Hi,

Im using build #0228 and my only fault is that sometimes the screen dims and doesnt come back properly. I need to either reboot for do something like change skin for it to brighten up again (hope that makes sense)

OpenELEC-RPi.arm-devel-20150228233837-#0228-g6c52ccc

I see there is a new build since then, should i update? Was there something broken in previous builds that this fixes? I was going to use copy this for some friends, wasnt sure if updating was essential or not.

Thanks

Does the screen dim as much as the screen saver does?

Or does it only dim just a little? As described here: link

I have been using OE 5.05 without issue in a multi-room Kodi on Pi setup with SQL server.

I tried #307 as my first dev build and found that it couldn't boot beyond the stationary Kodi logo.

The reason appears to be associated with the SQL login in my advancedsettings file. Removing the advancedsettings permitted it to boot without issue. Limiting the advancedsettings to just the SQL login caused it to hang again.

Are you sure it's not just taking a while to upgrade from v90 db schema to v91? I'm using MySQL without any issue, but the v91 upgrade can take a few minutes depending on the size of your library.

A debug log of your "hang" would provide more information.

I had the same Problem with language of the GUI as @Arabaldo mentioned before. As @Milhouse advised, deleting the guisettings.xml and rebooting fixed the language issue after reconfiguring confluence.

@Milhouse, see https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/6665

Don't know if it's going in today. If it doesn't, please include it in tonight's build.

[optics]

Yes. The database upgrade was the issue. After waiting for about 10min, it now appears to boot up without issue.

I just tested #0307b and i have the same issue. Hangs at kodi bootscreen.
Back to #0304 for now.

I want to disable HDMI-CEC because it keeps changing inputs on my AVR. This should be as straightforward as adding "hdmi_ignore_cec=1" to my config.txt file. But when I reboot, I get a black screen after the logo. Checking the logs, I see a number of entries like this:

18:39:26 100.309914 T:1885860928 ERROR: CecLogMessage - Open - vc_cec could not be initialised

This might be an issue for a short while, as the PVR addons have now been split out from xbmc-pvr-addons into individual repositories and now build differently, which is not yet fully supported by OpenELEC and is causing some breakage. The individual repositories are being updated while the old repository seems to be lagging behind, not sure what's going to happen to the old repository to be honest.

Those with PVR API issues, please test a new build:

#0307b: RPi / RPi2

This build is using the new kodi-pvr repositories for PVR addons.

I enabled PVR Demo, which worked, although it did require a restart of Kodi for the new PVR addon to take effect (ie. appear in the Home menu)

If this build is any good, I'll consider switching to it for future nightly builds.

pvr wmc does not work with #307b. Kodi updates the PVR side but the wmc plugin is not functioning.
wmc uses API 1.9.4

Thanks everyone for the great work.

I just tested #0307b and i have the same issue. Hangs at kodi bootscreen.
Back to #0304 for now.

Can't help without at least a debug log (wiki).

[Milhouse]

pvr wmc does not work with #307b. Kodi updates the PVR side but the wmc plugin is not functioning.
Looking at the changelog for wmc it looks to be using API 1.9.2

Thanks everyone for the great work.

Thanks to h.udo the next #0308 build (it's running a bit late, for various build-related reasons) should have the up-to-date 1.9.5 PVR clients. Hope to have it on the servers in an hour or so.

Edit: Updated with #0308b

[wrxtasy]

RPi2 Build #308, all the PVR Addons are missing. VDR XVDR Client shows up in Disabled and thats the only one.
Unable to test.

Build #307b, would not boot past Isengard Splash screen.

[Milhouse]

Ah crap, they were there for #0307b...

The "prepare for kodi-15" patch isn't enabling any addons... will see if I can upload a new build shortly.
