Definitely frame skipping with #0801 not sure when it started, need to check. Will report back.

Playback until true end of file has been reached - IS WORKING!

I was surprised, that this is working with milhouse testbuilds, I tried 618 and 714. Is this a bug or a feature? Is it going to stay?

What am I talking about?

In Kodi 16, the length of a video file was only checked at the beginning of the playback. If the file size increased during playback (due to ongoing recording or something like that), the playback stopped at the initial length, ignoring the remaining "new" data. I talked to some devs about this feature and they said, it is planned for Kodi 18. (http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=280437)

However it already works with milhouse testbuilds. At least on my PI2. Can somone confirm this as well? I am not using any PVR addon, I just have a SMB share, which contains movie files which I added to the Kodi Video section and sometimes these files grow due to ongoing recordings (not controlled by Kodi) - and with milhouse testbuilds I can watch movies to the very end, even though they where still recording when I started to watch them.

Was this added by milhouse on purpose, or is it just working by chance? Can someone else confirm this?

[doldi]

hmm, only temporarily, a little better but after 10 seconds stuttering begins.

What does
vcgencmd get_throttled
report after you have had stuttering?

hi popcornmix, sorry if it's a little to late ;-)

pi3:~ # vcgencmd get_throttled
throttled=0x0

[after swirch network to 1Gb/s]


thanks for your help.


Edit: Switch back to 100Mb/s and pi reboots and hangs on Kodi startlogo.

Edit: Switch back to 100Mb/s and pi reboots and hangs on Kodi startlogo.

Whole device hang or just Kodi - do you have network, can you ping the device, can you login with ssh and upload kodi.log/dmesg/journalctl etc.?

[jd17]

If you had a button/key mapped to CodecInfo, now map this to PlayerDebug and you should get the same functionality.

I cannot find "PlayerDebug" anywhere in the AddOn "Keymap Editor".
Am I right in assuming that Keymap Editor would need an update to add "PlayerDebug"?

[doldi]

yes, i've network and can reboot/halt ect over ssh.
think kodi would hangup.

Milhouse - only if i switch the router backward from 1G to 100Mb/s.

btw...i am not alone with pi3 stuttering on video h264, oscm forum also some people are not happy with the pi 3.
They make the same prozedure like me , sd cards from pi2 to pi3, backwards ect.

[Milhouse]

Am I right in assuming that Keymap Editor would need an update to add "PlayerDebug"?

Yes. Just replace CodecInfo with PlayerDebug in whatever *.xml the Keymap Editor creates.

@dodli: Originally you said 1Gbit was the problem and 100Mbit was fine:

If i switch the LAN port on my Fritz!Box7490 to Power Mode =1 Gbit/s, videos would not play without stuttering - on Green Mode = 100 bit/s it's ok.

With my two peaces of Raspberry Pi2, video plays always perfect on both Mode.

but now 100Mbit is crashing Kodi? Hard to say what the cause of Kodi not starting is without the requested logs. Are you waiting for MySQL Wake-on-LAN or something similar?

I have an RPi3 here connected to a Netgear DGND4000 over wired Cat5/1GBit and there are no problems streaming over smb:// from a Windows 7 Pro PC (also connected via wired Cat5/1GBit). I have also tested with:

Code:

<cache>
    <buffermode>1</buffermode>
  </cache>

in advancedsettings.xml and it worked as expected, buffering up to 7.5MB, and still no stutter.

When did this problem start, with #0801?

[doldi]

@Milhouse
my pi3 is connected to Fritzbox7490, OS=windows 10 share over samba (7meters networkcable). I think, if i switch from 1G to 100mb/s on playing video,
my Fritzbox disconnect for 1-2 sec and kodi reboots.

cdmline:

<advancedsettings>
<network>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<cachemembuffersize>157286400</cachemembuffersize>
<readbufferfactor>5</readbufferfactor>

The problem is precent since i have my pi3 build '#0708 - all my pi2 works perfect also in PowerMode 1Gb/s - but i think i have to speak now about this Problem and my pi3 is for the dustbin, yes.

pi3 is nothing for h264 (?), sorry i'm glad about this little peace of s**t. :-)

This should be one line!

@doldi,

really weird thing with the PI3, I have almost the same configuration as you.
But my PI3 is not overclocked, which is advancedsettings.xml and config.txt not modified all standard values. The best is that PI3 is connected to the router (FB7490) via wireless and I have no problems with either x264 still with XviD. As a server running a Pi2 with openmediavault and is connected to the router via LAN cable.

my config.txt content:

Code:

gpu_mem=256
gpu_mem_256=112
gpu_mem_512=160
gpu_mem_1024=256
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1
max_usb_current=1

@doldi
sound like your switching while pi is on and your playing Video.
not a good idea, as would screw up network, and Kodi would glitch as sudden loss of data.

If your switching between 1gb and 100mb after powering down the pi, then I've got it wrong.

[Milhouse]

Note: The webserver may be disabled by default since #0802b (it used to be enabled by default). This will be corrected in #0804.

[popcornmix]

These builds include faster/slower playback (from 75% normal speed up to 155% of normal speed).
You will need to add a remote mapping. E.g.

Code:

<keymap>
  <global>
    <keyboard>
      <f mod="ctrl">xbmc.playercontrol(tempoup)</f>
      <r mod="ctrl">xbmc.playercontrol(tempodown)</r>
    </keyboard>
  </global>
</keymap>

The atempo filter means no chipmunk voices when playing fast.
