OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 16.0)
@Milhouse just noticed my overclock is not applied since installing this debug enabled version. Maybe that is why I couldnt reproduce. I will reapply the overclock and try again tomorrow, too tired now.

My overclock for pi2 was:
arm_freq 1000
core_freq 500
sdram_freq 500
over_voltage 6
over_voltage_sdram 0

initial_turbo 20
I jumped from build #0702 to roughly #0714, back to #0702 again, followed by going to #0901. Because db changes were introduced between #0702 and #0714 and the same thing happened between #0714 and #0901 I now got a db in #0901 not containing the contents of the #0702 db I used until yesterday. This because I assume #0901 updated from the #0714 db.

Is there a way to safely trigger an update from an earlier db again?
Is deleting files like MyVideos95.db and MyVideos94.db sufficient?

screensaver and video are working perfectly fine.

Anything else I could try?

Yeah, I don't think it would use MMAL at all if I hadn't and would default to ffmpeg. Only trying to use SD Freeview channels here (tvheadend back-end and front-end on RPi), so if it can cope with 1080i60 it should be a breeze but the only way I can get rid of the the stutter is to use OMX.

Yes, just shut down Kodi then delete your MyVideos94.db and MyVideos95.db (or rename them if you want to be ultra cautious) before booting into #0901 and your MyVideos93.db will be migrated to the latest version (95).

My best guess, considering the majority of users are not having this problem is a hardware fault.
You could try contacting the seller for a replacement.

Are you using a USB device for DVB-C/DVB-S? If so, try the stick on a normal PC using DVBViewer or similar. I also have these decoding dropouts on DVB-C plus total freeze after 3-4 hours of watching a channel. No problem on PC, might as well be a bug in the USB-driver.

I'm using a tevii s660 usb sat tv card. I used this card with openelec and tvheadend und my zbox ad02 (fusion e350) without problems.
Are further logs required?

But why should be the tv card the issue, mmal half works with all livetv channels.

Oh yeah I ignored this factum. I agree that in this case it is more likely a firmware bug.
Firmware is imho just not mature enough in its advanced features that really push the chip.
I haven't succeeded yet in producing a clip myself.

No change.

mmal half works.

mmal advanced at HD triggers a boost to 300MHz (of v3d clock).
The half version doesn't need the boost, nor does automatic (which uses bob for hd).

So my guess is that 300MHz v3d is not working on your Pi.
However with default config.txt settings (i.e. no v3d_freq or gpu_freq specified) and with disable_auto_turbo=1 you should still be running at 250MHz.

When running with default config.txt settings + disable_auto_turbo=1 and when getting the artefacts can you run:
Code:
vcgencmd measure_clock v3d
If it is zero then run a few times until you see a non-zero value and report what it is.

With this settings 300MHz v3d works, but still artefacts with mmal advanced:

artefacts are in recordings as well, even if I set deinterlacing to mmal half

Hm, 500 for the SDRAM doesn't work for a lot of people, is it a good idea to insert this as the only overclocking setting for the Pi2? All other modes seems to fit only for the Pi1 because of overvoltage 6.

This seems to affect channels when they use different formats/bitrates for ads and shows.

Thanks for detailed bug report. I can see the cause of the MMAL issue. If you disable deinterlace it should work correctly again (would be useful if you can confirm that).

Basically the video_decode component can generate notification messages. One of these is aspect ratio has changed.
However when deinterlace is enabled we tunnel video_decode to image_fx (which does the deinterlace) and that's where the notification goes, and kodi doesn't see it.

I suspect I'll need to plumb in similar notifications from image_fx to fix this problem.

Yes, I can confirm that with interlace disabled using MMAL kodi correctly changes aspect ratio but that with deinterlace set to 'auto' or 'on' the change in aspect doesn't occur.

Disabling deinterlace also fixes the lockup problem in OMXPlayer mode, so good news all round :-).
