OpenELEC Testbuilds for RaspberryPi Part 2
I've been downgrading and I'm now at build 20140228213243-r17825-g1744311 and it hasn't this problem (I skipped r17847 and r17866, I'm sorry)

You are definitely using Milhouse's latest build. (which fixed for me an issue exactly like the one you describe).

Yes, I ran some pretty thorough tests with all the builds from the last couple of weeks and that is when the issue started.

As for latest build:
Code:

I believe that is the right info for the latest build. I use the 'openelec dev update' add-on set to Milhouses builds, so unless there is an issue with the add-on or the server it is connecting to...

Timeout problem?

I don't know how exactly XBMC is resolving hostnames to IP addresses to MAC addresses, but if the client "Mini" isn't visible on the network then it seems unlikely that the Pi or XBMC will be able to determine the MAC address which it needs for the wakeonlan.xml file. I would suggest posting in the general section about this (the discussion thread is here) unless you are certain it's a Pi/OpenELEC issue (can you reproduce with stock OpenELEC 4.0 Beta?)

My guess is that you need all your remote servers switched on and connected to your network when you first enable this feature, otherwise it will fail to find the MAC address of any server that is not active on the network.

# lsb_release
OpenELEC (Milhouse) - Version: devel-20140312020133-r17896-g10b90c5

Based on tip of XBMC master (4d04fc3, changelog) and tip of OpenELEC master (10b90c5, changelog) with the following modifications:
  • Includes newclock3 commits (except for 3643406 which I've replaced with a static spinner to avoid hammering the GUI)
  • Includes kernel 3.13.y-next commits (see below for details on enabling FIQ_FSM patch)
  • Excludes the OpenELEC fernetmenta patches (due to conflict with newclock3)
  • Default setting for "Show RSS Feed" changed to disabled
  • Disabled "Total Duration" in Confluence (see build #0221 for details)
  • ALSA is enabled and any suitable hardware should be available in XBMC Audio Settings
Build Highlights:
  1. OpenELEC:
    • Updated WLAN firmware
  2. XBMC:
    • Speedup FileItem::IsSamePath (first fruits of database performance enhancements)
    • Album Information on a folder in files mode wasn't working. fixes #14874
    • Various PVR, paplayer and flac/wav codec updates
  3. newclock3:
    • [dvdplayer] Use inexact seeking like omxplayer
    • [omxcodec] More care with dropping frames quickly
    • Memphiz iOS7 Airplay fixes resulting from this post - not guaranteed to work, purely experimental, but hopefully a step in the right direction.

Additional Testing Notes:
  1. Testers should try adding the following entry to their advancedsettings.xml:
    Code:
    <advancedsettings>
      <video>
        <defaultplayer>dvdplayer</defaultplayer>
        <defaultdvdplayer>dvdplayer</defaultdvdplayer>
      </video>
    </advancedsettings>
    and report if it is better/worse than omxplayer. You can still play files with omxplayer using the context-menu "Play using... OMXPlayer".

  2. The following settings are no longer required in config.txt and should be removed:
    Code:
    no_hdmi_resample=1
    hdmi_stream_channels=1
    no_resample_audio is now a default, and hdmi_stream_channels is switched based on audio content. For the time being when using passthrough, 2.0 speaker layout should continue to be used (you will still get 5.1 with AC3/DTS).

  3. The FIQ_FSM patch is now enabled by default in OpenELEC master. See the FIQ_FSM announce thread for details.

    One new feature, currently disabled by default, is accelerated support of high-speed isochronous transactions (webcams, real time devices, etc.). There's a possibility this could be used by ALSA or DVB modules (although not always) which may affect some users (hopefully for the better). If you might benefit from this, enable by adding the following option to the end of the line in your /flash/cmdline.txt file:
    Code:
    dwc_otg.fiq_fsm_mask=0x7

PC and PI is on when i enable the option in the menu, i have test this with 2 PCs.

When i manual add "wakeonlan.xml", i think xbmc ignore the file.
When i test this with XBMC WOL addon, it running but only on pi starting.

I test today add Sources with IP(not hostname).
Why are you adding it manually?
Don´t add it manually, enable the internal settings in XBMC and the file will be generated correctly (you can then edit it if you want).
Settings -> System -> Power saving -> Try to wake remote servers on access
I use this on 4 different platforms and it works quite well, even if the lookup adds a device that is not supported it will still work on all devices that does (with an error for the not working device).

Milhouse can you confirm that this latest build includes this commit? It's the most recent commit in your changelog.

This is supposed to fix ticket 14776 but I found that, after installing this build, my RPi Config add-on still wouldn't launch via a Confluence shortcut.

I'll probably just wait and test it again with your next build.

With the 10th March build rebooting the Pi from XBMC turns off the TV. Are there any CEC changes in the latest firmware that could cause this? It's never happened before.

Can you confirm this issue is new (from about 1st March / small audio packet concatenation patch)?
You are definitely using Milhouse's latest build. (which fixed for me an issue exactly like the one you describe).
I'm unable to test using dvdplayer due to dvdplayer not really working over here (256mb rpi) but for me omxplayer also has this short 'sound burst' at the beginning of playback.
It's not really doing any harm right now (really just a few ms of distortion/white noise) but it definitely is there and it also occurs on nearly all files I play.
Not talking about mp3 here but about regular mkv-files containing series and stuff.

€DIT: this definitely started occuring somewhere around the audio patch.
I would say about 1st of March should be where it started as I remember thinking that this could be related to the newest audio changes.
This issue did not start occuring somewhere in between, so I think it is related to the packet concatenation.


I've just confirmed that the issue still stands on the newest release from Milhouse:

I've played another two episodes before this one but their mediainfo equals the one above.

Regards


€DIT2:
Just did a fresh boot (wanted to enable debugging). Started the file above and only heard a short 'beep' (low pitched) instead of white noise.
Second start of the same file resulted in white noise then. There seems to be some connection to previously played files - but something also happens if the device has been freshly powered up and nothing was played before...

I've uploaded the section where the playback starts:

Github says it is included so it should be there, best commenting on PR4371 or trac if not working.

Not that I'm aware of - still the same with 12March build? OpenELEC changed the way rebooting and power off is handled in the 10 March build, can you reproduce with stock master built after 10 March?

I'm not aware of anything changing, although I believe this is the expected behaviour if not disabled in settings/system/input/peripherals/CEC.
(2014-03-10, 14:42)RichG Wrote: I've found another strange issue with OMXPlayer - again with current build. Don't have time to right now to check which build this issue began, but can do later.

Zooming (I have remote keys to zoom in and out) does not zoom the image but only changes the framing (ie black line of the border). So zooming in (zoom amount decreasing) brings the frame inwards but doesn't change the video so the view gets smaller and shows less of the actual video. Conversely zooming out (zoom amount increasing) the frame moves outwards but the video does not change - when the frame size reaches beyond the screen the zooming effectively is doing nothing).

This is the same with all codecs I tried (XVID, H264, MP4).

DVDplayer does not show this behaviour and zooms as expected.

BTW I've disabled FIQ_FSM and so far no lock up issues after an hour or two of playing video.

Hi,,

With this build the "full screen zoom problem" is gone!!!
All 3D Movies has the correct black bars and the picture ist 16:9!!!!

Thx Millhouse/Popcornmix, great Job Wink

Is a firewall running on host '192.168.0.12'? If so, you can test if that is the problem by temporarily turning it off. If it works with the firewall disabled, the fix would be in the firewall configuration.

Never mind. I guess you added your comment about the firewall at the same instant I was posting.
