I can't install any addon from libreelec repository with latest test build. Could anybody confirm this?

[doldi]

the problem with to fast scrolling with mouse in a folder is always on all Kodi Krypton builds for RPi and win32 present.
Nobody of the "skin - developer" have fixed them - making a little youtube-video and have postet that in the relevant thread some times ago.

If it's a general kodi issue that effect win32 then I'd suggest you open a trac ticket. It is not something we will be fixing here.

Thanks popcornmix,
...its a general Kodi win32 and Kodi RPi Problem since Krypton was released.

create a ticket now (bug):
#17334: Scroling with Mouse in the vertical menue and folders - RPi (Leia) and win32 (Krypton) - touch on a androidphone works (tolerably)

[*]ffmpeg: improved HEVC 1080p playback

John Cox is back working on HEVC acceleration for Pi.
This update switches to using the vchiq gpu service (rather than old mailbox interface) which allows more flexibility when submitting GPU jobs.
It also adds gpu support for weighted prediction which was one example that previously wasn't gpu accelerated.

So, if you have any HEVC (aka H.265) content then try it with this build. It should be a little better than the previous build
(and work is continuing).

[Milhouse]

All of the 1080p HEVC content I've tried (apart from Jellyfish 3Mbps and 5Mbps samples, which might have some weird encoding that isn't yet supported) are playing really well with none of the drops or skips that are present with last night's #0217 build, so this is a major advance! Thanks popcornmix & John!

Edit: I should add that's on an RPi3 with moderate overclock:

Code:

arm_freq=1300
core_freq=500
gpu_freq=500
over_voltage=4
force_turbo=1

sdram_freq=580
over_voltage_sdram=5
sdram_schmoo=0x02000020

but even so, like-for-like this latest #0218 build is flawless with 1080p content - with previous builds the same content and overclock would drop frames whenever there is a lot of action/movement/detail.

[Milhouse]

Just in case there are any reproducible crashes with the latest build it might be worth having some debug-enabled builds on hand:

Build #0218z: RPi / RPi2

These debug-enabled builds should produce more useful crashlogs, assuming you're able to reproduce the crash etc.

I found out the pocketsnes was renamed to snes9x 2002 - so i installed this but it has the same problem..Can I be of any more assistance?

I'll post on the GitHub issue if I need anything.

I think i should wait for the bugfix of this before i open another ticket because there is no working input on fifa97, right?

No, you should open an issue for every problem you encounter. Even if there's too many issues to track down, we can still get a sense for which emulators are working better and which should be shipped as default.

2) opening mario kart 64 on mupen64 is rebooting libreelec

Is there anyone who can say when N64 emulator is going to work on rpi3?

This is a known issue because OpenGLES support isn't implemented in RetroPlayer on the Pi. Given that it's still experimental on OpenGL (current progress), it might be a while before we see built-in N64 support on the Pi.

Have you tried IARL and RetroArch? RetroArch should support N64 on the Pi.

Is it possible to see frame skip/drop information? It would be handy to be able to see that info when testing HEVC files.

[Milhouse]

Shift-O on a keyboard. Or map a button to PlayerDebug

This is (part of) my custom remote.xml, as I'm short of buttons so the same button has to do double duty - the <record> button toggles PlayerProcesInfo during playback, but open the Info panel (during video playback) and the same button toggles PlayerDebug.

Code:

<keymap>
  <FullscreenVideo>
    <remote>
      <record>PlayerProcessInfo</record>
    </remote>
  </FullscreenVideo>

  <FullscreenInfo>
    <remote>
      <record>PlayerDebug</record>
      <info>Close</info>
    </remote>
  </FullscreenInfo>

  <PlayerProcessInfo>
    <remote>
      <record>PlayerProcessInfo</record>
    </remote>
  </PlayerProcessInfo>
</keymap>

About the lightning bolt icon..... Is it always a power supply issue, or can it also be too low an over voltage setting for an overclocked pi?

[linkinsoldier]

Short questions from my side: is there a good option to shutdown only one controller? On PS3 I do a long press on the ps button and choose shutdown controller on kodi even a short one gets me back to home screen, but I can't find a way to shutdown the controller to save battery - only shutdown kodi brings shutdown of the controllers (all of them).

[CAM STEW]

The HEVC improvements are great, not every video I have is watchable but a large number of them now are. Are there likely to be more improvements?

[Milhouse]

I can't install any addon from libreelec repository with latest test build. Could anybody confirm this?

Might be that you're trying to install from an LE 9.0 repository which doesn't yet exist - can you upload a debug log when trying to install an add-on?

Thank you Milhouse.

You might want to check this thread on the LibreELEC forum: https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread-4878-p...l#pid34974 also this thread https://forum.libreelec.tv/thread-4235-post-34183.html

Apparently the issues you are seeing are not not seen on x86_64 hardware, so appear to be specific to the RPi.

Configuring "BOB MMAL deinterlacing" "fixes" it, can you try that and confirm if better/worse/unchanged?

Setting "vcgencmd arbiter set arm_uc 12 0" at the command line may also help (with or without BOB) - changing this setting worked for @smp1. Useful info about the arbiter setting here and here.

If this is due to insufficient RAM bandwidth then a small SDRAM overclock might help - the default RAM frequency is 500MHz but most Pi can overclock SDRAM frequency to 550, and some can go as high as 600. It does require a fair amount of testing to determine a stable overclock however (see separate threads discussing overclocking and methodology etc.).

I'm also having issues with my technotrend s2-4600 usb dvb card. I'm getting discontinuity errors when recording in the background and kodi in standy or even when kodi is stopped (systemctl stop kodi). So maybe a driver/kernel issue. Following modules are loaded:
