Hallo, I had Problem with Build 03032016. Android App Yatze (Kodi Remote). I can not use yatze as remote control. Last time (Build 02282016) Yatze works just fine.
yatze could connet to Kodi (Webserver) but no remote function.
is that problem from yatze or from kodi?
with webbrowser there's no problem with remote function
Sorry or my bad english

Yatse 6.0.1 is working normally for me with #0303. Please check that your Kodi Web Server is configured with the same port that Yatse is using. It has a habit of switching back to the old default port 80 from the new default port 8080 when changing between different OpenELEC versions.

Any 3D fans please test latest version. This has 3D support in libbluray, which means things like audio/subtitle track names should work, and hopefully fix issues with choosing the right files with Pixar movies.
Report if anything is fixed and if anything new is broken.

That sounds great!

Tried 'Brave 3D' and it only plays the introduction correctly - picture changes to black when the main movie would normally start (although the passthrough audio continues to play in the background)

Here's a log: http://sprunge.us/DCbP

3D MVC MKV dit not work. Movie was playing in 2D. 3D ISO did work however. This was working in the build before. How is 3D MVC detected?

mkv files need to be named correctly (e.g. with .3D.MVC. is filename).
When named correctly they play in 3D. Are you sure yours are correctly named?

No i named them .3DFP.mkv, needed for VTEN. But this seemed to work with previous build. Anyway will rename them and test again.

Another thing I just noticed - when I start another 3D bluray iso it displays the information that my playback devices do not support 3D mode and so it's played in 2D (the disc/disc menu shows this info).
When I browse the disc and choose the biggest ssif file manually it can be played in 3d - but shouldn't the disc be played in 3D mode automatically?

Here's the log of my attempt to play the disc: http://sprunge.us/BOYe

I played The Martian, and it played just fine. I skipped through a lot to get to the subtitle part, and that didn't have any issues. I did the same with The Walk and everything that I saw looked good, but I didn't watch the whole movie. These are both 3D MVC MKVs.

That’s unfortunate. Can’t use another backend since only DVBLink works with my current AnySee tuners.

I could be out of place here but maybe this would be the time to switch to TVHeadend?

Good luck getting any vendor to support Kodi, not going to happen in 9 out of 10 cases imho. Just like Hifiberry, they all don't have a budget for it.

As for your problem, TVheadend will take a bit to learn, because it is a little over-engineered with regard to the channel lists. If you can spare
a few evenings of tinkering, it is very very powerful and flexible. Depending on the jurisdiction you are in, using it with oscam and e.g. a USB
smartcard reader might work and might even be legal. Don't discuss here though, use a search engine and a more appropriate site for CA.

Another option might be abandoning linear TV altogether and subscribe to a service like Netflix. There were times in my life when I watched
500 channels and after a couple of months it dawned on me that I wasn't really missing anything by not watching any of them.

Post removed as problem solved:

Router / NAS had decided to connect to each other at 10Mb half-duplex rather than 1000Mb full-duplex..

No software issue at all..

[Milhouse]

@stourwalk: is #0304 the first build that has this problem?

[rewsteruk]

In #0303 the openELEC addon has been added to the main menu, but in the appearance settings of the Estuary skin (which is great by the way) there is no switch to disable as a menu item, please could one be added.

[nalor]

Here are my findings with build #0304 - at first I had the settings to show the bluray menu enabled:

• libbluray still thinks my devices aren't 3d capable, so a lot of menus aren't displayed because the requirements do not fit
  
• when I start one of those affected iso's and press stop it takes about 30 seconds until I get back to the menu, in the meantime everything freezes and no further input is possible >> log http://sprunge.us/ELOR
  

Finally I've changed my settings to go straight to the main movie - this makes the situation a lot better (although I've to admit that I like menus )

I've started a lot of different images and still noticed a few problems:

• I noticed that I cannot always reliable skip chapters - sometimes it's loading the new chapter and after finishing the picture doesn't change and playback is halted - log http://sprunge.us/NdMA
  
• Special iso 'Edge of tomorrow' - the inverted stereo mode isn't working, changing this settings has no effect on the picture (it works never - but usually I don't need this setting )
  
• Tried to play another pixar movie 'Up 3D' and it happens the same as yesterday with 'Brave 3D' >> Disney introduction is played, Pixar introduction is played - and after this the audio continues, but only a black picture. Tried to skip forward, backward chapters or only fast forward a little bit - no chance to get the picture back. Only when I skip back to the very beginning I get the introduction videos again. And after simply listening to the audio + black picture for a few minutes it completely locked up... not even ssh login is possible any more. The screen is frozen and in the debug-information I can see 'MEM:35244/754724 KB' >> so I think it ran out of memory. Reset the pi, repeated the experiment and created a logfile shortly before it ran out of memory again: http://sprunge.us/DVWF
  Screen black, audio plays for a couple of seconds, next also audio stops and free memory is rapidly eaten up until audio comes back and the free memory is allocated at a slower pace again... but nevertheless a couple of seconds later it's gone and the pi completely locks up.
  
• Continued with testing my different images and when playing another ony and skipping a few chapters forward + fast forward I ended at the end of the movie? And finally the progress bar says 2:21:38 / 2:06:32 - definitely an invalid position http://sprunge.us/BTXQ - here's a screenshot
  

Finally I tested playback of AACS protected 3D iso and basically I can play them now Yippie !

Unfortunately all of them are played in 2D mode only - any ideas? >>> http://sprunge.us/UhgP

The progress made during the last weeks is really amazing! Many thanks to Popcornmix and Milhouse for their constant commitment to Kodi

Has anyone else noticed this bug with the user interface, playing 3D framepacked movies.

It might be a bug with the new skin or it highlights the problem.

The first time after a reboot I get screenshot 1 with the user interface rendered at half resolution as expected.

If I then play the same file again, I get screenshot 2 and the icon resolution has been halved again.

I get rendering issues only when playing files flagged has Half-SBS or Half-OU. For frame packed movies if i label them .3D.TAB.mkv instead of 3D.HTAB.mkv i get a properly rendered GUI. Try renaming them 3D.TAB.mkv and see if that fixes it for you.

[timstephens24]

I'm not having that issue. I have them named *3D.MVC.mkv
