I went back to a previous version (February 28), long press-scrolling through lists is working fine there.

Yes the long press/repeat issues are due to the libinput changes introduced in #0302 - stick on #0301 until we've worked out a fix.

Different crash this time - now it's the Python interpreter. I'd hazard a guess this might have something to do with it:

Code:

22:50:17.520 T:1810690944 WARNING: CAddonSettings[script.xbmcbackup]: cannot reference setting (relative index: -8; absolute index: -1) in another category in old setting condition "eq(-8,3)" for "remove_auth_button"

Looks like the Settings refactor is still causing headaches. Maybe contact the script.xbmcbackup add-on author/maintainer. Or just disable or uninstall it, as it's not a useful add-on in LE.

Hi,

A while ago i mentioned about lots of ActiveAE - large audio sync errors when using MMAL, just wanted to give an update as of #0304..
I seem to see this error more and more with recent builds, but no such problems when using OMX, its also happening with all video files and pvr.
Hopefully its something that can be sorted over time, as i do now prefer MMAL as a player..

Also one thing ive noticed with omx, when changing a live tv channel from bbc1 to bbc2, kodi will still think its playing bbc1, if I then switch to another channel from BBC2 to ITV kodi will crash. No problems if i physically stop the current channel before starting to next one, only happens if i switch while watching a channel...

Kind Regards

Bucky...

First of all: Extremely impressive job by you @Milhouse  and all others involved. Been following the thread for some time and tried a couple of builds some months ago mainly for LiveTV/PVR. Reverted then due to some irritating issues that i think now are solved.

Are we still in alpha state here or are we in beta? Since the first build came 15 months ago, is there a date set for leaving alpha/beta state and build a general and official release?

The core component of these build is kodi, so alpha/beta/release status will be related to kodi. Kodi has just gone into alpha state (from pre-alpha): https://kodi.tv/article/kodi-v18-leia-alpha-1
As kodi gets to beta and RC/release state you may expect these builds to get more stable as changes to kodi are more focused on bug fixes rather than new features and restructuring.
 But as these are nightly builds, they are not designed for sticking with a single version and using it in the long term. Users should update regularly and if there are issues be willing to submit bug reports to get the issues resolved.
This is what helps the stable releases of kodi/LibreELEC to be as bug free as possible.

 I've seen the same crash on the last few builds. Various media types. Doesn't happen every time.
From your crashlog
Always in the same place in libstc++ - std:tring:wap.

Thread 1 (Thread 0x35dd7380 (LWP 900)):#0 0x74fe6e14 in std:tring:wap(std:tring&) () from /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6

Anyone else seeing this?
Something is munging double colons...

@popcornmix - sorry, I hadn't have the time yet to pinpoint the build on which the PVR zapping behavior changed (the thing with seeing a still frame of the previous channel after the screen had already turned black for the new channel). But I noticed the other day (yes, I'm not watching much TV) that this is only happening when I switch between SD channels. It doesn't happen when switching from SD > HD, HD > HD or HD > SD, so only for SD > SD. Not sure if this is giving any pointers (maybe a HW deinterlacer is still having a stillframe in its buffer etc).

edit: btw, this has absolute no priority or anything as it's absolutely no show stopper. I was just mentioning in case it might give an idea where to maybe start looking.

[popcornmix]

@da-anda what format are the SD and HD channels? Are SD MPEG-2 and software decoded and HD H.264 and HW decoded? Or are they all the same?

[meccs]

Just to understand this right: the Kodi v18 Alpha (meaning in this case the LibreELEC Alpha 1) is based on #0303 and #0304 and later version will be alpha2? I am just asking because I noticed the change of the master.

[Milhouse]

Kodi 18.0 alpha1 has been tagged so master is now open for 18.0 alpha2 changes - this is now what we're working towards.
