OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 3 (Kodi 14.0)
(2014-12-03, 16:22)HiassofT Wrote: dvdplayer seems to have problems with some files: video freezes some 2-4 seconds before the end but audio continues to play. With omxplayer everything's fine.

I first noticed that with the ORF tvthek streams but this also happens if the files are played locally.

Here's a sample: http://www.horus.com/~hias/tmp/openelec/...141203.mp4

And here's the kodi.log from the 1202 build (kodi started manually from command line to work around PR:3657 command line argument issues). First played the local file with omxplayer acceleration enabled, then with omxplayer acceleration disabled.

Some more tests: This also happens with Youtube videos. A nice testcase is "The EEVblog bunker" in the 720p version (as default on the pi), the video is quite shaky at the very end:

I went through the old builds and 0901 plays it fine, with 0902 the video freezes shortly before the end (later than with the current builds, so not clearly visible with the sample in my previous post). Not sure if this info is helpful, that was the switch from newclock3 to newclock4...

so long,

@HiassofT I could reproduce the issue with the posted mp4 file. Not sure yet what the cause is.

Is it always a few second before end of file, or does it ever stall in middle of file?
E.g. if you have a file that is 42m30 long and it stops at 42m25, and you cut it down to 5m30, would you expect this file to stop at 5m25?

OK, tonights build assuming there are no problems merging it.

Thanks ! PR works perfect

It's always a few seconds before the end of the file, so far I haven't seen a stall in the middle. It's quite visible with the streams from the ORF TVthek as they usually cut down shows into multiple pieces.

Also interesting: with these files the time-display/progress bar ("i" key) also freezes a few seconds before the end, both with dvdplayer and omxplayer.

Cutting down a video doesn't change the stop point (eg 5 seconds before the end).

I downloaded a video file from the ORF TVthek ("Missed a show" -> "Di 02.12.2014" -> "22.05 Uhr Willkommen Österreich" -> "Gags, Gags, Gags" - then use wget with the URL in kodi.log), its 14:29 long and then I cut off the first 800 seconds:
Code:
avconv -i in.mp4 -acodec copy -vcodec copy -ss 800 out.mp4
Both files stop approx 5 seconds before the end.

so long,

Where could i find the Openelec Crash Log Support, i habe the Problem that my whole Pi freezes sometimes by watching a internet Stream Movie in Full HD..

@ first the sound stutters, than the picture stutters and finally the whole system freezes.

is this a known bug?

Not a known bug.
Would be useful to know if kodi hangs or crashes (is picture or kodi gui still on screen?)
Is Pi crashed? (can you ssh in?)

A debug enabled log, dmesg output after the crash, and the crash dump (assuming kodi did crash) may explain the problem.

If you are overclocking then disable that as the first test. Measuring voltage on board is also recommended as that is a common cause of crashes.
Some more tests on the video freeze issue:

The files play fine with kodi git on my Linux box (Debian Wheezy 64bit) and with OpenELEC 4.97.1 generic i386 version on another PC, both with software decode and hardware acceleration (VDPAU).

so long,

Note that I lost most of my settings after updating #1202 to #1203.
Basically all settings in the Kodi settings section have been reset to default. Things like library sources, it's entries and plugin settings remained.

Nothing more I can add to it I think. Too late for a debug log and I already changed all the settings back again.

I think I'm noticing this myself, but haven't been able to pin down an exact cause (yet). I suspect the settings may be being "lost" during shutdown (power off), but need to do more testing. If you can pin it down that would be great.

At the very least I would suggest applying your settings then taking a backup (cp guisettings.xml guisettings.xml.bak) so that you can quickly restore your settings if you lose them again.

I lost my guisettings.xml recently as well, but it occurred in the process of updating to an official beta - rPi openelect beta 4 or 5, if I recall correctly.

A 4 second black splash animation video is available - see this post for sample.

To install the 4 second black animation:

If you are turning on debugging, there is still "CPU-XBMC". Don't know, if you want to change it ... Wink
Latest build 1204
Philips TV with Kodi 20.2 with IPTV --- Orbsmart 500 Android 21 alpha/beta as Online-radio/TV in the kitchen
Hello everyone,

I'm new to koi and i'm thinking to buy a Raspberry Pi in order to run Openelec (To be honest, i'm hesitating with a 150 euros devices such the Open Hour Chameleon).
I can't find many information or video on youtube about the graphics VideoCore IV in the B+ version: Is the 25 or 50 gb Blurry running smooth on the raspberry pi and openelec?

sorry if the question was answered 10 thousands times.

Have a nice day.
I'm trying to get my Logitech Dual Action Gamepad to work in Kodi (OE Milhouse 1204). It is recognized by OE (system), but not in Kodi:

In the Kodi debug-log there is nothing about the Gamepad, no detection, no buttonpresses, nothing ...
It works in RetroArch out of the box btw
What can I do? Thx in advance
