Hello. I'm experiencing a problem with OpenELEC Helix build 1029 (and earlier) that makes my system go slower than a snail (and one that's going through treacle!)

I did a search of the forums, but nothing related to my problem was flagged up.

I'm not sure if it should be raised here, so if not my apologies, and a redirect would be appreciated.

Whilst investigating what the problem might be, I have found several entries in journalctl / dmesg :-

Nov 01 00:13:03 OpenELEC-dev kernel: [[1;31mpcm512x 1-004d: Failed to get supply 'AVDD': -517[[0m
Nov 01 00:13:03 OpenELEC-dev kernel: [[1;31mpcm512x 1-004d: Failed to get supplies: -517[[0m
Nov 01 00:13:03 OpenELEC-dev kernel: i2c 1-004d: Driver pcm512x requests probe deferral
Nov 01 00:13:03 OpenELEC-dev kernel: [[1;31mpcm512x 1-004c: Failed to get supply 'AVDD': -517[[0m
Nov 01 00:13:03 OpenELEC-dev kernel: [[1;31mpcm512x 1-004c: Failed to get supplies: -517[[0m
Nov 01 00:13:03 OpenELEC-dev kernel: i2c 1-004c: Driver pcm512x requests probe deferral

(I've attached further examples.)

Q1. Is this the correct forum to be raising this ?
Q2. If not, can you point me in the right direction please.
Q3. If it is the correct forum, is this “failure” serious, and causing my system problems.

Further info:- I have a RPi 512B. The wireless dongle in the dmesg is an Edimax EW-7722UTN V2 300MBPS 802.11B/G/N WIRELESS MINI USB WIFI ADAPTER.
The “failures” at the end of dmesg and journal, are when Tvheadend is scanning muxes.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Q1. Sure, if you're using one of the test builds posted to this thread
Q3. Probably not, although I can't read your Dropbox files which you've managed to upload in some weird ".odt" format. Just upload them directly to pastebin - it's dead easy in OpenELEC with ssh:
Code:
dmesg | paste
journalctl --no-pager | paste
then paste the urls here.

In terms of identifying the cause of your slowdown, it's most likely an addon.

You can enable debug log (wiki) and hope the addon is spamming stuff to your log (/storage/.kodi/temp/kodi.log) which might give you a chance to identify and disable it.

If it's still not obvious from your log which addon is responsible, then start with a fresh setup
Code:
systemctl stop kodi
mv /storage/.kodi /storage/.kodi.bak
systemctl start kodi
and re-add your addons one at a time until the slowdown returns - the last addon you added is probably the culprit.

Could someone please confirm that this works from keyboards, remotes, ...
I have only tested with a keyboard.

@popcornmix This seems to have disappeared from newclock4 after recent rebases. Not sure if it was intentional, but...

Ah - well spotted.
Looks like that one got lost. I've added it back in. Thanks!

It was in the #1031 build - the following commits have just dropped out of newclock4 with the #1101 build:
  • Switch from glDrawArrays() to glDrawElements().
  • [rbp/settings] Allow av sync type to be enabled
  • [omxplayer] Add acceleration option to choose omxplayer/dvdplayer automatically
  • videorefclock: refactoring
  • X11: expose crtc needed by drm video sync
  • videorefclock: add video sync drm
  • Add support for calling OnResetDevice on display mode change
  • Add method for waiting for next vsync
  • Add VideoReference clock for Raspberry Pi
  • SQUASH: only if dim or black
  • [mmalcodec] squash: Avoid preroll when using trickplay
  • [AE] Don't submit data to resampler when more than one frame is buffered
  • [mmal] Exit preroll when we have some decoded frames

  • Increase double tap timeout to 300ms
  • prevent bus rescan on a Pi, since the adapter cannot be removed
  • [cec] Update to match header from libcec-2.2.0

Several of these (videoclock, libcec) are now merged upstream.
"SQUASH: only if dim or black" has been merged into "Disable textbox autoscrolling while on screensaver."
Not sure about the rest.

Would it help if I included those commits that drop out of newclock4?

Yes that could be useful.
You may find commits change hashes, but the descriptions should be constant.
You'll also find sometimes (like today) there are a lot of adds and removes due
to pulling out features into PR branches then pulling them back in (with some
squashing, tweaking and detail in commit messages).

I think the missing commits are okay - they are all files that have been merged
or submitted as PRs (while the original commits have gone you should find the
code is still present - just refactored in other commits).
Yes, I'm matching on description to identify when new commits appear. Will update the last release notes with the new information shortly.

How to hide unwanted upnp sources in Videos,Files ? I have not added them but they appered when updated to latest buld.
@Jönke. available UPNP devices will always show up in file mode now as soon as they are detected. Once they are offline they also disapper from there. Ideally the sources list would be grouped by local/custom sources and automatic (USB stick, UPNP, ...) ones - but that's still missing. Showing the UPNP devices available is a first step though.
Please add option to hide them again if you can . Dont like to have unwanted music sources in Videos, files
For a example my Sonos system is there
yea, we know about that. It's unfortunately not that easy (or probably impossible) to filter the UPNP devices upfront showing them. But sane grouping should fix most glitches
