OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 3 (Kodi 14.0)
Since Version OpenELEC-RPi.arm-Milhouse-20141123220755-r19686-g16a5a30 i have a problem playing live-tv with vnsi. When i start the stream i get green noise as tvpicture and after 2secs the Pi hangs and needs a reboot. With OpenELEC-RPi.arm-Milhouse-20141123220755-r19686-g16a5a30 which is the last working release for me i get a black picture when first tuning a live-tv-channel with VNSI. When i then change the channel everything is fine. Only starting the first channel has this problems.
So #1124 is the build with green screen/hang?

Starting from OpenELEC-RPi.arm-Milhouse-20141124223600-r19690-gec9fd72.tar all further builds have the same green noisy picture and hang.

Seen the same on some 1080i hdtv channels with tvheadend
Just updated to Openelec Beta5 and I would like to thank the development team on the noticeable speed bump in this release from Beta4.
Its very noticable when scrolling through the EPG and more responsive in the GUI in general.

Keep up the good work, the Helix final must be close.

#1126 does not have this problem. Any suggestion which PR/commit to revert?

Yes, I can reproduce. (Not sure why this didn't show up when originally testing...)
Anyway I have a fix and will push a firmware fix later today.

This seems like the most likely culprit introduced in this build.
I'll revert it for next build and we'll see if that fixes it.

Does the green/hang only affect live TV or do you see the same with recordings? If you see the issues with recordings then a small sample file would be useful.

Talking about GUI sounds:
Ever since the introduction of the sounds it always takes 2 or 3 clicks for the navigation sounds to be played again when coming back from the screen darkening.

Steps to reproduce:
  1. Wait for the screen to darken (1 minute?)
  2. Press a remote key to activate Kodi again: no sound played
  3. Press a remote key to move up/down/left/right: no sound played
  4. Press a remote key to move up/down/left/right: no sound played
  5. Press a remote key to move up/down/left/right: sound played
Are you guys experiencing the same?
@popcornmix, I`ve had the hangs on recordings as well as live tv
After the screen "darkens" (you mean the "Dim" screensaver has activated?), for me it takes one remote control input to disable the screensaver (this generates no sound), then I hear GUI/navigation clicks for all subsequent remote control inputs.

I've also tested this when resuming from suspend, and again I hear all the clicks (apart from the initial remote control input that "wakes" the sleeping Pi).

Presumably you have audio over HDMI? Can you provide a debug log?

That is expected behaviour. When audioengine shuts down the gui sound samples are dropped.
When audioengine starts up, it loads the samples and resamples them as a low priority process.
If the sample is not available it is skipped (so as to not to hold up the GUI).

Set the "keep alive" to a large value so audioengine doesn't shut down if this bothers you.

Did that. Didn't have any error/warning messages in dmesg, but during boot process there were scrolling some "orange" messages. Managed to read from the screen "Failed to start avahi defaults". Same for cron and samba. Than I ran "systemctl status avahi-defaults.service" and this gave me the answer - error was that during boot system was unable to copy default *.conf files to /storage/.cache. I've checked - my ".cache" was a file insted of folder?!? Definitelly corruption of a file-system. Removed .cache, rebooted and everything works like a charm...

Thanks.

I mean the dim screensaver yes.

Correct again. Based on popcornmix's reply I don't think a log will be needed any more.

Thanks for the info.
It's not bothering me that much. It's just a slight imperfection that doesn't stand in the way of normal functioning. I just though I should mention it because it might have been something that has been overlooked.
