Playback issue w/12.1.6 release?
#1
Hi. I'm brand new to XBMC so I'm not sure what caused this but last night I installed openelec 3.0 on a new Intel NUC I'm using as an HTPC (the Celeron version) and I had it working just fine but this morning after I did a fresh install of the 3.0.1 release that came out just yesterday to update to XBMC 12.1.6, the first video I tried to play I immediately got a green screen and everything locked up. So I tried turning off the VAAPI hardware acceleration (not sure I really need that for integrated graphics on a Sandy Bridge anyway?) and this time it started to play for several seconds then playback froze and then jumped ahead to the next video in the list. I know I'm a newbie but I'm pretty sure I had all the settings the same as the night before when it was working so could this have anything to do with the 12.1.6 release itself? Or did I just screw up my settings somewhere?

I play my videos off an unraid server with that and the NUC both connected to the router via gigabit ethernet. If there's any other info I can provide to help track down the problem let me know. Thanks.

I presume this 3.0.1 is Openelec and 12.1.6 is V13 alpha3 which has a updated ffmpeg to v1.2 a PR which is currently undeway of getting improved.

see https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/2554 and http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=156303 for discussion.

Either way this is not openelec support forums, try https://github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv/issues or the openelec forums to report.

Thanks for the links. I can't access the openelec forums from work (old, unsupported browser) but I'll try tonight if I'm still having problems. It's just that their release announcement for 3.0.1 said that it was primarily to upgrade to XBMC 12.1.6 so I figured it was just as like an XBMC issue as with openelec. (Although probably more likely than either is that I just messed up the settings without realizing it.)

idk for sure whats going on with openelec code from xbmc side, most of it is heavily patched versions of xbmc iirc. I cant be sure what 12.1.6 is alpha3 or not but if it is it will have the ffmepg stuff I mentioned, so I though I would say it just in case.

12.1.6 is not alpha 3 but the pre-12.2 Frodo release that is currently in semi-public beta.

It says so in the changelog on this page: http://openelec.tv/news/22-releases/88-o...1-released

Quote:update to xbmc-12.1.6
(XBMC Frodo 12.1 with many bugfixes which will be released with the upcoming XBMC Frodo 12.2)

Well I don't know what it was but last night when I tried again my videos played just fine. (Actually there was some slight stuttering on 1080p content but that went away when I turned VAAPI hardware acceleration back on). So hopefully whatever caused the green screen freeze ups won't come back again but for now, issue resolved.
