Updated log here: http://sprunge.us/TWQP

The channel playing should start around 16:38:42.

Thanks. This is the issue:

Code:

16:38:44 5336.334961 T:1962475520   DEBUG: CMMALRenderer::Configure - 704x576->[email protected] flags:12 format:18 ext:0 orient:0

The "@0.00" is the framerate we are told about from configure. Not sure why the video framerate isn't known.
My code isn't handling that. I'll do something about that for tonight's build.

Thanks @popcornmix. Much appreciated.

I made a quick test with #0331 in the morning and delete all the *.dtbo files in overlay directory. But now I must copy first the old *.dtb overlay files from #0313 because the overlay directory is now empty. I will try this in the evening.
By the way is SPI and on-board sound card support not included in the base bcm27*rpi*.dtb files? Actually there is no extra overlay file needed for module support. Just parameter dtparam=audio=on and dtparam=spi=on to switch on

Hmmm... I wonder why your overlays folder didn't have dtb files? If you install #0313, it will populate the overlays folder with dtb files. If you then upgrade to #0331, it will populate the overlays folder with "dynamic" dtbo files, while leaving the dtb files untouched. So for the dtb files to be missing, this would suggest you haven't done an upgrade from a pre-dynamic device tree build (ie. #0313 or earlier) to a dynamic device tree build (ie. #0314 or later) - maybe a "clean" install of some kind? Or something else has caused the dtb files to go AWOL.

Anyway I wanted to see if #0331 (ie. the latest build) would work better with the dtb files than the dtbo files as I believe the kernel will still use dtb files if there is no dtbo file. If it did, this might help narrow down the issue to the spi dtbo file.

I did always manually update or downgrade and delete the files in overlay folder thats why there missing. In the evening I will copy the *.dtb files back from #0313 to the #0331 installation and delete the *.dtbo files. After that I make the test.
Thanks a lot for your help

Well, I solved the issue with the overlays. "vcdbg log msg" give me a hint.

001702.665: dtparam: spi=on # SPI Modul für Ambilight
001705.361: dtdebug: Found override spi
001705.387: dtdebug: override spi: string target 'status'
001710.666: dtparam: audio=on # Audio Modul
001713.484: dtdebug: Found override audio
001713.511: dtdebug: override audio: string target 'status'

My config.txt looks like this:
dtparam=spi=on # SPI Modul für Ambilight
dtparam=audio=on # Audio Modul

Before #0314 this was working fine but now, the comment are a problem!

I change the config.txt to:
# SPI Modul für Ambilight
dtparam=spi=on
# Audio Modul
dtparam=audio=on

Now, it's working again.

And yes, the kernel supports dtb and dtbo files. I try both methods with the #0331 and both are working fine.

So, if somebody has trouble with overlays just have a look in the config.txt and check if there are any comments behind the parameters.
Oh, how many hours did I spend to find out this :-)

Disabling pvr clients in Addons22.db/Addons23.db is probably the easiest/quickest solution:

Code:

systemctl stop kodi
sqlite3 /storage/.kodi/userdata/Database/Addons23.db "update installed set enabled=0 where addonID like 'pvr.%'"
systemctl start kodi

That got it, thanks!

[popcornmix]

My config.txt looks like this:
dtparam=spi=on # SPI Modul für Ambilight
dtparam=audio=on # Audio Modul

Okay - that will be fixed in a future firmware update. For now separate lines are recommended.

Didn't have time to test it much last night, but 0331 resulted in a blank screen (but with sound) for liveTV. Recorded TV played back just fine, which was odd. Rolling back to 0330 and liveTV does not show a blank screen. I'll look again tonight but was curious if anyone else saw that issue. I'm using the mythtv pvr plugin.

Same here!
I have just upgraded from 0330 to 0331, and Live TV (using TVHeadend front- and Backend on RP2) produce sound but no picture.
Was working normally with 0330.

For me 331 - with rpi2 and TVHeadend on separate Debian server - TV is working as good as ever! (Rapier skin, always having problems with TV on Estuary since 319 - perhaps before..)

[herrmeier01]

On #0331 MPD deamon don't start. I think this is FFmnpeg 3.0.1 related.

mpd: error while loading shared libraries: libavformat.so.56: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[niwa2]

I just updated from 0224 to 0331 because the confluence skin got messed up today (no transparencys are shown anymore, just black squares). The same ist still happenening with 0331.

With the new Estuary skin the "Hide watched videos in recently added list" feature seems to be broken.

Also I am hoping that the DVD playback gets fixed not too far in the future. The kids would like to watch some of their movies which unfortunately are DVDs.

[BigTastyBurger]

Might I get some assistance with my dts audio drop-out issue?

I'm still getting it on #0331 (RPi3), and it's only occurring on dts encoded software, DD is fine. It seems to happen after a quick burst of buffering, so could be a network issue, but would be happy to rule that out.

I've uploaded a log here

[J_E_F_F]

I have started trying to use x265 HEVC files when available on my RPi2. Most play well with an occasional studder here and there during a panning scene, but not too bad.
I understand that these are software decoded not hardware through the GPU. Looking at bcmstat.sh shows that the CPUs are not maxed out.

I read things such as (HEVC low bit rate only for the Pi) but do not understand bit rates, so what is a low bit rate?

Using MediaInfo on a few of my files, I can see things like:
Overall bit rate : 628 Kbps
Overall bit rate : 694 Kbps
Overall bit rate : 862 Kbps

How do those compare to high/med/low bit rate, and about what bit rate is the RPi2 good up to in 720p?

[Loc2262]

Here's something I was meaning to report for quite a while. This is probably not the correct place for it, but maybe you can forward (if it's not an already known issue) to the proper developers.

When playback continues after jumping/seeking in MPEG2 videos (codec info shows "mmal-mpeg2"), the screen turns "mostly grey" with numerous picture artifacts. The effect looks like the player does not properly look for the I-frame closest to the seek destination, but tries to apply whatever P/B-frames it finds to an "empty" picture.

I think this started with the switch to VideoPlayer. This only happens with MPEG2, and only with VideoPlayer. OMXPlayer and/or other codecs don't have this issue.

[garm]

guess its just my fault then ....
i did something wrong milhouse`?

[Milhouse]

guess its just my faullt then ....

I looked at your log files. The first doesn't show any attempt to play a file. The second does. What confuses me is why you included the first log, does that also freeze? With the second log, has it frozen at the point you uploaded the log... maybe provide some explanation of what you are doing and what happens, and how this relates to the logs as it's not obvious what the problem is or when it occurs.

I just updated from 0224 to 0331 because the confluence skin got messed up today (no transparencys are shown anymore, just black squares). The same ist still happenening with 0331.

A debug log (wiki) might help.

With the new Estuary skin the "Hide watched videos in recently added list" feature seems to be broken.

I don't think it's supported by Estuary, this should actually be removed from newclock5 as it is a Confluence specific feature.

Also I am hoping that the DVD playback gets fixed not too far in the future.

Me too.

On #0331 MPD deamon don't start. I think this is FFmnpeg 3.0.1 related.

mpd: error while loading shared libraries: libavformat.so.56: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I have uploaded a new version of mpd to to the addons folder - can you try that?
