anything else I could try to debug my playback problem?

Can you try this test firmware.
Copy start_x.elf and fixup_x.dat and replace start.elf and fixup.dat from the boot partition of OE sdcard.

and add:

Code:

hvs_priority=0x100000

I wonder if reducing the sdram priority of the deinterlacer may help.

With this firmware there are just some artefacts at the beginning. TVheadend webif shows some discontinuities at the beginning and some rare further on. Thats a real improvement! No glitches or artefacts visible anymore after short test.

Okay, that's interesting. The default priority of deinterlacer is 14 (0xe), so:

Code:

hvs_priority=0xe00000

Should behave the same as the usual firmware. It would be interesting if you could determine what the highest priority is before you get artefacts.
(e.g. perhaps start with 0x800000, and increase if it is fine, or decrease if there are artefacts).

@popcornmix just to butt in here a little again, I did some tests with tv station arte HD today.
I recorded about two minutes of transport stream and results so far:

1) Corruption of picture was visible live + when played back from file + in MPC-HC + in VLC 2.2.0. So not a firmware problem but a stream problem.

2) Trying to convert the video using avconf (aka ffmpeg) yielded these errors:

The device in question is below. I'd say in my case the RPi2's USB is overwhelmed with data and dropping
parts of the transport stream, causing problems with playback and crashing the machine after 3-4 hours
quite reliably. Or the driver has a bug somewhere which I estimate to be less likely. Stick works flawlessly
in Windows 7. Sad, isn't it.

To add, i used Firmware: Sep 11 2015 13:44:34, version 0520310a767d76e235bc7ea0278011677d110b96 (clean) (release) with hvs_priority=0x100000.

[polo_joe]

Should behave the same as the usual firmware. It would be interesting if you could determine what the highest priority is before you get artefacts.
(e.g. perhaps start with 0x800000, and increase if it is fine, or decrease if there are artefacts).

0x800000 some discontinuities,some artefacts
0x900000 some discontinuities,some artefacts
0x100000 rare discontinuities, no artefacts after some minutes
0x110000 very rare discontinuities, one glitch at the beginning
0x120000 some discontinuities,some artefacts
0x130000 some discontinuities,some artefacts
0xe00000 a lot of discontinuities and artefacts

so 0x110000 works best for now.

[J_E_F_F]

If I manually "Scan item to library" for the entire music folder, it runs A-Z once and finishes without the long pause.

What would the difference be in how the scan is performed?

Not something I know much about. It's not likely to be Pi specific, so a post in the OS independent forum may get a response from devs who know more about this.
Does it occur with official OE 5.95.5 build?
Does it occur with a nightly build on another platform (windows/linux)?

Looks like maybe a general bug
Win 5.95.5 same issue, only much faster. Where the Pi2 takes >5min, the PC does it in less than a minute.
When updating on startup, it goes through the database twice. The first time in about a minute, then immediately after, faster, in about 20 seconds, then hangs on the same folder for 20 seconds before completing.

0x800000 some discontinuities,some artefacts
0x900000 some discontinuities,some artefacts
0x100000 rare discontinuities, no artefacts after some minutes
0x110000 very rare discontinuities, one glitch at the beginning
0x120000 some discontinuities,some artefacts
0x130000 some discontinuities,some artefacts
0xe00000 a lot of discontinuities and artefacts

so 0x110000 works best for now.

Actually these numbers should be hex, so the order is:

Code:

0x100000
0x200000
0x300000
0x400000
0x500000
0x600000

Hello,

I'm using testbuilds in order to test my 3D MVC MKV and I have some problems with the PGS subtitles. I have an LG TV with passive 3D and sometimes I have only the half of the subtitle on the screen.

Here is a screenshot in 3D with framepacked enabled :


Here is a screenshot in 2D :


Here is a screenshot in 2D with VLC : (the subtitle is complete)


Here is a screenshot of the extract from the sup file :


I suspect a problem with the resolution of the subtitle, because only the large ones are affected.
I made a test to convert PGS subtitle to SUB/IDX but I have the same problem.
Do you have an idea of the problem?

Have a good week-end

Any chance for a newer build to go back to pvr.mythtv 3.2.2?

@Milhouse I'd be interested in the results of that. Would be good to work out if this is caused by VideoPlayer changes or mythtv changes.

I've uploaded "test" build #0910y that has pvr.myth as it was in #0906 (ie. before the 3.3.0 version bump in #0907): RPi / RPi2

This build should allow direct comparison with #0910 as the only difference is to pvr.mythtv.

Thanks for clarification, but 0x100000 gives me the best picture quality. All others have artefacts and increasing discontinuity counter in tvheadend. With 0x100000 there are still but rare discontinuities but I can't see any artefacts so far.

[Mfleigle]

I have a small problem that started with either build #909 or #910 (I skipped 909). When I start to play a tv show it skips the first 4~5 seconds. It mostly skips "previously on.." I have only tested MP4 files. I haven't intentionally installed anything in the past few days. Would a log file show why it's doing this?

Identifying the exact build would be helpful.
Does it occur with omxplayer enabled/disabled
Does it occur with "adjust display refresh rate" enabled/disabled
Does it occur with "sync playback to display" enabled/disabled

I'll try 909 soon, and as for the other questions I haven't changed any of those settings (they are default). I'll flip them and re-test

Thank you! I'll test it tonight and report back.

Everything works great with the test build so it looks like pvr.mythtv was the problem.

[J_E_F_F]

unhelpful comment time. I'm not sure if it is a RPi problem, a UPnP problem, my configuration problem or all the above, but my experience with it stinks.
2 ethernet wired RPi2s. One UPnP shared database, and the other as a receiver.
To start, both work well with local databases, and the UPnP RPi that is sharing works great regardless.
The UPnP receiver experience stinks, even more-so trying to use Kore to control it.

On the receiver, there are no desktop recently added thumbnails for Music, Movies or TV Shows. Heck, Movies and TV Shows does not even show as an option on the desktop. It seems like the database is being shared, but not an actual constructed "library."

With Kore as a remote, (and I posted this in the Kore thread too):
On the receiving device, I can use the remote arrows to select video and music files, but if I use the Kore options like "Movies, TV Shows, Music" Kore does not see anything at all, no library.

Using the File Browser on the receiving UPnP device works about 10% of the time, the other 90% it times out. These are ethernet wired RPi2's, not wireless.
I've also had the receiving Pi lock up requiring a hard power cycle while using the Kore file manager, even an SSH reboot didn't work. I'd not had a hard lockup like that before.

My personal user experience with the current state of UPnP and my device configuration seems to be pretty awful. I though v15 was suppose to fix all that and make mysql a legacy option, and figured v16 would be even better. Is that in fact the current state, or am I missing something?
