It doesn't disable previously installed incompatible plugins, that would be a nice feature though.

Unnecessarily disabling addons could be a problem, unless it could be conveniently overridden. Marking potentially incompatible plugins, and providing a safe boot option might be a better option. A convenient way to determine the incompatibility would also be helpful.

[Milhouse]

I think you get a dialog prompt when an addon is detected as being "broken" - you then have the option to disable the addon or ignore the problem. I was shown this the other day for Amber, a skin I'm not currently using but had installed so chose to ignore it for the time being.

I have a few plugins that are broken, I received no popup but I do receive a little non-interactive notification about one being broken in the lower right side where the cec notification pops up. This is on confluence.

[h.udo]

I'll drop the cec render patch from the next few builds, see if it makes any difference.

36+ hours testing without this patch confirms that problem is gone. Thanks!

Would be nice to have confirmation from others affected by this.

Try #806, that's the last version which AC3 and DVDPlayer works for me. (but with Hifiberry Digi)

Hi,

no #806 does not work for me.

Thanks.

Hi,

i have tested some early Milhouse builds and none of them worked for me:
OpenELEC-RPi.arm-devel-20140122135243-r17116-gc79f518
OpenELEC-RPi.arm-devel-20140130031137-r17182-g6d01e5f

I have uploaded xbmc.log showing my problem.
AC3-passthrough with OMXPlayer does work and XBMC and TV reports Dolby Digital 5.1,
with DVDPlayer there is crackling/totally distorted audio, XBMC and TV reports 2.0 Stereo.

It would be cool if somebody with enough knowledge would have a look at the logfile,
and eventually find a difference between OMXPlayer and DVDPlayer.

Best Regards

[f1vefour]

I had this happen last night on a stream, I wrote it off as bad audio.

Does it sound robotic and with minimum volume (not loud even though turned up)?

[shadowghost]

Seems like Tvheadend is broken in latest build. The Tvheadend HTSP Client can't connect to the server.

Hello. In my case audio and video are out of sync after a few minutes in the last buid (0908).

Edit: It seems to work if I enable "adjust display refresh rate to match video framerate"

@popcornmix
If I change the refresh rate to 23.97 in the GUI it comes back to 60 when I reboot. Once I've changed it, tvservice -m CEA says:
(native) mode 16: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:148MHz progressive
(prefer) mode 32: 1920x1080 @ 24Hz 16:9, clock:74MHz progressive

but if I reboot it comes back to 60HZ:
(prefer) mode 16: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:148MHz progressive

Is ther an easy way to make it permanent?
Thanks

# lsb_release
OpenELEC (Milhouse) - Version: devel-20140910002305-r19210-g2d9c62b [Build #0909]

Based on tip of OpenELEC master (2d9c62ba, changelog) and tip of XBMC master (f78c550a, changelog) with the following modifications:

• Includes newclock4 patches
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC fernetmenta patches due to conflicts with newclock4
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC linux-01-RPi_support patch in favour of sourcing these and possibly more recent patches directly from kernel branch rpi-3.16.y
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC xbmc-001-newclock3 patch in favour of sourcing these and possibly more recent patches directly from newclock4 branch
  
• Default setting for "Show RSS Feed" changed to disabled
  
• Disabled "Total Duration" in Confluence (see build #0221 for details)
  
• Adapted service.openelec.settings to take advantage of PR5217
  
• Includes latest libnfs master (5fe97d10)
  
• Includes latest libcec master (81e38211)
  
• Includes libcec double-key suppression.
  
• Increase scan interval of PeripBusCEC from 5000 to 60000, reducing CPU loading by about 2% (1GHz Pi) every 5 seconds (even when CEC is "disabled")
  
• Includes CONFIG_COREDUMP=y to allow creation of coredumps (see here)
  
• Includes PR5222: videodb: Add column name on GROUP query otherwise sub query returns no rows
  
• Includes PR5237: [WIP][3D] add support for stereomode switches in video playlist
  
• Includes PR5247: StringUtils: optimize Split(), new overloads for Split() and Tokenize()
  
• Includes PR5307: [UX] Play button/action should not pause
  
• Includes PR5312: dvdplayer: do a seek after having changed subtitle stream
  
• Includes PR5324: Add setting to hide library clean progress bar.
  

Build Highlights:

1. PR5324 is added which should hide GUI updates during JSON initiated library cleans and scans (although GUI updates can be enabled with the addition of a JSON parameter, "showgui"). Scans and cleans initiated from the GUI should always show the usual dialogs and progress indicators (unless hidden during scans with "Hide Library Updates"). Please post details if you observe any unusual GUI/dialog behaviour during scans/cleans.
   

Build Details:

1. OpenELEC:
   • xf86-video-intel: update to xf86-video-intel-2.99.916
     
   • glibc: update to glibc-2.20
     
   • projects/Cuboxi/patches/linux: add upstream patches
     
   • projects/Cuboxi/linux: switch to CONFIG_PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY, this speedup the build esp for Cubox/HB i1
     
2. XBMC:
   • PVR: initial support for sub channel numbers (PR:5290, 2 commits, 16 files changed)
     
   • [pvr] fix destructor visibility to allow polymorphic deletion (PR:5338, 1 commit, 1 file changed)

   • [omxplayer] Don't flush queued data on general reset (PR:5240, 1 commit, 2 files changed)
     
3. newclock4:
   • egl: Treat unknown display aspect ratio as square pixel
     
4. Custom:
   • Added PR5324: Add setting to hide library clean progress bar.

Sadly, I could not test the exciting PVR updates, because the PVR add-on would not load:

I'll include the latest xbmc-pvr-addons starting with the next build.

Hello. In my case audio and video are out of sync after a few minutes in the last buid (0908).

Edit: It seems to work if I enable "adjust display refresh rate to match video framerate"

If this when using omxplayer? Did this problem only start happening recently? If so can you identify which build the problem first occurred with?

@popcornmix
If I change the refresh rate to 23.97 in the GUI it comes back to 60 when I reboot. Once I've changed it, tvservice -m CEA says:
(native) mode 16: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:148MHz progressive

but if I reboot it comes back to 60HZ:
(prefer) mode 16: 1920x1080 @ 60Hz 16:9, clock:148MHz progressive

Is ther an easy way to make it permanent?

I use 23.97 as the framerate in GUI (to avoid most of the HDMI mode changes) and it sticks just fine.
Does changing resolution and rebooting stick after a reboot?
Are you using "DESKTOP" as the resolution, or an actual resolution like 1920x1080? Try with the actual resolution - it's possible DESKTOP doesn't allow refresh rate changing.
Could you run:

Code:

tvservice -d edid.dat

and upload the edid.dat file and give he a link - I'll see if I can reproduce.

@popcornmix
I don't know if it happens when using omxplayer, I can't choose the player any longer (I thought Xbmc do it now...).It happens at least in builds 907 and 908, I'll test some more builds tonight.
And yes, I'm using DESKTOP. I'll try everything when I arrive home :-)
Once again, thank you popcornmix
