Sorry for the noobish question but I can't find "Update library on startup" option under Video > Library in this build.

I'm trying to disable it because it's consuming too much CPU on my rpi.

Change your settings level to "Standard" or above.

It's already in Expert mode. Maybe it's some related to my language settings (Brazilian Portuguese). I can't test it now am at work but I will test as soon as I get home and let you know.

Thanks

Also make sure you're testing with stock Confluence.

Works like a charm! I wasn't able to reproduce the double key issue. Great to see that it has been properly fixed instead of using a work-around.

One thing I did notice is that responding becomes relatively slow when you press a key really, and I mean almost abnormally, fast. It actually goes faster when you press slightly less fast. Could this be because of the time-out increase?
I used the shutdown menu as a low action list instead of e.g. the movie library with heavier loads on switching entries for testing.
I do want to be able to navigate relatively fast every once in a while and the delay is on the fringe of being possibly annoying right now.

I'm happy with this being fixed in it's current state nevertheless.

Yes. The Panasonic TVs generate two button press events if you hold the button for more than about 250ms (which is a quite normal duration for a button press).
The workaround is to reject a second button if it occurs within ~300ms of the first.
Unfortunately two rapid presses produces the same result as the single leisurely press which means they also get filtered out.

I've been working on improving the behaviour of CEC remotes.
Currently when you hold down a button it repeats at a rate chosen by the TV. Typically that is between 2 and 5 times per second (varies with TV manufacturer).
This is a much slower repeat than a keyboard (repeats 12 times per second) which makes scrolling long lists slow with CEC.

My plan is to (optionally) ignore the CEC presses and generate a different stream of presses with a configurable repeat rate, (e.g. allowing 12 repeats per second).
Unfortunately CEC devices are pretty inconsistent in behaviour. It can be impossible to distinguish a few quick presses from a single longer press.
Some devices generate button released events which are useful, but the Sony in front of me doesn't always...
So I'll allow a few settings to tweak how it behaves and we'll see if people prefer it (the default will behave how it always has).

Not ready for tonight, but maybe tomorrow night.

Build Highlights:
[*]Add extra libcec de-bounce commits from popcornmix - new delay/repeat/release options in Settings -> System -> Input devices -> Peripherals -> CEC Adapter

If you use CEC then please test this.

New settings in system/input/peripherals/cec.

delay: duration before repeating (ms)
repeat: rate the button will repeat at when held (ms)
release: duration after less pressed message until button is considered released (ms)

delay should be set as low as possible, without unwanted double presses
increase rate for faster scrolling of lists when held down. The keyboard in xbmc uses 80ms.
if release is zero, we just rely on the released messages through CEC. Otherwise released messages are ignored and the release will occur after this duration.

I'd suggest trying delay=300, repeat=80, release=0 as a starting point, which works well on my Panasonic.

Even though kodi doesn't respond with either remotes I was still able to access it through putty and was able to access directories on pi using explorer. I have now enabled debug on pi and will post it the next time it doesn't respond.

Thank you

Try with a lower number - e.g. 10 or 20?

Thanks, it seems 10 is the magic number. I've been testing this for ~10 days with a bunch of 25 fps videos with passthrough enabled and I'm unable to reproduce (fingers crossed). (I was getting this.)

As it took a few hours to reproduce with 50, I have skipped intermediate values (50->10).

[gendo]

Popcornmix did you have time to look at the "hack: revert squash: don't update originaldts when marked as invalid" I have with live tv? Could you if not a big problem revert it for the time being so that i can try out latest builds again?

BTW, this is (temporarily) reverted again.

Thanks

Popcornmix could you please revert again so that i can test latest builds. Or tell me if i can assist in fixing this bug?

On the latest build I'm seeing what I would consider high cpu usage while Internet streaming a low quality sd video (%72+-), streaming a 1080p video over UPnP nets around %35+- usage which is great. I'm just wondering if this is normal since I haven't checked CPU usage in a good while. If not normal I will provide logs and more pertinent information.

Pi is overclocked to:

arm_freq=900
core_freq=330
sdram_freq=400
over_voltage=2

*Edit*
It was yatse (the android app) causing the CPU usage spike, I dont know what all it queries but it causes %15 to %20 additional CPU usage when running.

Pi has stopped responding I have uploaded the log hopefully it is of some help

It doesn't look like any button presses came through, so my changes shouldn't have an effect.
Can you confirm if the night before's build has the same issue?
That also had some new libCEC updates (but not the repeat button changes).
