Ah, no, some of the addons probably have not been rebuilt since PR8966 merged. I'll make a change to my build procedure so that built-in addons are rebuilt every night.

The last "clean" build took place on the morning of 10 Jan at 01:18 which pre-dates the merge of PR8966 at 10 Jan 09:49. The peripheral.joystick addon was however rebuilt yesterday (15 Jan, build #0115) so that might have fixed the crash.

Regardless I'll run a clean build overnight so that #0116 is fully up to date - many thanks for investigating (and apologies for having wasted your time - it's unfortunately not the first time an add-on change has bitten me so I should have known better!)

@radekson5 & @weppa can you confirm if controllers continue to cause a crash with #0115?

#0115 works well again with controllers, thanks for quick investigating and fixing.

Hi,

I have just updated my RPI2 to the #0115 build and I noticed a bug. The UI fits just perfect usually, but when I pause a video, the UI seems overscaned.

The UI is fine in the menu: http://i.imgur.com/VEvDaUO.jpg

The UI overscan when video paused: http://i.imgur.com/y3l2Sbm.jpg

The video resolution does not matter, I have tried several resolutions, 1080p and 720p failed too.

Do you know what would be the solution?

Looks like you resized the UI. You should instead just deactivate overscan on your television and set zoom to 0%.

You updated to #0115 from what version? If you were on one of these test builds before upgrading to #0115 can you determine the first build when this issue started? And can you also confirm your TV is in pixel 1:1 mode and not applying automatic overscan (ie. some sort of auto-zoom).

What is that chunksize change about? Chunksize is retrieved from the nfs server normally...

mm00 · 2017-01-17, 14:21

Thank for your answer! I found the cause. When the "Adjust display refresh rate" Kodi option is off, the UI is fine. When I change it to "on start/stop" or to "Always" the UI seems overscale like on my photo.

I can't tell you when this bug popped up, as I might changed this settings some weeks ago to "Always" and I haven't noticed instantly the overscale, so I was not able to pair this bug to that specific settings.

When using libnfs?
Check with fritsch he is keen on increasing chunk size as it improves max bitrate of files he can play.

This still sounds like more of an issue with the way your TV is configured - can you confirm that it is in pixel 1:1 mode and is not automatically zooming the display?

Also have you used the "video calibration" option in kodi?
Note that needs to be applied to every resolution/framerate you use.
E.g. you may have calibrated 1080p60 for the kodi GUI, but "Adjust display refresh rate" may switch to 1080p24 which may not have been calibrated.

Either calibrate every possibly resolution/refresh, or fix it in the right place - on the TV.
Check the display menu options (it may be called "just scan", "screen fit", "HD size", "full pixel", "unscaled", "dot by dot", "native" or "1:1") and remove any video calibration set in kodi.

Please report if you spot any difference when playing files through NFS (using internal nfs:// links, rather than OS mounted paths).
In theory high bitrate file playback may be improved a little.
But random access could be slower (possibly seen when playing ISO files for example).

Yes - chunksizes are logged in kodi.log as gathered from the nfs server - this is with libnfs

Server is FreeNAS 8.3.

Tested on RPi3, performance doesn't seem any better or worse, so I'm not entirely sure this 128K chunk change is having any effect at all.
