What is better? Double or triple video buffering?

[fritsch]

We just need to know it ... it's no matter of what is better in our use case. Most important: Don't set 2 if you have 3 and don't set 3 if you have 2.

I think i can reproduce the memory leak.
I have 100Mbyte from the beginning of the uncured video.
Playing it aging and again resulted in kodi.bin being killed by the oom-killer.
Do you have any idea where to upload the sample?

google drive or dropbox are good options.

First thanks for you all amazing work!
I have been using milhouse builds for month without an issue!
Yesterday i have been making my first try at bluetooth headphones.
Here is my setup:
- rpi with openelec and milhouse build,
- audio/video receiver connected through HDMI.

Most of the time i use the audio through my receiver: audio passthrough with configuration to 5.1

Now yesterday i tried adding a bluetooth dongle to connect my headphones. The first thing is that it works great . My issues/FR are more related to ease of use.
For the bluetooth to work correctly i have to:
- connect with my headphones through the openelec addon.
- go into system/audio
- change the audio output to use the bluetooth
- change the configuration to 2.0
- disable passthrough

And then when i am done i have to set it all back the original settings.
It's quite a hassle to have to do this everytime and i am wondering if things could maybe be automated.

1/bluetooth connect. It feels like the dongle won't auto connect when turn on my headphones. Is that normal? (i am not sure about will run more test tonight). Would this be doable? For example my headphones auto connect to my phone when i turn them on.
2/audio output. That's actually the main issue. That something i can't go around right now. I am wondering if it would be possible for the audio output to change to the bluetooth device once it connect, and go back to the previous setting once disconnected? I think it makes senses, just like it happens on my phone (from speakers to bluetooth).
3/passthrough and configuration: writing about this one i stumbled upon this site which seems to imply that i could always use passthrough with 2.0. And it would work with my receiver and dts/5.1. Is that right? (will test that tonight if i can). With 5.1 and passthrough i was only receiving the front left and right. the 5.1 track was not downmixed into 2.0 (which i thought could not be done with passthrough enabled).

I really want to emphatize the fact that bluetooth works great now!

THanks a lot for your amazing work

Does an mkv remux of the ISO work correctly?

Does an mkv remux of the ISO work correctly? All my media are in ISO format

I have try three different ISO and and all had the same issue,specially with the Buffering

I see a lot repetitive of this in the Kodi Logfile

and watching these movies results in a memory leak. It definitely only occurs with some
files recorded with an older tvheadend version. It also definitely occurs only when playing,
if i pause the video, no more memory is consumed. I don't have seems this problem with my
cutted videos, and it seems, that newer recordings are also not causing the problem.

Thanks for the sample. It wasn't occurring with a build from kodi master, so I could bisect to find the newclock5 commit that caused the leak and I think I have a fix.
Please test again with tonight's build.

Hello , first of all I wish you a good start to the year the whole team ! . Consult if someone used addon to download in any of the new builds ? . Since version # 1117 I can not get rtorrent or transmission work . Anyone have this same problem ? .
Thank you.
Regards.

But some builds have worked for you in the past?
Identifying the first failing build would be useful.
Posting a debug log (wiki) may indicate what is wrong.

You'll need to update the addons that aren't working after the OpenELEC libraries were bumped in #1118 - you can find a selection of updated addons here although rtorrent isn't one of them, I'll see if I can build it later this evening.

Since 2 testbuilds ago when I start a video the audio starts slightly but audibly warped and then pulls together again (it seems). Anyone has the same problem?
