RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - spjonez - 2014-03-28 (2014-03-27, 01:44)MilhouseVH Wrote: OpenELEC will only load SYSTEM into RAM if there is at least 364MB of physical RAM available. 512 - 364 => 148, give or take a few megabytes, so set a maximum of 128 for GPU if you want SYSTEM loaded into RAM. The RAM storage will consume 115-120MB of physical RAM (a figure that is slowly but surely increasing), leaving you with approximately the same physical free RAM as a 256/256 split, and an imperceptible performance difference.Good to know. I tried 128 and didn't notice a performance difference with the OS loaded into RAM. Changed to 192 w/ noram as per your suggestion (all my *res settings are 720), more RAM for the system/artwork is always a good thing. Thanks!

Yes, but there is already a file cache for recently accessed files, and this file cache is more effective with more free RAM, so the difference may be small. But the only way to answer this is to try it. Measure boot up time. Measure time to navigate to a certain window. Measure time to open a certain display or add-on. Can you tell the difference? RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - Hypertown - 2014-03-28 First of all a big thanks to MilhouseVH and others for all the hard work. Very much appreciated! I just did an upgrade to the recent Milhouse-20140327012712-r18014-gfacbb1c from my previous build devel-20140116132027-r17009-gd6c28f3 from mid Januari. When playing 16bit flac files I noticed that they don't play gapless anymore. Between songs you can hear a slight plopping sound following by a very short hickup 2-3 seconds into the new song. The build from mid Jan played gapless flawlessly. I'm using HDMI. Any suggestions on what could be the cause? Are there any additional settings I need to change?

You don't need the <video>, <audio>, <lookandfeel> or <samba> sections. Your <audio> setting is going to screw up music playback. <lookandfeel> may cause problems with the GUI, or it may be harmlessly ignored. Most of your <network> settings could also go (several are no longer supported). See here for details. You're also setting a cache buffer size which is just a fraction of the default (2.6MB vs. 20MB). <bginfoloadermaxthreads> is no longer supported. "false" is already the default value for <destroywindowcontrols>. I would change your advancedsettings.xml to be the following: Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> as all the other settings you have are either garbage, already the default, or likely to cause problems by conflicting badly with the recommended system defaults. As for the crashing, is it always happening at the same point (GUI sound resampling)? Anything in dmesg or "journalctl --no-pager"?

And you're definitely using paplayer for music (not omxplayer)? I've absolutely no gapless playback problems with 16-bit FLAC files via HDMI. What are your current audio settings? RE: OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2 - Milhouse - 2014-03-29 New OpenELEC Gotham build: #0329 (Supercedes previous build) Code: # uname -a Based on tip of XBMC master (12d7827, changelog) and tip of OpenELEC master (45b1f5d, changelog) with the following modifications:

I have noticed the wifi dropping out since trying to test builds, but haven't had a ton of time to work on it. Build 323 worked fine for loading wifi after reboot, I skipped 325 and just noticed wifi not connecting on boot up on 327. See if build #0329 is any better - the change for the RTL8192CU driver has been reverted.

Kind of lost to see where the FW link is. There is no firmware link as the firmware is included in the tar file. The download link to the tar file is the first link in each release post. Drop the downloaded tar file in your Update folder and reboot to upgrade (assuming you're already using a Gotham-based OpenELEC build). |
