Hi,

still having two issues with these builds:

1. On AC3 and DTS Passthrough there are still dropouts happening, every few minutes the sound goes away for a second and will return then.


2. When using yatse to browse the files of scanned folders, kodi restarts without any new lines in kodi.log / kodi crash log.

Browsing the tv shows or movies without accessing the files itself it works without issues. Browsing the files within kodi works as well. Just browsing the files in yatse leads to a crash.

The sources are system-mounted nfs folders - mounted via autostart.sh

It is useful if you can confirm if the same issue occur with last stable LibreELEC release, and if earlier nightly build worked correctly.

both are not the case on current libreelec stable and have been the case since at least build 120 or something - I had posted about the AC3 thing earlier too and someone else sad he had the same issue.

Hi.

For very long time (also back to KODI 17.x), there has been a problem, when resuming playback of DVD iso images and when using OMXplayer (MMAL is working OK).
Problem: When stopping a DVD iso movie, and resume playback again, the video is stalling on the resume time (no playback, but the play timer is counting up).
When resumeing after a reboot, the DVD iso is starting playback from time 00:00:00 (the beginning).

Here a log: KODI log

Hope someone can fix it. Thanks..

Best regards

@popcornmix Maybe this is an OMXplayer issue ?

Identifying the build where problems start is very helpful.

Have you already updated xorg-server to 1.20 RC3? I'm running 1.20 RC1 based on your commits this works fine but I only get a blank / black screen when I update to RC3.

It's unusual for there not to be a crashlog. Can you enable debug logging, reboot, have Yatse crash Kodi then after Kodi has restarted run "journalctl -a | pastebinit" and - just to humour me - "cat /storage/.kodi/temp/kodi_crash.log | pastebinit" the post the links.

Hello milhouse & popcornmix,

i have an older problem (since vers. 17.6 ) with buffer on playing a BluRay over the network.

smb => fritzbox7490 with 1GBit/s (power-mode)     => LAN to Netgear GS108 Power Switch => LAN to Pi3 : BR 50 Video and Audio is stuttering in br-Menue.
smb => fritzbox7490 with 100 MBit/s (green-mode) => LAN to Netgear GS108 Power Switch => LAN to Pi3 :  all is playing fine without any problems.

We have spoken about this problems, you have make some suggestions in cmd line like: 

boot=/dev/mmcblk0p1 disk=/dev/mmcblk0p2 quiet smsc95xx.turbo_mode=Y smsc95xx.packetsize=2560

... but there is also no improvment.

So i have to pull / regulate down to 100Mbits all my devices who are connected on this Powerswitch -  it's a pity. ;-) 

Is there any way to resolve that?

Thank You

[Milhouse]

This time there was something - don't know what was different

I've done a bit more testing on RPi3 B+ with 3D MVC files. After my recent Micro SD failure I disabled all additional settings on B+ including SD voltage and clocking chip setting and Turbo mode. All default.

Stuttering looks better. Still needs more time to evaluate. It's not obvious like it was on initial releases of Kodi with B+ support. Not too sure if there was some code change to address specific clocking requirement for B+ and MVC files. Very rare single frame skip within first second of the new complex panning scene. This could also be my TV motion processor. I will test this further.

Second issue is still there. Most of the time B+ will lock up repeating couple of frames with sound around and around within first half an hour of play of 3D MVC file. This is like a hardware lock. Network is down and I need to pull the plug to recover. I think this is specific issue to B+.

One more issue happening for a while now and probably related to recent builds rather than B+. During 3D MVC playback there are brighter flashes on right eye. It is a single frame and typically 3 to 10 times per movie. It is specific to a scene. I can rewind and play it again. It will always be in the same specific scene and time. It's like decoder error extracting 3D image. I tried to capture this in the picture but Kodi does not allow for frame by frame advancement and probability of hitting pause at the correct frame is very low. I can make a slow motion video if anybody wants to see the issue. It appears to be some colour range error. Looks like right eye gets a lot brighter with colours blown for a single frame. Very distracting.

I installed LE 8.2.4 on my new Raspberry 3b+ and made directly the update to the newest Build of LE 9
all fine except my own Add-On won't install because of missing os.libreelec.tv please help.

Does OSD show skips or drops increasing when you see this?

Could you add arm_freq=1200 to config.txt and report if that helps?
If not try adding over_voltage=2.

Can you provide a small sample (e.g. 1m long) of a part of the video that has this effect? Upload to a hosting site like dropbox or google drive.

os.libreelec.tv is not missing, Kodi just claims it is because Kodi doesn't understand the concept of built-in add-ons and only expects to find add-ons online even though the required add-on is already installed. Just ignore the missing dependency message.
