It was listed as item 5 in the 0722 release, "Known issue: Splash video is not appearing (and delays appearance of Kodi GUI by about 20 seconds)"

I'm sure it will get straightened out in the next few builds.

Oepz, totally missed that. Sorry about that .

Even though I saw it, when I booted the first time and saw nothing for ~20 secs it still freaked me out. Course I'd just messed with the overclock to lower it a bit since the latest firmware doesn't need as much of an overclock for 1080i60.

I have some problems with about 10% of my dvds ( iso and video_ts folder ). With Openelec 5.0.x they played ok and
on my amazon fire tv with kodi 15 they play ok also.

They start playing about 5 seconds and then the video stops forever. I see then always the last displayed image.
The sounds stops also but comes back after filling the cache. Plays 5 seconds. stops. fill cache. play 5 secs. stop .....

heres a debug log with two dvds ( one iso, one video_ts ). the first was startet at a certain point in the middle of the video.
The second one from beginning with the dvd menu.

debug log from build 0722

edit: This is not a new bug to 0722. I started using milhouse builds with some 05xx version. Problem was already there.

using omx player hw accelerated ( without sound because of alsa ) same problem, image stops after some seconds.

disable both hwaccel options ( dvd player software decode ) video does not stop anymore ! but unwatchable because of high cpu load.

I have some problems with about 10% of my dvds ( iso and video_ts folder ).

Does enabling "attempt to skip introduction before DVD menu" help?
Does disabling deinterlace (and then selecting "set as default for all videos") help?

Could you provide a sample file? With dvd images this is a little tricky but there are tools that allow you to delete or cut down the main feature but leave the menus intact.

tried it now, both does not help.

Sure i can provide it, can you tell me which tool could be used ? never used something like this.

[michidg]

tried it simply with the vob files directly and its the same problem.
here is the last vob file of a problem dvd:

Hello, i'm running these daily releases on my rpi2 and does someone know if these builds keep my hdd disks in my Nas always active ? When kodi is not in use but rpi2 is not shutdown

Seems to be the same problem ! downloaded his test file and also stops after some seconds.

Okay, both samples have the same issue. I've determined that firmware from about six months ago can play these files.
I've bisected it and found the commit "video codec: refactor userdata release mec hanics in categoriser".

Now, I don't know a lot about this code, and the commit is too large to make immediate sense.
I really need the author (Deborah) to help but she's not currently around.

I have determined that reverting this commit does succeed and allows the samples to play. If you want to try it then I've built a test firmware:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3669...150724.zip

However I suspect the commit was added for a reason, so it could cause issues (probably with MVC). But give it a try and report back how it works.

core_freq and gpu_freq - is not it the same thing? So core of what?

gpu_freq is a shorthand for specifying core_freq, v3d_freq, h264_freq and isp_freq.

So:

Code:

core_freq=500
gpu_freq=333

means

Code:

core_freq=500
v3d_freq=333
h264_freq=333
isp_freq=333

(an explicit setting like core_freq takes precedence over gpu_freq)

OK, this seems really weird

I have a RPi2 and used the following
arm_freq=1000
gpu_freq=333

I am using bcmstat.sh -c to view things.

After a reboot:
Arm is at 1000 until it finishes a library scan (good)
Core is at 333 until it finishes a library scan (good)
H264 is at 0 until it finishes a library scan (good)

Once library scan is complete
Arm reduces to 600 (good)
Core reduces to 250 (good)
H264 goes up to 250 and stays there (What the heck?)

This is all sitting at the desktop, not playing anything.

[Milhouse]

Add "force_turbo=1" otherwise the SoC will drop down to the stock minimum frequencies whenever it is idle, and only use your new higher frequencies when it is busy.

"vcgencmd measure_clock h264" is used to determine the current h264 clock frequency.

[J_E_F_F]

I'd prefer it drop back down when not needed. Just wondering why when it drops down, that H264 goes up?
H264 should remain at 0 unless a movie is playing.

[Milhouse]

Presumably because the H264 block was needed by something so became active, however I have noticed that when it is no longer being used there are times when it will remain "on" (in your case, at the lower idle frequency) rather than switch back down to 0MHz. Try playing an H264 movie, then stop playback, and see if the H264 block eventually goes back to 0MHz.
