I've found another strange issue with OMXPlayer - again with current build. Don't have time to right now to check which build this issue began, but can do later.

Zooming (I have remote keys to zoom in and out) does not zoom the image but only changes the framing (ie black line of the border). So zooming in (zoom amount decreasing) brings the frame inwards but doesn't change the video so the view gets smaller and shows less of the actual video. Conversely zooming out (zoom amount increasing) the frame moves outwards but the video does not change - when the frame size reaches beyond the screen the zooming effectively is doing nothing).

This is the same with all codecs I tried (XVID, H264, MP4).

DVDplayer does not show this behaviour and zooms as expected.

BTW I've disabled FIQ_FSM and so far no lock up issues after an hour or two of playing video.

New OpenELEC Gotham build: #0312
(Supercedes previous build)

Code:

# uname -a
Linux rpi512 3.13.6 #1 PREEMPT Wed Mar 12 00:22:33 GMT 2014 armv6l GNU/Linux

# vcgencmd version

# lsb_release
OpenELEC (Milhouse) - Version: devel-20140312020133-r17896-g10b90c5

Based on tip of XBMC master (4d04fc3, changelog) and tip of OpenELEC master (10b90c5, changelog) with the following modifications:

• Includes newclock3 commits (except for 3643406 which I've replaced with a static spinner to avoid hammering the GUI)
  
• Includes kernel 3.13.y-next commits (see below for details on enabling FIQ_FSM patch)
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC fernetmenta patches (due to conflict with newclock3)
  
• Default setting for "Show RSS Feed" changed to disabled
  
• Disabled "Total Duration" in Confluence (see build #0221 for details)
  
• ALSA is enabled and any suitable hardware should be available in XBMC Audio Settings
  

Build Highlights:

1. OpenELEC:
   • Updated WLAN firmware
     
2. XBMC:
   • Speedup FileItem::IsSamePath (first fruits of database performance enhancements)
     
   • Album Information on a folder in files mode wasn't working. fixes #14874
     
   • Various PVR, paplayer and flac/wav codec updates
     
3. newclock3:
   • [dvdplayer] Use inexact seeking like omxplayer
     
   • [omxcodec] More care with dropping frames quickly
     
   • Memphiz iOS7 Airplay fixes resulting from this post - not guaranteed to work, purely experimental, but hopefully a step in the right direction.

Additional Testing Notes:

1. Testers should try adding the following entry to their advancedsettings.xml:
   
   Code:

   <advancedsettings>
  <video>
    <defaultplayer>dvdplayer</defaultplayer>
    <defaultdvdplayer>dvdplayer</defaultdvdplayer>
  </video>
</advancedsettings>
   and report if it is better/worse than omxplayer. You can still play files with omxplayer using the context-menu "Play using... OMXPlayer".
   

   ---

2. The following settings are no longer required in config.txt and should be removed:
   
   Code:

   no_hdmi_resample=1
hdmi_stream_channels=1
   no_resample_audio is now a default, and hdmi_stream_channels is switched based on audio content. For the time being when using passthrough, 2.0 speaker layout should continue to be used (you will still get 5.1 with AC3/DTS).
   

   ---

3. The FIQ_FSM patch is now enabled by default in OpenELEC master. See the FIQ_FSM announce thread for details.
   
   One new feature, currently disabled by default, is accelerated support of high-speed isochronous transactions (webcams, real time devices, etc.). There's a possibility this could be used by ALSA or DVB modules (although not always) which may affect some users (hopefully for the better). If you might benefit from this, enable by adding the following option to the end of the line in your /flash/cmdline.txt file:
   
   Code:

   dwc_otg.fiq_fsm_mask=0x7
