Without Hyperion still the same.
Disabling Hifiberry from boot (remove the conf file from modules-load.d) will resolve this issue though (and, of course, set speaker config to 2.0 and disable passthrough, since my tv can't handle passthrough).

So it's something with the HifiBerry, it's mentioned in the 0817 build (Hifiberry DAC+ support), but nothing in 0807...

Are there any other Hifiberry Digi users out there?

Feedback on omxplayer while seeking/trickplay would be welcomed, as this code has changed quite a bit with the dvdplayer refactor.
Feedback on dvdplayer performance (including seeking/trickplay) would also be appreciated.

Well, here is some feedback on #0823b.
I have not had any problem with omxplayer.

Seeking in DVD/iso's works ok at speed x2, but above trick play are problematic with black screens for for half a second or more. When forwarding/seeking x16 or x32 it looses pace and sometimes stepping a bit forward and backward. However, I think its a minor problem.

Ok but then live-tv uses dvdplayer, not OMXplayer.

How to set omxplayer for live tv ?

I've just has a look and with the 3 acceleration options enabled it uses omxplayer for livetv (e.g. codec omx-h264 or omx-mpeg2).
If you are not getting that can you post a debug enabled log file.

Played 2 diffrent sd channels and 1 hdtv channel and all was using dvdplayer.

I tried DSD multi channel audio on this build but afraid playback lots of clicks and plops.
I am comparing this latest RPI build against my stock Windows7 PC with XXBMC (13.0-ALPHA12 Git:20140210-699163e) which fully supports multi audio.

Which file were you playing? The first sample linked from the PR is 352kHz.
We were refusing to resample above 192kHz, but I've removed that limit with latest commit and that sample seems to play.

If you were trying to play something below 192kHz then it may be another issue and a sample file would be useful.

I have tried a few different 5.1 commercial files 176400, I will try to put together a sample.

o.K -

I'm sorry to keep going on about this - BUT -

Is there no-one else out there having major problems with live tv at the moment using the latest newclock3/4 builds??

It feels like it has gone back a year to the good old days when you couldn't get a picture!

I use latest VDR and am using a DVB-T tuner

Works fine on Official 4.14.

Am I alone with this

thanks

Just so you don't feel alone, yes, there's someone else having problems with PVR...

I'm also having problems with PVR using newclock4.

Specifically, I'm having problems with HD channels using newclock4. Same channels play nice with newclock3.

I'm still investigating and more info is on the way once I have the time.

[Milhouse]

Searching in the YouTube addon will cause xbmc.bin to segfault in both #0825 (newclock3) and #0825b (newclock4) - this is caused by "xbmc: link with -fwhole-program", which will be reverted in the next build.

Can you check if OMXplayer or dvdplayer are used at yours setup for live tv ?
I have problem with live tv with menus on dvdplayer but not OMXplayer

[h.udo]

@Jönke,

Skimming through the debug log, I'm almost certain dvdplayer is being used but, like I said earlier, I'll investigate further at a later time (currently enjoying some much deserved vacation).

@popcornmix

I'm also seeing something fishy with newclock4 OSD and video FPS decoupled mechanism. Behaviour goes like this:

Power on RPi >> OSD FPS stays around 30 like it does with newclock3
After a while(?) >> OSD FPS drops to 2 and stays there

After FPS drop, OSD becomes very sluggish and unresponsive. I'm seeing something like 5 secs to respond to remote control, i.e. nearly unusable.

It feels like the CPU is busy with something and can't process commands fast enough. Videos play nice and without problems.

All in all, excellent work guys!

I'm also having problems with PVR. The SD Channels works fine. The video of the HD Channels is fine also, but with the audio I have problems. When I select AC3 audio I only hear noice, the other audio streams (mp2) works fine.

Here is the log file: [/URL] http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=277168 [/URL]

When I watch a recording everything works fine.
I use the newclock4 build 825

Played 2 diffrent sd channels and 1 hdtv channel and all was using dvdplayer.

This is the issue:

Code:

20:51:30 116.395012 T:2725516368  NOTICE: COMXPlayer::CreatePlayers OMXPlayer unsuitable due to video codec

I suspect this is due to the PVR client and the fast channel change patch where we can actually start playing before the codecs are known (only once a video packet is seen we initialise the video decoder) which avoids the usual delay while probing for audio/video formats.

I think it makes more sense to treat no codecs at all as supported rather than unsupported, which will make omxplayer get chosen in future.

Just updated from 5 Aug release to #0825 and after xbmc starts it reboots and enter in bootloop (reboots, enter in xbmc and then reboots and so one). No one with this problem?

Probably an addon causing a segfault, possibly the same problem triggered by searching in the YouTube addon (which will be fixed in tonights build). Try testing against #0824 (which doesn't have the YouTube problem), and confirm if #0826 fixes the problem once it is released (in another 2-3 hours time).
