Hi, @Milhouse, I've got a question for you. Is it possible to compile an OE 6.0.1 build but adding the new firmware changes? Could you tell me how?

If all you need is updated firmware, then download:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/...tart_x.elf
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/...ixup_x.dat

rename to start.elf/fixup.dat and replace the ones on the boot partition (/flash in OE or root from windows).

Worked like a charm, mate. Thanks a lot !!!

I wouldn't recommend compiling OpenELEC just to update your firmware but if this is what you want to do then simply build OpenELEC normally as per the OpenELEC Wiki instructions but update the bcm2835-driver package beforehand.

If you want updated firmware then what I would suggest you do is copy the latest firmware to /flash while using the official 6.0.1 installation.

Hahahaha, the solution that popcornmix brought worked terrific. Thanks anyway, mate. I really appreciate your amazing work.

Been noticing issues with last few builds (from approx #0206 not sure) and iPlayer WWW add-on catch-up playback, here is a debug log with latest build #0217 http://sprunge.us/TINj

Essentially I commence any catch-up playback, with either an Akami or Limelight streams at low streaming levels (1.5mbps) and video playback pauses almost immediately at intial streamed playback, then pauses whilst filling buffer before stuttering with both Video and Audio after a few seconds of recommenced playback.

Hi, just updated from 16 to 17 and noticed this old warning has come back - I use a shared MySQL DB on my NAS which is an old 5.x version and can't be updated. Can I safely ignore it? Thanks.

Been noticing issues with last few builds (from approx #0206 not sure) and iPlayer WWW add-on catch-up playback, here is a debug log with latest build #0217 http://sprunge.us/TINj

It's a lot more likely to be fixed if you can identify the specific build which introduced this.

[Milhouse]

Can I safely ignore it?

Yes. Upgrade your database server to make it go away.

I have some buffering issues with latest builds at the beginning when watching livetv channels
http://sprunge.us/QUjD

Can you disable adjust PLL in settings and see if that helps?

same problem with latest builds

I am still having buffering issues in HD. In fact in build 218 even in SD now. Can you please advise where to find PLL settings you mention? Thank you

In system/audio settings make sure "PLL adjustment to maintain audio/video sync" is set to Off (it is by default).

I cannot seem to find that setting under system/settings/audio

Hello popcornmix and milhouse,
build #0217 and #0218 make a good job with audioDTS-CD also with DVD's in multichannel.

But sometime i have to fight with a "not-seeing" cursor after klich to a file.
Tested on 2 sdcards with both builds.

If i set VideoOutput to 1920x1080p and would play some DTS-file i can't handle my Pi2 - must reboot over putty or wait one-two-three minutes.
Setting on desktop playing starts faster but not immediately.

...is a logfile necessary?

THX
Harald

@nb2a:
"I cannot seem to find that setting under system/settings/audio"

System/Audio output/Pll adjustment

Settings "EXPERT" in left corner (at the bottom) ?


btw:
ohh - i amseeing, that Master and Settings on me are both dyed, if i wont to click ;-)
