suspend temperatures have dropped significantly on Pi3 since #0315

[thent]

Any ideas when the binaries of inputstream will be merged with your builds?

Which binaries in particular?

I was referring to build #0315, where the Inputstream.mpd binaries did not seem to be merged, yet:

Additional commits/pull requests/changes not yet merged upstream:
Added: [env] patch: Set default volume steps to 20
Added: [env] patch: Binary-Addons: Package inputstream.mpd
Added: [env] patch: Update inputstream.mpd settings
Added: [env] patch: Add arm libwidevinecdm.so

But it's working pretty good right now, especially with the drop of PR8723. Someone at kodinerds.net prepared an Amazon video addon using Inputstream and widevine, which is provided now with Kodi.

Just tried a Chris Swan build of OE with Kodi 16 and both DTS and DD works fine with either HDMI audio extracted for SPDIF or with a USB sound stick and SPDI.

So that works the same as OE 6.0.3, OSMC and OE 7 test build. No problems.


Latest build again will not pass through DD or DTS.

When playing A beautiful Mind encoded with Dolby Digital with Kodi 17....



When playing with Kodi 16....



Kodi 17 will play the DD encoded film but only when the passthrough is disabled and then re-enabled whilst playing and done the same when playing any DD film.

For DTS it is not getting passthrough when used with either the USB sound stick or, as shown above, when using HDMI audio and an extractor.

Yes, that was a pain.

Someone at kodinerds.net prepared an Amazon video addon using Inputstream and widevine, which is provided now with Kodi.

Eventually inputstream.mpd will become a regular user-installable addon in official releases (or will be automatically installed by another addon) - I'm only including it in these builds partly out of convenience, but mainly because I'll know what version of the addon you have should you experience a problem.

Note also that I have seen some odd behaviour with dependencies due to add-on defaults, which can cause problems:

1. kodi.inputstream (which is required by inputstream.mpd) is often disabled - this can only be enabled using sqlite3 at the ssh command line:

Code:

sqlite3 /storage/.kodi/userdata/Database/Addons22.db "update installed set enabled=1 where addonID='kodi.inputstream'"

then restart Kodi

2. inputstream.mpd will most likely be disabled by default: Addon browser > My add-ons > All > Input Stream > Enable

You should then be able to play this DASH test stream - if not, enable kodi.inputstream (see #1):

Code:

texturecache.py playw "http://rdmedia.bbc.co.uk/dash/ondemand/testcard/1/client_manifest-events-multilang.mpd"

Edit: Also, starting with the next build, I'll be using the latest inputstream.mpd source code from the git repo, this should have improved seeking.

Hi,

i tested build 0316 on RPi1 and it is working with mpd - teststream works well. With libdev's modded amazon addon kodi crashes and restarts kodi.

[Milhouse]

With libdev's modded amazon addon kodi crashes and restarts kodi.

Yes, it will - the libwidevinecdm.so library used to decrypt the Amazon stream is armv7 only, so no Amazon for RPi1 users I'm afraid.

oh that sucks :-(

Will try it with my RPi2 :-)

[javaboyuk]

by your leave, Milhouse

why is that disabled? :-)

Because some PR (merged) which improved windoze build stuff completely broke linux cross-compiling of needed libdvd* libs.

@Milhouse I was able to figure this libdvd crap out, but the fixes are for my own buildsystem, not sure if similar tricks can be made for OpenELEC,
if you want details via PM let me know.

Sure, I'd be interested in your patches - thanks.

Hi Milhouse,
Did you have any luck? If you have a suggestion how I could help please PM me.

Thanks a lot for clearing that up!

Sorry for interrupting in the inputstream issue but I have a very annoying issue. When watching h.264 720p live stream, I have green artifacts (lines from the bottom of the screen) every few seconds. I've tried using MMAL and omxplayer but both resulted with the issue...does anyone know how to solve it?

Hi guys. Just wanted to say a huge thanks for the effort and an amazing concept/product. I moved from minix neo device and I'm very very happy with the rpi3 and the amazing SW developed here.

Sorry for interrupting in the inputstream issue but I have a very annoying issue. When watching h.264 720p live stream, I have green artifacts (lines from the bottom of the screen) every few seconds. I've tried using MMAL and omxplayer but both resulted with the issue...does anyone know how to solve it?

Are you overclocking? If you are try disabling.
Do you you get this with recordings? If so then a short sample file would be useful.

Not overclocking. Not a recording. It is a h264 p2p live channel. I've noticed that each time the playback is stopped due to buffering and resumed again I get the green artifacts. After few times of buffering cycles the buffering issue stops and I get cyclic green lines every 30 seconds or so.

A debug log (wiki) may have some clues.
