OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 3 (Kodi 14.0)
Is it possible to have kodi boot animation on xbmc if it is how can i achieve that?

XBMC, as in Gotham 13.x on OpenELEC? I guess it would be possible, with some effort - at the moment it's really only a "proof of concept" for Helix and needs more work to clean it up.

If you really wanted to add it to OpenELEC 4.x, you'd need to add the new kodi-splash.service and plumb that into systemd (add it to /storage/config/systemd, run systemctl daemon-reload etc.). The service executes /usr/bin/kodi-splash.sh which you would need to modify to run from your /storage partition. You can find the various files on a Helix build.

Can you try adding "device_tree=" to config.txt? This will disable the device tree support and indicate roughly whether this is a DT-related problem or something else.

Hi I tried it with latest Milhouse build: devel-20141213213941-r19802-g1fe5994

With "device_tree=" in config.txt hyperion is working.

Without this entry in config.txt hyperion isn't working at all.

To set up my Ambilight sytem I used this HowTo.
So it seems to be related to new devicetree support?!

What HowTo? Are you explicitly loading or blacklisting any modules?

Maybe @gandharva could share his configuration as it appears to be working for him.

I'm not loading or blacklisting something explicitily.

Build Details:

[*]newclock4:
  • New commits in this build:
    • native resolution (b70241c2)
    • allow to disable native resolution switching through GUI (eaf445d7)
This is a nice feature. Now we can use the dedicated chips from our AVRs to upscale to 1080p.
I had no time to test the update, but thank you very much popcornmix.

Do you think we will see this one in the official openelec?

Sorry about that, upload appears to have crapped out half-way (will try to make that a little more robust). Should be there now though.

@ Milhouse:
did you miss that: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid1861122 ?
is libmad in your OE-build. It is in 4.2.1

Sorry missed that post. It should be there, but it's not building automatically (it does build if I build it manually). I'm just trying a clean build to confirm whether it will be built or not, and if not I'll report the problem upstream as it may be missing a dependency of some kind.

libmad is built statically, so any 3rdparty stuff needs to be built against a statically built libmad too and there is no libmad.so* shipped anymore

I'm experiencing some trouble with new builds based on kernel 3.18.
Moving from a wired to a wireless connection through Openelec add-on causes a black screen after/during playback a remote video.

Today, with #1214, I got a black locked screen after changing to a wireless connection, then raspi did a reboot.

Build #1208 seems do not have these problems.

lsmod's output on #1214:
Code:
Module                  Size  Used by
cfg80211              221039  0
r8712u                161848  0

lirc_dev                7885  1 lirc_rpi
rc_core                16231  1 lirc_dev
bcm2708_rng              812  0

Thanks for 'watching' and again... sorry for my very bad English.

I think he is right. I still have "device_tree=" in my config.txt, as this was the first thing popcornmix told me to check, but I didn't remove it afterwards... This didn't fix the problem with builds #1205 to #1210.
Build #1211 then fixed my issue, but obviously only if "device_tree=" is present in config.txt. So it seems there have been two bugs and the one that is related to device tree support is still present in current builds.

I'm going to remove "device_tree=" from config.txt after work to confirm the report from tija.
