Here is the dump of the audio/video packets with timestmps:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/8870494/

Before the glitch both audio and video have timestamps of around 50202 seconds.
After the glitch the video jumps to 25 seconds, but the audio remains at 50202 seconds.

It appears that this continues indefintely.
The sample you gave only has about 3 seconds of data after the glitch. Could you capture one that continues for about 30 seconds after the glitch just to prove that audio does jump later.

Now, if we have lost packets during the glitch, and video timestamps jump by a random amount, but audio packets don't jump by the same amount then I don't know how we can play with the audio and video in sync.

I've asked FernetMenta for advice as I can't see a solution. Maybe there is some other message somewhere that describes the timestamp jump.
At the moment it feels like a bug in the PVR backend.

here are two long samples.. let me know if you need more or longer ones..

I confirmed this by compiling 3.17 myself on raspbian, which behaved the same as OpenELEC. 4.95.1 and today's build both don't work, as expected.

Okay. Anyone with a DAC or DIGI (not the + versions)? Can you test if hifiberry works? Does GPU accelerated resampling also work?

I have a hifiberry digi and it doesn't work with 4.95.1. I haven't tested gpu accelerated resampling.

I'm getting the same error messages with this build as I've reported earlier on. Let me know if output from dmesg/lsmod under 4.95.1 can be of any use.

Fwiw: based on the error messages and pouring through the source the actual error seems to be produced by core.c when called from the wm8804 codec. As the hifiberry driver apparently depends on this codec it also fails.

Hence does anybody know what is meant when core.c produces error code "-517" and fails to get either PVDD or AVDD?

Best regards

The problem with iso's previously reported appears agian. I had no problem with previous build (#1105)

Edit: Build #1018 plays it, #1019 to 1023 does not.

Edit:
I did a random check on my iso's.

build #1019 to 1023: Some but not all with no menus does not start playing. All of those I checked with menus played well.

Build #1018: all seems to play fine

The problem with iso's previously reported appears agian. I had no problem with previous build (#1105)

Ahk, it's been merged now. Do you have a sample of an ISO that doesn't play over SMB with #1106 but which does with #1105?

Can you also provide a debug log from #1105 AND #1107 (upload both to pastebin), to see the difference in behaviour. I've posted a note on PR:5660.

Something happened in either #1105 or #1106 (I skipped the first) which is causing existing library entries of DVD copies to be included again on a rescan with all containing VOB files to be added as separate movies. The movie name of the VOB files is being determined based on the file name, thus resulting in a massive list of bogus entries in the library.

Any idea which commit it causing it or do you know of the issue? Else I'm going to try #1105 as well to see if it occurs in that build already. I'd like to prevent this if I can because it's a PITA to manually remove all the entries one by one again.
If you can determine the build when the problem starts that will help. Also are you scanning over NFS, SMB, or something else?

@popcornmix here is a longer sample. here i waited till audio and video actually resume even though they stutter/seem slow

The next build will revert e502b099 once again - can you please test your troublesome DVD ISOs over SMB with both #1107 (shouldn't work) and tonight's #1108 build (might work?), and let me know the results.

All three of your longer samples seem to have correct timestamps and play without pausing or out-of-sync issues for me.
S2.rar is the only file that has behaved badly for me (but based on the information available in the file, I don't know how it can be fixed).

There are many differences between watching live and playing the same file from a recording.
One obvious one is that a live source can only be read from in real time. A file can be read much quicker.
E.g. if the player's concept of time is ten seconds ahead of the demuxer, a live stream will pause for ten seconds. A file will be able to catch up much more quickly.

There are other differences in behaviour between live and file playback (e.g. in decisions made about buffering), and there's no guarantee that the PVR backend writes
the same data to the file when recording as it does when playing live.

@Bohlendach: Due to the unexpected critical changes between the last two builds, such as ffmpeg bump, can you compare #1108 (above, without e502b099) and #1108b (identical to #1108 but *includes* e502b099).

Thanks for you answer. I tried a different backend box with different software and get exactly the same issue. Also i am playing live streams,no timeshift etc.

I made a further experiment, I placed two kodi + 1 vlc next to each other playing the same livetv stream Kodi 1 has the openelec build of the 18th (with commit) and kodi 2 is last nights build. I glitch the live stream and kodi 1 recovers within a couple of seconds, vlc does the same whilst kodi 2 remains stuck for over a minute.

Maybe you can add an optional parameter to add the commit of the 18th, or even better just use it for livetv since there should not be the timestamp issue found on the disc you were trying to address with the original fix, and anyway cannot jump on a live stream..

I also notice that there is a slight difference between raspberry pi and windows on the windows version it behaves exactly the same, but displays buffering 0% whilst the video is jammed on pi the video is jammed but buffering does not show on screen. In reality since this is a live stream do we need to resync (i.e. it is not like we can go back or forward in time like in a file)

I also downloaded a glitching stream straight from backend to to disk via chrome browser https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5174...-0-0-.mpeg as per your tests, this file works perfectly with and without the commit what i think is happening is that being a file, kodi can jump on resync, while for a live stream (not a stream like youtube where one can seek) after a glitch, kodi make a request to seek another portion of stream and that is not available and so gets stuck at buffering 0%
Thanks again for the continued development of openelec. This is absolutely fantastic and really amazing to see how magic this small device can be...

One question - will there be a stable openelec helix release? I would like to move away from moving nightlies and the upcoming Helix release may be a good moment to do so. Quite obvious how this works for OSX, Win7 et al, but not fully transparent how this works with the openelec builts.

Of course - OpenELEC 5.0 Beta 1 is now available, with a final stable release planned towards the end of the year. Just switch to the "official" beta/rc/release builds by dropping the tar into your Update folder etc.
