The obvious question is if there was a modal dialog (i.e. one sitting on top of usual background gui) opened?
Is so, then I think refusing to jump to another screen is deliberate. If there wasn't a modal dialog then it sounds like a bug.

Yes, forgot to mention that!

I think your problem is PR6828, introduced in #0327. You should probably raise a trac ticket.

Thank you popcornmix and Milhouse. My question is: what is "modal dialog"? How can I check if it is opened?
During video playback I use these steps to jump to home:

- press OK button, then skipminus key.

Basically any dialog box that doesn't allow you to use the window it belongs to until you close it.

So pressing OK when video is playing (bringing up OSD) is creating a modal dialog (i.e. you stop normal video playback controls from working until OSD is closed).
Why are you pressing OK and then trying to jump to home screen?

Hi,

I'm having a small issue with LiveTV on my RPI1. I'm not able to watch the german TV channel "Servus TV HD" via TVHeadend. All the other channels I tried are working perfect. Also the encrypted ones.

When switching to "Servus TV HD" the screen keeps black.

I tried to record some minutes from this channel to check the video codec information.

Just as a first try, could someone say if it's codec or performance problem?
I'm going to post some debug logs later.

Mediainfo looks fine. Typical H.264 file. Debug logs, and a sample file (if that fails to play) would be useful.

Because I want to jump to home screen without stopping video playback. Is there another way?

Are you just trying to toggle FullScreen?

Map a button to FullScreen, eg.

Code:

<skipminus>FullScreen</skipminus>

So no crash with #0328, only #0329? I'd be surprised if it's only a problem for #0329.

No. I use a wired network. Wi-fi i just tested after purchasing RPi2 (month ago), and then pulled out. Today decided to try it again and got the problem.

A crash log should be useful. Most likely a problem with the driver and 3.19.3 kernel. You should test with a stock OpenELEC Nightly and if confirmed, report the problem to OpenELEC. If it's only a problem for #0329 this might suggest a slightly iffy build as nothing really changed in this area with last nights build.

Maybe, later. Thank you.

I'm looking to adjust the sharpness of my SD videos.
Is it possible to set the scaling_kernel or the scaling algorithm from userland or the GUI and make it persistent?

[slack3r]

Map a button to FullScreen, eg.

Code:

<skipminus>FullScreen</skipminus>

Solved in a similar way, thank you so much.

But... I hate that guy named xhaggi

[rickwookie]

Great that #0315 introduced full frame MVC support, but I noticed this intermittently, and now it seems all the time (currently on #0329):
The video will not be correctly scaled, it's zoomed (although it appears to only be about 150%) both horizontally and vertically, and when played in 3D mode, the two images are not alligined, almost like the second image is the remainder of the first image (the bit off the edge of the screen) that's somehow on top, or ghosting the other image.
The UI thinks it's playing H.SBS (perhaps that's just down to the fact that I've put H.SBS in the filename, there's no full frame packed option to select anyway). Like I say, I was able to get it to play full frame 3D fine the first few times on the earlier build. But now, not at all. The other thing I changed is I moved over from a B+ to a Pi2.

Why are you not pressing "back" instead of "OK" then? Back will bring you to the previous window (just like the ToogleFullscreen action) and from there you can jump to home or wherever you want.

You are right. My remote.xml was a bit chaotic. Thanks for your support.
