell by looking at /flash if you have an outdated kernel.img file.

This is Frodo not Gotham. If you dont believe check splash screen. Im use Gotham options (PROJECT=RPi ARCH=arm XBMC=master make release) when compiling Frodo and Gotham builds. So always is written Gotham, even as compile Frodo.
