The same thing is happening in the stock OpenElec beta. Does anyone have any pointers?

If it's happening in the stock OE beta you'll need to bring it to their attention - if they don't see your post here, then post on the OpenELEC forum (there's a Beta 4 thread) or post technical details - lsusb, dmesg etc. - as an issue in the OpenELEC github.

Working back through my test builds to identify the build when the break occurred would also be useful to know and might allow the OE developers to focus on a solution.

@popcornmix since version #1125, 25-Nov-2014 and #1126, 26-Nov-2014, i have the same error with the hanging DVD Menu.

@popcornmix since version #1125, 25-Nov-2014 and #1126, 26-Nov-2014, i have the same error with the hanging DVD Menu.

And #1124 is still OK (not a testing fluke?)

Although it's possible the de-interlace commits changed between #1124 and #1125.

[Mister XY]

Yes, #1124 its ok.

My problem is that I'm unable to ssh into openelec I'm unable to reach it through samba share either...

I was on #1123 and I was able to upgrade to #1124 by putting .tar into Update shared folder few days ago. Now, I wanted to upgrade to #1126, but no luck. I'm unable to start samba via Openelec Addon - clicking on radio-button doeasn't help since every time I exit Addon and start it again - radio-button is disabled.

I've managed to put #1126 in /storage/.update by copiing it from USB flash drive and after reboot I'm upgraded, but still have no ssh nor smb access?!?

Any pointers are welcome..

[Milhouse]

@givo: Sounds like your /storage partition might be having problems (possible corruption) - probably best to run an fsck using a Linux computer. Also, if you add textmode to cmdline.txt and plug in a keyboard you should get a console when you boot OpenELEC that will allow you to view dmesg and look around to work out why ssh isn't working.

fsck did find and correct some errors but still no luck Looks like it's going to be a fresh install for me...

Did you try adding "textmode" to the end of your line in /flash/cmdline.txt, and look at dmesg or try to determine why ssh isn't working? It should confirm if your partition is hosed before you blow it away.

@popcornmix: I've lost GUI sounds with build #1127 - I'm seeing lots of OMX/audio related ERRORs in the log: http://sprunge.us/FhWG

The above log is a freshly started kodi.bin, waiting a couple of minutes until the system settles down, then moving from Movies to TVShows across the Home menu (01:03:07), I should hear a GUI click but there is no sound and the following errors appear in the log:

Code:

Also lots of errors playing back video - very stuttery, with no audio in dvdplayer (in the above log, video playback starts at 01:05:49). With omxplayer, there's audio but it's crackly and it sounds slowed down (half-speed) although video is playing back at the correct speed without stutters.

#1126 does not have this problem. Any suggestion which PR/commit to revert?

[Milhouse]

I copied the firmware from #1126 (Nov 23) to the #1127 system and the audio/video playback problems are all gone so it looks like the new Nov 26 firmware is the problem.

Beleive it or not - don't have keyboard at home. I was surprised myself, but there are only laptops, tablets, phones, ... no PC... I'll give it a try today - once I get a hold of keyboard...
