OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2

Gotham settings are being reworked . Still somewhat confusing to new users. You have to change the settings level to "Advanced", if I remember correctly.

Thankyou! - Haha, I like the first post in your link: "I fear many of us will simply go insane answering "where is X setting?" questions." Yep .. I'm totally not helping.

Thoughts / suggestions?

Are you overclocking? That should obviously help with CPU situation.

You know, I didn't even consider to check the clock settings because I figured these builds would already include the overclock by default. Is that not the case? What are the default clock settings? (I can check when I get home, but someone else might be able to reply before I am able to do that.) I'd like to stick with the overclocks managed through the raspi-config utility. Has anyone had success with Turbo? High? Medium? I guess I'll try them all. If anyone reading this is having success with Turbo let me know.

Something I need to examine.

An interesting test would be to produce a similar video with AC3 or DTS audio, and see if playback is better or worse.

Yes, it is uncompressed PCM. I didn't even consider that that would be more difficult than dts/ac3 since it isn't compressed. Right now I'm testing the 1920x1088 vs 1920x1080 issue -- the BD encode should finish sometime tomorrow morning (constant quality 10 and placebo is painful Sleepy) .. I'll have to mux it with a few different audio formats to test it out. I'll include a downmixed 2-channel 16-bit pcm, dolby digital if it has it (since I can try passthrough on this since my tv supports it -- I'll also turn off passthrough just to see the results), as well as the best pcm. If anyone uses eac3to.. does this look like the right command to downmix to 2ch 16bit wav:?

Code:
eac3to input.pcm output.wav -down2 -down16
