I've just tested this with #1018, streaming over SMB, using omxplayer, and it played fine.

My settings are:
  • Video OSD:
    • Deinterlace: Off
  • Settings > Video > Acceleration:
    • All video acceleration options enabled (so playing with omxplayer)
  • Settings > System > Video output:
    • Adjust display refresh rate to match video: Off
    • Sync playback to display: Disabled
    • Vertical blank sync: Always enabled
  • Settings > System > Audio output:
    • Audio: 2.1 audio over HDMI
    • Output configuration: Optimized
    • Stereo upmix: Disabled
    • Maintain original volume on downmix: Enabled
    • Resample quality: GPU accelerated
    • Keep audio device alive: 1 minute
    • Audio output latency: 100ms
    • Enable passthrough: Disabled

I'd suggest renaming .xbmc -> .xbmc.bak to see if the problem continues. If not, then it might be a setting or addon that is causing the problem. Add back your addons/settings until the problem returns.

Automatic commercial skip, which broke in the build that introduced newclock4, now works again.

It was not working in 1015. It is working in 1019. I did not test the interim builds.

Unfortunately build #1015 doesn’t work for me. Output from dmesg and lsmod is the same as the builds where wolfson support is included:

dmesg: http://sprunge.us/jQNC
lsmod: http://sprunge.us/TgHA

Output from dmesg and lsmod output from build #1006 (in case there are some clues that I’ve missed)

dmesg: http://sprunge.us/NQBG
lsmod: http://sprunge.us/DDPK


best regards
I have the same problem. Hifiberry DAC+, works in 4.2.1 except for the white noise issue but I've been unable to get it working in these builds.

dmesg/aplay -l/lsmod from 4.2.1 working: http://pastebin.com/XpVnAv0B
dmesg/aplay-l/lsmod from #1019 no audio from DAC: http://pastebin.com/rwVGvEGV

FWIW, I tried rmmod'ing the arizona stuff and reloading the hifiberry module but it was no different.
I've tried 1007 but not 1006, I can do if it'll help, or any other logs which might be useful

edit: 1006 audio works but white noise still present.

Good to hear. It will have been #1018 that fixed it

Thanks! I had not read the build description until this morning. I really appreciate your huge contribution making XBMC work so well on the Pi.

Thanks, Milhouse, for including the janbar commits (i.e. myth,pvr 1.9.23). I would not otherwise be able to test them.

Yes, your right ! With a clean install of Openelec, 1080i hdtv plays fine again. Thanks !

af and vf is now around 20% before they peaked at 100%

Can you explain exactly what the problem is? You say it's not "reliable" - does this mean it's working some of the time? What is the output of "aplay -l"? Is the Hifiberry visible to XBMC, or not? If it is, how is it not reliable?

Sorry for being unclear - what I meant was, that I've tested every build since #1006 (fingers crossed) to see whether my issue would disappear (which it hasn't) and that the digi would resume working as normal when I downgraded to #1006 again. So not really the digi being unreliable as much as me being able to get it to work again every time Smile

I included that bit to indicate that I don't think my issues are due to a shoddy soldering job (which btw wouldn't be unlikely - I'm an economist by trade and soldering the connector to the rpi was the first time I've soldered anything to anything).


(2014-10-18, 23:47)Milhouse Wrote: Just an idea, could you boot a #1006 system with the start.elf firmware from #1007 and see if it has any effect:

1. Copy #1007 tar to Update folder, boot into #1007
2. cp /flash/start.elf /storage
3. Copy #1006 tar to Update folder, boot into #1006
4. mount -o remount,rw /flash
5. cp /storage/start.elf /flash
6. mount -o remount,ro /flash
7. reboot
8. Confirm if Hifiberry hardware becomes "unreliable", or not.

I tried the above. Both my rpi and the digi works as normal when I boot into the 'hybrid'. But I'm not really sure what to do / test with this combination? And is it correct that the output from "uname -a" should still say that I'm running #1006, ie.:

Code:
OpenELEC:~ # uname -a
Linux OpenELEC 3.16.3 #1 PREEMPT Mon Oct 6 21:27:26 BST 2014 armv6l GNU/Linux

Anyways, output from dmesg & lsmod follows below:

dmesg: http://sprunge.us/DDIO
lsmod: http://sprunge.us/BCjU

Best regards

Can you provide the output of "aplay -l" when using the #1007 build (not the hybrid build) although I'm pretty sure you won't get anything output.

The fact the "hybrid" (#1006 with #1007 firmware) works suggests that it's not a firmware issue. What would be useful to know is whether the OS "sees" the hardware, hence the output of aplay.

The Wolfson commits have now been dropped from the 3.17.y kernel which should remove one more variable from the kernel that might explain the Hifiberry breakage. If the next build doesn't improve the situation you might need to contact Hifiberry for support as they may need to supply updates for the 3.17 kernel, or give some clues as to what kernel config options are required by their driver(s).

Sure:

Code:
OpenELEC:~ # aplay -l
aplay: device_list:268: no soundcards found...

But as you predicted: no useful output.

@ Milhouse

Thanks for your great build, I have just noticed that In the last build #019 the "tastature" is empty.
When I try to do for example a search , no letters can be seen only the left hand site with Done, IP, etc.
I have not added a log file but can do it if needed.

Cheers
Go to settings and manual set a keyboard layout. Fix is in next build

Did this file play better with an older xbmc version? If you can indicate when it broke it would help identify the problem.

Hi,
I also experience constant freezes in Live TV on tvheadend from version 0921. On 0920 work with no problems.

Hello,

Thanks, me too. Since the version from 18.10. I dont have any problem with live tv or recordings (wmcPlugin) Big Grin
FWIW, hifiberry doesn't work with #1020
