RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - doveman2 - 2014-02-04 (2014-02-04, 15:08)popcornmix Wrote: I think you have to be patient. These are experimental test builds. I wouldn't advise installing them on someone else's system. I've always used these builds for the RPi I built and setup for my brother and he's benefited from and appreciated a lot of the improvements that have been made already, which he wouldn't have got from the stable, at least not for a long time. I imagine that selecting omxplayer/dvdplayer could to some extent be done by file extension (i.e. VOB files are always going to be DVD/MPEG-2) but for extensions where they doesn't work and which could contain h.264 or mpeg-4 or divx, then I think that mediainfo or similar could be used to extract the details of the file before deciding which player to use. I'll try setting dvdplayer as default for now though and see if that causes any problems with the files my brother typically uses (he doesn't use Blu-Ray at all, other than a couple of .mkv rips I gave him and mostly only rips his DVD's and downloads SD files from iPlayer and other sources, as he's only running composite to a CRT TV).

I don't think omxplayer is usable with gpu_mem=100. We now keep more buffers on GPU rather than ARM and gpu_mem=128 is the minimum recommended (even with omxplayer). RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - rbej - 2014-02-04 I use gpu_mem=100 on latest Gotham build(with latest clock3 patches) and omxplayer works perfect with any 1080p mkv files. RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - xbs08 - 2014-02-04 Is there a way to track GPU memory usage?

Wow, on the 21th you still suggested minium of 256...

For testing dvdplayer. omxplayer has always been okay with 128M. In latest build dvdplayer will probably work with 128M. Whatever number suggested can probably be exceeded if you tried. E.g. playing killa.mkv with 12 1080p reference frames, and then returning to menu whilst it's playing and browsing your movies in a wall view... RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - ijsbeer79 - 2014-02-04 Good reason for an option to disable playing if you are returning to the menu RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - tfouto - 2014-02-04 is there any benefits on those test builds with lip sync issues, comparing to official builds?

Changes between releases are available at the "changelog" links included with each release. Any additional patches that are included (or excluded) but which are not part of newclock3 will be mentioned in the list of "modifications". Links to all of the commits and patches in each build are usually present in every release post.

For live TV with packet loss, then yes, using dvdplayer in a new build could be better. For normal file based playback I'm not aware of any lip sync issues. RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - Mafarricos - 2014-02-04 Just confirmed on my rpi, on OpenELEC-RPi.arm-devel-20140204085709-r17625-g6396b1d version, the manual search for subtitles isn't working. On the version from 2014-01-30, worked, will confirm if this one is the only not working or if the other versions of february also dont work. None of february releases till now work with manual search in subtitles... RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - tija - 2014-02-04 Great work guys but just for your information with DVDPlayer enabled boblight with boblight-dispmanx is not working anymore.

I'm actually pretty familiar with Linux, but didn't have an update folder on my system and didn't know what the path should be. Running the storage partition off a USB stick, so maybe that has something to do with it |
