nah... I clean the cache in a script on machines that I will maintain remotely, that's one less cause for full partitions... I was a bit on autopilot, so the script came in early, before production stage..

Cool, a fix! Yay!

Just pushed the fix. Will be in tomorrow's ppa.

The audio issue is still in the latest nightly. Kodi logs continuously:

Reverting to nightly from 2 days ago resolves the issue.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks - you spotted another issue :-)

For the time being, start kodi with AE_SINK=ALSA kodi

**fritsch** · 2017-12-13, 11:38

Ouh that shows another issue :-( - does it work if you start it with: AE_SINK=ALSA kodi ? (latest version again please).

Stanislav · 2017-12-13, 11:52

Yes it works, except that audio out changed to HDA Intel again (this also happened a few days ago). I changed it back to USB DAC and it is fine now.

So now my .config/openbox/autostart looks like this:

OUTPUT=`xrandr -display :0 -q | sed '/ connected/!d;s/ .*//;q'`
xrandr -display :0 --output $OUTPUT --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full"
xrandr -display :0 --output $OUTPUT --set "Broadcast RGB" "Video 16:235 pass-through"
xsetroot #000000
xset -dpms
devmon &
AE_SINK=alsa MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD_=131072 /usr/bin/kodi --standalone
while [ $? -ne 0 ]; do
AE_SINK=alsa MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD_=131072 /usr/bin/kodi --standalone
done
openbox --exit

**fritsch** · 2017-12-13, 12:12

Yeah ... needs a more intrusive fix in the code.

Also for me this change fixes the problem!

Should work correctly tomorrow without further changes.

At what time is that build happening? I'm impatient! :oP

**fritsch** · 2017-12-13, 21:13

Yeah - so work on that!

Playing resumed when I removed the Sync playback to display setting.

Back to 4K testing!

Test result: success!

Do you think there is any point checking with stock 4.13 kernel and the xorg edgers PPA (updated mesa and libdrm)?
I probably will at some point, as I would really prefer to run a kernel that is getting updates through the normal mechanisms, if I can help it... But heh, it's also an appliance, it's not that exposed.

I will also check a mainline 4.13 kernel, it may be a problem introduced by an Ubuntu patch, and then it could be possible to get a fix from the standard channels.
