After a bit of a haitus from openelec (I had last used r13156) I recently tested r13556 (from thestateofme site) and have noticed a number of issues,
1. I was unable to view any of the online streaming videos (cbsnews, aljazeera, tmz) except for the video clips I have on the USB stick (is there an issue with opening steams ??). The streaming sites would look as though they are to start and then the blue background changes to gray and we're back to the menu settings as through we haven't done anything. I then switched to r13156 of the firmware and all worked OK so I know its not the sites noted above.
2. On the new firmware, I was finally able to play OGG video but the sample file's audio and video quickly went out of sync (about 2 seconds in) and after about 13 seconds the video simply hung (not sure if this is a codec or an omxplayer issue). Who can I report this to ? I can upload the sample file if needed...
I then tried rbej's image (xbmc 12.0.7) and things improved on point-1 above. I was able to see streaming videos but only after a rather loooooong initial buffering delay (why has the delay to start the video increased so dramatically ? It's almost 3-4 minutes now to start compared to say 15-20 seconds from before).
Even though there have been 400 changes, I didn't really see any noticeable improvements (the RPi unfortunately still feels sluggish). Point-2 above responded in the same exact manner with rbej's image.
I'm using a vanilla RPi-256 sans any modifications and/or custom settings. Thoughts/suggestions/ideas ?
Regards.
