Hi Gopher,
first of all: thank you, really great stuff! I was just watching first episode of the new season of "Unti e Bisunti 2" on my RaspberryPi with RaspBMC, everything works quite well, with a really good video quality.
I just tried some random DMAX Italia show, everything seems to work fine so far (more testing will come in the next days). Addon is a bit slow, but it works.
I've only two things to report:
- I stopped one video, and I noticed the "resume" icon appeared on the right side. I thought "Hey, if this is going to work this will be some really cool stuff". Unfortunately it did'nt
When I tried to resume the video, the device just hung. It got stuck saying "loading, please wait".. I waited for about 3 minutes, then I had to turn it off becase it became unresponsive. I don't know if video resume is supposed to work or not.
- When playing a video, I am able to fast forward only on the buffered part of the video. I am not able to skip to any unbuffered part. If i try the usual controls (arrow UP - Skip 10 mins or arrow right - skip 3 mins) none of them works. If I try to put the player in fastforward mode, it goes forward only as long as it reach the end of the buffered video, then the player hangs and then the only option is to stop the video and restart it from the beginning. On my raspberry pi the cache fills up quite soon. The device is able to buffer only few minutes of the video. As a result, in my situation it's impossible to start a video from the middle of it, considering resume does not work, and considering starting from the beginning I'm unable to skip to any unbuffered part of the video. So, for now, when I want to see any video, I've to see it always from the beginning to the end!
Thank you anyway for your great work, I'm really really happy to have Dmax Italia videos on my RaspBMC. Please let me know if I can help you testing features / functionalities of your addon on my Raspberry.
