I'm suspecting the chapter/thumbnail patch is doing something nasty....

I think you're right - the first video I tested (and hence my reply to @doldi of "no problems") only had one chapter, and doesn't buffer.

A second video, with 6 chapters, is buffering with all the open/close messages (fd=10006).

I wonder if the video @doldi is trying to play has 9 chapters (hence "fd 10009")?

Or the fd and # of chapters may just be a coincidence.

@Milhouse might be worth dropping it tonight (unless you can confirm it before then)

I'll run up a quick build without it and let you know.

[Milhouse]

Groan... not getting the open/close problem over nfs://... looks to be smb:// specific.

[doldi]

I wonder if the video @doldi is trying to play has 9 chapters :

...the strukture from the *Eagles-hell freezes over* DTS5.1 DVD (many vob.files)

[Milhouse]

If you bring up the Info details during playback it should tell you how many chapters there are at the top left of the screen (in Confluence) - it should show "Chapter: #/##" whenever there is more than one chapter.

[doldi]

yes - absolutly correct - i see them all:
#/23 Chapter

[Milhouse]

I'm suspecting the chapter/thumbnail patch is doing something nasty....

Confirmed... with PR6415 reverted the repeated open/close behaviour is not present and there is no buffering over smb://.

I'll revert PR6415 in tonight's build.

Also, in #0302, with omxplayer disabled (so only dvdplayer enabled), playing the VIDEO_TS over smb will freeze as soon as the DVD menu appears (pressing Stop will end playback and return control of the GUI). Enabling omxplayer results in the menu playing fine.

In #0303, the video menu plays correctly with omxplayer enabled or disabled, so this seems to be another problem caused by PR6415.

[bifurcator]

The problems caused by PR6549 will be fixed in the next build.

That's great. Thanks for the quick response.

This version works on live TV on Rpi2 with ArgusTV. I have noticed however some new artifacts...

When a live TV channel is selected it tunes in and on top of screen information appears on the buffer filling up so far so good, the new artifact is that the buffer information seems then to cycle between say 99% and back down to say 15% and this repeats 3/4 times and finally goes translucent where it remains until a user action cancels the info. Live TV plays ok in background. The process repeats when tuning a different channel.

Recorded TV material smb over network does not have same buffer artifact. I have not yet tried stream an internet source.

[Milhouse]

A debug log might help.

[darzur]

Hi,

It looks like problem described in post #851 is still not solved after update to #303.

[menakite]

@darzur I believe it was actually a bug in OMXPlayer not handling the volume level correctly and that has been fixed in #0301.

[evanspae]

A debug log might help.

Only just back home some logs here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/31t8upajt9zw1...5Pfja?dl=0

[darzur]

Well,

This fix makes radio, music ad GUI ridiculously loud in comparison to videos. Loudness was much more even in builds before #301.
