OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 3 (Kodi 14.0)

I would be interested in knowing the exact build that improved things. There's been no performance related fix for EPG.
There's been some experimental changes elsewhere (e.g. changing thread priorities) which could have helped things,
but it would be nice to identify exactly which change helped (so I don't revert it).
Hi popcornmix,

i tested around with the new builds. The sound is fine without GPU acceleration except for 24Bit/192kHz files. The sound is not like white noise. I think the playback is to fast.

In the log file i see the following error:

Code:
20:23:51 44307.937500 T:3033527376   ERROR: CAESinkALSA - snd_pcm_writei(-32) Broken pipe - trying to recover
20:23:53 44309.691406 T:2699031632   ERROR: Previous line repeats 34 times.

Here is a debug log

Playback via HDMI to my TV is fine. Here is a log

But at the moment i am very happy to use my HifiBerry again Big Grin

Thanks to all persons which helped me!!!

EDIT
If i set the output to 96khz the playback to slow. When i set the output to 44.1khz the playback is even slower

If enabling logging makes it better, then that is interesting (although can't think of a reason for that yet).

OpenELEC Helix build: #1005
I can confirm:
I played 2 mn of the same HD audio file with log disabled then with log enabled, that 6 times:
- Without log I get a drop at average of 1.5 second, so around 80 drops for 2 mn
- With log I get 0 to 6 drops within the first 15 seconds then not drop for 2 mn

The log:
2 starts of the same HD audio file, the first start has no drop, the second start has 5 or 6 drops.

Just so you know, my Pi is connected to a monitor using HDMI, which then has its stereo line-out connected to the stereo line-in on a Windows PC which is connected to 2.1 speakers. I tested one of your demo files and had no problem with playback.

As I'm unable to reproduce your testing environment let alone your problem, I can't really contribute more than this.

Reproducing your issue is crucial to understanding and finding a solution, but obviously reproducing is not easy otherwise I'm pretty sure it would have been solved already.

@Milhouse

Thanks for your great builds. I have used them for ....since Rbej.

Please Help .

I have issues with my addons since build #0901.
Suddenly several different Add on have "script errors" and basic function do not work probably.
These are for example Icefilm 1channel Mashup etc

In build #0830 the works perfectly. I have tested back and forth re-installing in order to confirm that the issue is coming from the upgrade to build #0901. This i can confirm .The problem of course is also on new builds like #106

I here have been reading through the release note but for me as a "non expert" I do not read that there should be issues

here is the log
http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=313143

Cheers and thumbs up for these awsome builds and your work

P
I am a bit confused Smile

I understand that it is great to get involved in the more esoteric parts of development builds, thats great,- but for me - the most basic parts of these media player builds seem flakey.

I have tried all the recent builds, and without exception, if I leave omx acceleration ON, ( i.e default) then searching through video is unusable and results in huge audio/video sync issue when returning to play. It works a bit better OFF, but it introduces a lot of stuttering.

Thanks everybody for all the fantastic work - but - isn't that facility the most basic thing a media player should be able to do?

I have posted this comment on a number of threads , in the hope someone can point out an error I may be making,( highly likely) or at least agree with what I am saying, but with no luck.

I have done completely fresh installs and the result is the same- unusable video searching.

The official build doesn't do this- ( 4.2.0 ), so it just a case of this is not a priority in the current dev builds?, in which case I will stick with the official builds- slow as they are !Smile


many thanks

Most of the dev focus is currently on dvdplayer as that has has the most changes since Gotham (and that's what my home xbmc setup is configured to use).
I test omxplayer on and off and it seems to behave fine.

Ideally upload a sample file that demonstrates the problem. Explain exactly what you do to trigger it (e.g. wait 10 seconds then seek forwards twice by 30 seconds, now audio is out of sync).
A debug log when doing this will help confirm if my settings are the same and that I'm seeing the same issue as you.

I was not able to find the exact build were it all starts to be good , but at least all builds from middle of august until now is good. So i hope you wont change anything that old Smile

If you don't have the hardware, I understand it's not easy to test for you.
As I have some time to work on it, I can propose you to tell me any test, log, etc... you want to get a clue on the issue.

BTW, does popcornmix has a 5.1 hardware?
And what about the other issue I found?

New bug in PVR playback. This appears to be restricted to recent Milhouse builds (last week, aprox, to date) — It does not affect the current OS X Helix alpha 4 nightly (Oct 7).

When you play back a show with an EDL for commercial skipping, the mac build skips the ad automatically, but the recent Milhouse builds either go black at the ad, or freeze on the last frame before the ad. Sound continues to play for a bit and pressing up in this interval skips the ad.

In both cases, the new myth (not cmyth) PVR add-on is being used. The following log starts a few seconds before the ad.

Identifying the exact build that introduced the problem would be useful.
