System is freezing and cec is not working anymore

Pi1 or Pi2?
Two possibilities.
Your power supply isn't sufficient.
You need to set over_voltage to make that overclock reliable.

[popcornmix]

Testing your video with #0714 on RPi2, I tried "Auto" and "MMAL - Advanced" but this hangs Kodi on a frozen frame - it's not garbled like your screenshot however. It does require a reboot of OpenELEC

Yes, I get this behaviour - no garbled video. It's actually an interaction with the HEVC qpu patch, and I have a fix for that.

I also found a sample 1080i video called "PAW Patrol.ts" - I think this video had problems a while ago with changes of frame rate (or was it number of audio channels?) at the advert transitions

Yes, after 45 seconds we start getting non-interlaced frames and I wasn't handling that correctly from qpu code path. I have a fix for that.

My config on a Pi2 with the right adapter (working good for 1 year now without any problems)

arm_freq=1062
sdram_freq=480
core_freq=590
over_voltage=4
gpu_mem=320
hdmi_ignore_cec_init=1

over_voltage_sdram_c=0
over_voltage_sdram_i=0
over_voltage_sdram_p=2
avoid_pwm_pll=1
v3d_freq=400
force_turbo=1

# decode_MPG2=0x00000000
# decode_WVC1=0x00000000
# decode_DTS=0x00000000
# decode_DDP=0x00000000

Whit this my Pi2 is stable but when Iput in gpu_freq=400 it strarts to freeze

[Milhouse]

Stop overclocking sdram_freq - it gives practically no benefit, but can often result in instability with recent firmware.

I too had a completely stable Pi2 for months with sdram_freq=500, but recent firmware resulted in random crashes and freezes, which went away once I stopped overclocking sdram_freq.

You could possibly regain stability by bumping up the sdram voltage, but unlike the Pi1, the Pi2 benefits very little from overclocking sdram (mainly because the ARMv7 SoC has increased L2 cache) so ultimately the increased risk of instability is just not worth the hassle for the meagre improved performance (which you probably won't even notice).

Thanks Milhouse and popcornmix! I look forward to testing 1080i advanced deinterlacing in the next build(s). The PI just keeps getting better and better!

I get a boot loop with this latest build. Log at http://sprunge.us/LJGE

It looks like it crashes when it tries to show a PVR message on boot. I guess PR:7268 is the likely culprit?

With live tv disabled there is no boot loop.

[Milhouse]

I wonder if the PVR addons need updating (you're already using the latest versions, but maybe they all now need a bump following the ApplicationMessenger change).

[evanspae]

I get a boot loop with this latest build.

Ditto I will see if I can log tomorrow

I am seeing similar boot loop after installing latest version, I also use Live TV through TVheadend backend (Version you provided Millhouse) here is crashlog using ssh

paste $(ls -1art /storage/.kodi/temp/kodi_crashlog* | tail -1)

http://sprunge.us/OaRN

And general log if its helpful

Well crud, live tv is my biggest use case for advanced 1080i deinterlacing

Guess I'll wait until that is sorted out.

[Milhouse]

The latest build has been updated to build #0715b which now includes a fix for the PVR add-on crashes - thanks all for the crash logs.

[zaphod24]

Excellent guys! Working great on my 2 RPi2 systems for live TV using the MythTV plugin. Thanks for the continued improvements!

Just installed 0715b my open vpn no longer works i tried downgrading to #0714 with dev update and that's not working either had to manually downgrade

You'll need to debug this yourself, although it sounds like your network probably isn't working as it should be (and maybe it's just a coincidence it stopped working with build #0715b?)

Edit: Not sure if the PPTP change could break OpenVPN, I've asked in the commit but maybe other OpenVPN users will be able to confirm if they're also experiencing problems.
