I don't know if a fix is planned (or even possible) for the grey frames. The problem when seeking is the lack of key frames - when one finally comes along, the whole image is corrected. Maybe omxplayer should only seek from key frame to key frame, assuming that is even possible.

Would be good way to fix it.
Who changes/update/fix the omxplayer?

I have a feeling these aren't being respected. That's worth looking into. Possibly they are only acted on when storoing images to Textures*db. Perhaps we need to apply those limits on initial decode.

At the moment, with the most recent builds (since r12089, maybe r12195) the thumbnails are being resized incorreclty - from 1000x1500 to 1008x720, so no, XBMC isn't respecting the thumbsize (I believe Raspbmc has the same problem).

No, browsing a pre-populated texture cache with 128MB GPU RAM is not reliable.

I am seeing black rectangles where thumbnails should be, and there are OMX errors in XBMC log (see here for example, with debug enabled).

Here's a vcdbg reloc (pastebin) grabbed while browsing Movies - 10 movie thumbnails on screen, three of them black rectangles (fanart is also failing to display - it too just displays as a black background).

I never had problems with lowres pictures, but I also suffer from irregularly stretched photos (being originally 3648x2736, 4:3 in size): All Portrait mode pictures are stretched in Y, all landscape mode pictures in X direction by a factor of approx. 1.4. See these two example "screenshots": portrait, landscape. Thumbnails most of the time are affected, too. Everything else (gui, video) is fine.

Don't know exactly when this started to happen; I'm on r12220 currently, it was ok in r12015. Display is a TV at 1920x1080 via hdmi. The scaling error does not occur if I attach my RPi to a 1280x1024 LCD monitor.

I see r12253 is online, time to play

hkramski · 2012-10-23, 21:32

Too bad, photos still out of shape after upgrading to r12253.

I cannot seem to get XBMC Remote for Android working after the 10/08/2012 Build ?

this is the error i get!

I've made a fork of the official app and got it pretty much fully functional again using json rpc. You can download an apk here, but you'll need to uninstall the official app first as the certificates won't match

tried it still same screenshot error

I think you need to clear your phones cache and reboot. A couple of other people had a similar problem and it eventually fixed itself (see here)

Doktor-X · 2012-10-24, 16:54

Can you try adding these to advancedsettings?
<fanartres>512</fanartres>
<imageres>256</imageres>

(or possibly every smaller values) to see if they fix the problem on 256M board.

Results for 256MB board:

Pre-cached cache (loaded by 512MB board with 384MB GPU RAM):
fanart=512, imageres=256: "insufficient resources"
fanart=416, imageres=208: "insufficient resources"

Cleared cache (rm -fr Database/Textures13.db Thumbnails and reboot)
fanart=512, imageres=256: "insufficient resources"
fanart=416, imageres=208: "insufficient resources"

Even with a cleared cache, fanart=256 and imageres=128, still I had "insufficient resources" errors.

To confirm the settings had an effect, I've just looked at jpg's in the Thumbnails folder (created with fanart=256, imageres=128) and fanart has been crunched down to 240x128, and thumbnails are a mixture of 192x128 and 128x128). I've also got DDS versions.
