No, its a sink for ActiveAE, and there's no ActiveAE in Frodo.

Your log seems to have many add-ons giving errors.
I'd try renaming the ~/.xbmc folder, and checking if things are stable with no add-ons or custom settings.
If it seems okay, then try adding custom settings. If that's okay then try adding add-ons, one at a time to see when the problem occurs.

@MilhouseVH, @miappa
I'd be interested in
https://github.com/popcornmix/xbmc/commit/59147a525f3171f280bf94842e92af1a9c6da8bb
being included in the next test builds.
It is for this issue (stutter in non-packed bitstream AVI files):
http://forum.stmlabs.com/showthread.php?tid=12535
It's possible the change could break other types of AVI files, so I'd like it to be tested.

@MilhouseVH, I think you're missing this patch for Gotham for airplay. https://github.com/samnazarko/xbmc/commit/bb18bbf979114a0ed47b8ff4b2809b1c9a16148f

Thanks, that patch seems to have got dropped off somewhere along the way (I've no iDevices here to test with, can you tell if it works?)
I've updated the original post with build #0103b which now includes the Airplay patch.
RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - qwertyuiop - 2014-01-03
I'll test ASAP, I only noticed because I was browsing my network with zeroconf browser and saw airplay still reported the old info with RAOP reporting the new info.
EDIT: Everything appears to be working fine.

thanks popcornmix works like a charm.
RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - xbs08 - 2014-01-03
Guys, I looked but couldn't find a definitive answer... and sorry if it is a dumb question.
Is it possible to run OE in RAID mode?
e.g. USB drives connected to USB powered hub OR remaining space on the SD card + USB drive.
TIA

no software support for raid

RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - spjonez - 2014-01-03
Is rbej not doing releases anymore? If not do MillhouseVH's builds include swap and the other tweaks he was using?

My builds don't include swap as they're not intended as augmented alternatives to stock release builds, they're purely to help test upcoming improvements that will hopefully appear in future stock releases. In other words, my builds are intended to help fix bugs or test patches that improve performance of existing functionality, not introduce new and unsupported features.
If you want swap in OpenELEC on R-Pi, I would suggest contacting the OpenELEC developers and see if they'll add Swap support to official builds. They most likely leave it disabled thinking that swap will kill your flash (SD/USB) storage.

@spjonez: I asked the OpenELEC guys about supporting swap on the R-Pi and it's now included in master (thanks @sraue), so this build (and all future builds) has official swap support, although It's not enabled by default - you need to:
Code:
cp /etc/swap.conf /storage/.config/swap.confCode:
SWAP_ENABLED="yes"If anyone is using my bcmstat.sh script to monitor their Pi, you may want to download the very latest version which (apart from being rewritten to be more efficient and accurate) now includes swap memory when calculating the memory statistics (you can exclude swap memory and just monitor "real" memory by passing the "s" parameter).
RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - doveman2 - 2014-01-04
I've been meaning to ask if the debug logging could be made less intrusive but maybe that's something I need to ask the OE devs?
It makes it a bit hard to leave it running when it sticks so much text on the screen and some of it isn't very useful anyway, such as the CPU % which we need to use top to monitor accurately and the fps when watching TV is meaningless anyway, showing around 7fps. Perhaps a simple D in the corner would be acceptable to show debug logging is enabled or maybe even that isn't necessary. If some people find the current readout useful, maybe there could be an option to have it on or off (or minimalistic).
Anyway, interested to hear what others think but if this is completely OT, please tell me to post it elsewhere

then enable swap by settingCode:cp /etc/swap.conf /storage/.config/swap.conf
and reboot. This will give you a 128MB swap file. There will be a short delay on the first boot while the swap file is created.Code:SWAP_ENABLED="yes"
sorry for the stupid question, but what is the swap good for? I know the RPi has limited RAM but at least the Model B with 512MB seemed to be sufficient for me as there was always enough space left.
Isn't swap memory on the SD Card also pretty slow in comparison to the dedicated RAM?
