Only this patches may this issues:

- Fix for stuttery video when seeking before zero

- Handle resolution changes during video stream

- add Both HDMI and analog audio output

Because other patches i remove and compile build again and still sometimes no playing movies.

Can you narrow it down to one patch?

3 patches in 1 patch??

3 patches in 1 patch??

I thought you said that one of these patches was responsible for the failure to play videos:

- Fix for stuttery video when seeking before zero

- Handle resolution changes during video stream

- add Both HDMI and analog audio output

Can you try 3 different builds each with just one patch applied, and see which one is bad.

I've got an mp3 album which does play fine from files, but not from the music library (error message after three attempts, "couldn't play back ...", 256 MB RPi tested with 100 and 128 MB GPU-RAM, r13352 from jbej). The files are tagged with a huge album cover in jpeg format, so that seems to be an issue. An example can be found here: https://gigamove.rz.rwth-aachen.de/downl...meUKdR9NmS

I try many combinations and only one is correct for me.

Disable both this patch:

- add Check free memory, and if plenty use full size buffers for reading files

- new scheme buffering and stalling

I'm struggling to see this on new_stall branch (https://github.com/popcornmix/xbmc/commits/new_stall). This is standard xbmc tree with
[rbp] Fix for stuttery video when seeking before zero
[rbp] [wip] new scheme for handling stalling and buffering

I've played about 50 files and all started okay. I also left this looping a 22 minute video overnight a couple of days ago and it was still playing in morning.

So does a build with no patches apart from the ones accepted into xbmc master, and the two above fail for you?

Can you try with "Extract thumbnails and video information" disabled?

Its fail. I play fine over 100 times movies (NFS/Online). Restarted Xbmc. Play movie again and......

Please try it

No improvement here, I'm afraid. With this latest build I still have the same problem - playing a movie (or tv show) from "Recently added", the background goes to dark grey, transport buttons appear on top of the menu, but there is no actual playback. Same behaviour when trying to play files via the file browser. Tested with both 128M and 256M GPU, no difference.

well... with build r13352 i can play movies again ... but... the movies are buffering after some time... twice in a movie i guess... not a huuuge thing... but it didn't do it before... there needs to be some work done.. whyever this is happening now.. previous older builds were working just fine... :/

[rbej]

I go to try official OpenElec build

[FattyMcDirty]

could it be that it has anything to do with this new options?

No more cachemembuffersize in advenced setting. Please delete it and add this:

<alwaysforcebuffer>false</alwaysforcebuffer>
<freememorycachepercent>5</freememorycachepercent>

i always had cachemembuffersize enabled... and those other options did not exist...

[rbej]

I removed this patch. Back to cachemembuffersize and not playing movie to.

The "stock" OpenELEC build is working fine for me (the only difference being the addition of the nfs/smb/usb auto-update patch).

could it be that it has anything to do with this new options?

I tried commenting out those options, but it made no difference - then again I'm not sure what values they default to.
