I've noticed in the recent builds that 720p content is being switched to output in a 720p mode instead of the resolution of the gui. Is this a new feature of VideoPlayer to enable using the (presumably better) upscaling on the TV?

On my RPi2 this does not happen when using VDR backend and DVB-C USB tuner. I have a new clean install and i just change "Video -> Playback -> Adjust display refresh rate" to "always". But this also not happen when change back. Anyway this should only impact the refresh rate and not the resolution.

I've tried playing a few 720p files and my TV has remained at 1080p, so I don't think this is a deliberate feature.
A debug log (wiki) may have some clues as to what is happening.

Same here on build #0921. Playing 720p content, the TV input remained at 1080p

Hello.
Since version 0916 when watching LiveTV after 2-3 seconds the picture is stuck audio is going on. (Pi2)

My Log from last build http://sprunge.us/HDVO

What was the first build with this issue? Can you get the same failure from a recording?

I Can also reproduce this issue.
also confirm 0915 is ok, 0916 and later is having the freeze issues after a few seconds.
I made 2 short recordings.
On live viewing both channels froze within a few seconds.

"Sportsday" (BBC News HD) froze at 4-5 seconds where you see the big artefacts that appear over 3/4s and remained frozen while watching however when viewing the recording, the issue does not occur.

"ITV News & Weather" (ITV HD) froze at 5 Seconds on while watching live. Also the recording freezes at the same point.

Both files playback fully in MPC-HC (Sportsday with artefacts)

I assume this was a temporary glitch then. I did look at the log and could see that a 720p mode was selected, but the log has since been overwritten and I'm no longer getting output in 720p. I can't remember this ever happening before.

Hello,
thx to Milhouse - i have cleand my old repos who have making some Problems ( periodic refresh list @ high cpu)

here is a debug list from one of my two Rpi2 (over HDMI)

http://xbmclogs.com/pihjy3fup

After cleaning my first Pi2 (with hifiberry soundcard) he is now running fine, i think - he only stop Video after 20 Minutes.

I have make an backup from this and put them to the second RPi2 (overHDMI).

But Second Pi stops Video, after some time also the Sound on playing VideoAddon...and nothing more.
CpuKodi is low, moderate settings, correct config.list on SD-Card after replay backup is correct.

What have i to do ? It is an AddOn Problem?

I can reproduce quite easily with the ITV clip, using either omx or mmal. Not had Sportsday freeze on me yet. My deinterlace settings are "Auto" and "Auto select", if that's relevant.

Hello,
thx to Milhouse - i have cleand my old repos who have making some Problems ( periodic refresh list @ high cpu)

This problem should be fixed in tonight's build, also the directory listings being refreshed every 13-14 seconds (see PR8110 for details).

I have make an backup from this and put them to the second RPi2 (overHDMI).

But Second Pi stops Video, after some time also the Sound on playing VideoAddon...and nothing more.

Do you have a debug log from this second RPi2 that is having the problem? Maybe try again using tonight's #0922 build.

Yes, i have posted
here is a debug list from one of my two Rpi2 (over HDMI) with problems after playing 2-3 MusikVideo from MTV:

Sportsday clip only froze when watching live. It would not freeze at all when viewing the recording.
ITV freezes only on the pi. If I play using vlc or media player classic on windows 7 x64 it plays back fine.

Kodi RPi with hifiberry soundcard have also problems after some restarts.

Here is the log of this device (from two - see above):

Video stops (buffering /pause is to see on OSD) and stops complete.

OK regarding the previously mentioned issue of live TV getting green pixelated patches and odd graphical glitches like seen in the test video for the other live TV problem.
It appears that is due to running the tvheadend server on the pi2 also.
I've just moved the server to it's own x86 machine and no longer seeing any graphical glitches at all.
Though the image freeze after a few seconds is still present.

If I recall correctly, fsck is run automatically on the rpi builds? If so, sdb1 never has issue, but sda1 always shows up in the log necessitating a manual fsck. Both are separate USB flash drives.

OpenELEC:~ # fsck -y /dev/sda1
fsck from util-linux 2.27
e2fsck 1.42.13 (17-May-2015)
64GB has been mounted 44 times without being checked, check forced.
