OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi (Kodi 15.0) Part 1
#0105 is uploading now, but it has the same DTBs as #0104b. If #0104b didn't work I'm not expecting #0105 to work as there should be no difference in terms of device tree apart from #0105 using the updated mkknlimg script.

If it turns out that 105 is no better then can I ask for some boot logs and the output from 'vcdbg log msg'?

yes i use addon ListenLiveEU and did not try using local files (i don't have any musical file)

  • Includes newclock4 patches
  • Excludes the OpenELEC fernetmenta patches due to conflicts with newclock4
  • Excludes the OpenELEC linux-01-RPi_support patch in favour of sourcing these and possibly more recent patches directly from kernel branch rpi-3.18.y
  • Excludes the OpenELEC kodi-001-helix_rpb_backports patch in favour of sourcing these and possibly more recent patches directly from newclock4 branch
  • Default setting for "Show RSS Feed" changed to disabled (new installs only) [patch details]

Build Highlights:
  1. Updated mkknlimg patch.
  2. Failure to add device tree support should now halt the build
  3. As a final check, I've also added kernel device tree status to the build information panel (see top of post)

I think these may be causing issues with GUI/subs being displayed on top of video. Keep an eye here:

Still no joy with lirc in #105. Below you have results of 'dmesg' and 'vcdbg log msg':

Thanks - there's nothing obviously wrong there. I'll dig a bit.
@thent I can report that Hifiberry Digi is working fine with #0105:
Code:
dtoverlay=hifiberry-digi
[ that's the new abbreviated style, but the old verbose way still works ]

Let me know if you still have problems.

lirc next.
I can see lirc-rpi selecting the correct GPIOs based on the configuration parameters, but it's clear I'm not going to be able to do much more without an IR receiver, so I've blown the budget on a TSOP4838. The investigation can continue once it arrives.
I have dtoverlay=lirc-rpi and it works perfectly in #101 and stops working with #102 onwards.
With the last #0105 build, I experienced a kernel traceback early this morning:

http://sprunge.us/eCgP

System would have been idle.

There is nothing in kodi.log to suggest a problem, although the kodi.bin process is now unresponsive (aka dead).

I'm guessing that the "do_coredump" in kernel log might suggest that kodi crashed first and generating the coredump file then failed?
Is there any partial crashlog?
Ah yes.... I've still got a kodi.bin process in memory (doing nothing) so it looks like it somehow became "stuck" while generating the core dump.
Code:
rpi512:~ # ls -la .cache/cores/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root          4096 Jan  6 01:46 .
drwxr-xr-x    8 root     root          4096 Jan  1  1970 ..
-rw-------    1 root     root             0 Jan  6 01:46 core.!usr!lib!kodi!kodi.bin.1420508815.422

No crashlog, as it didn't get that far.

Will reboot and see if it happens again, hopefully just a one-off...

Yes, also running fine over here. Thank you very much!

Another issue: I've upgraded from #0101 to #0105, now I can't see the OSD during playback anymore, including the volume bar. That's the case for both omxplayer and dvdplayer. I remember with one of the builds (#0102?) there were some fixes for dirty regions in fullscreen. Could that be the reason? Or is it by intention?
regards

Yes dirty region is the reason (I see the same problem). It's not intentional and there will be another commit in tonights build which may fix it. It's a bit of a work in progress. Smile
