[old] Unofficial semi-nightly build FAQ/info/issues (here for archival purposes)

At this point I would like to state that:
ALL AUDIO ISSUES WILL BE IGNORED AND DELETED WITHOUT QUESTION.

I've had AC3/DTS the entire time. Always. So I know it does work.

Never once had a problem.
JVC RX-D412B hooked into a Panasonic Plasma. 5.1 sound.
ATV2 going through the receiver. HDMI the whole way.
Lucky me, I know.

But basically no time will most likely be put into fixing audio now, because AudioEngine will just replace all of that and need to be refixed, etc.

And guys, I am ok with people posting solutions to problems (thanks itsalltrash for detailed instructions, morjo and bam099) but how many times do I have to tell everyone else not to post issues without debug logs?

DN38416, don't ever post statements like that, especially in this thread. If you seriously believe this, ask outside of my thread please. Your post has been removed.

retiariu, do not mention issues without xbmc.log link. ever. Deleted. Especially refrain from me too posts.

rodan, same to you. Deleted.

Guys, I do encourage others to help each other but try to refrain from helping anyone who does a 'me too' post and/or doesn't post a debug log.

Once AudioEngine is merged and full testing has been met, I will open the floor to audio problems. But deleting 5-10 posts a day isn't fun, for me or especially for people following along who have to read the same issues over and over.

I had to do it before with plugins and now I'm doing it with Audio. If this build works for you, great. If audio doesn't work, please revert back to an old build or wait until AudioEngine gets merged.

We will *not* be supporting any old builds tho, so you're on your own as far as what build to use. Please take discussion like this in a new thread in the xbmc-ios sub-forum and NOT HERE.

If you want personalized help, please join the irc channel.
#xbmc-ios on freenode.

For the dudes on IRC, thanks for the constant feedback/help/support and people like procrastinator and jd2157. You rock!

I hope to have another build out this wk, but might not be until the weekend depending on how moving goes.
Tt will not have AE in it. That ETA is unknown.

In the first post you do mention to report audio issues:

keith Wrote:STUFF TO TEST:

• Audio - We've had a fair amount of problems with downsampling, DTS audio, etc. Please share your experiences with this build. If you have a problem, be sure to say exactly what youre connected too, what is enabled (DTS/AC3) and what you're outputting the audio to (2 channel? 5.1? 7.1?)
  

Just to be clear, is my post elligible for deletion or will it be from now on? I did post all the required info (log/mediainfo/sample/connection info). Perhaps the first post should be changed in this regard.

Keith I hope this post will be ok.

AppleTV2 (4.3.1) JB with Seas0nPass
Latest nightly from 01/04

I am having 2 issues, 1 with Audio same as all the posts above.
Basically sound does not work correctly through Optical.
.avi sound seems to play normally, but .mkv has a static sound.
Only way to get around it is by disabling AC3/DTS.

2nd issue is that since 01/04 I am having .mkv's randomly crashing XMBC to the Apple menu after about 10 seconds. This is affecting multiple .mkv's

See logs attached: Let me know if you need me to attach any specific log.
Attached are SysLog and XBMC log.
SysLog: http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=ZS1wn5Ga
XBMC log: http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=VdD0eGKp

Hope this is correct.

Your post was actually awesome, thank you for reporting correctly, I apologize for originally putting you on the list.
And updated the 1st post to reflect my last post as well.

But basically no time will most likely be put into fixing audio now, because AudioEngine will just replace all of that and need to be refixed, etc.

I'll leave it since you posted both syslog and xbmc, but this is the last post like this everyone, no more ac3/dts on 4.3 issues, the devs know about it for sure.

Any update on official release date for this version?

IS SMB working on 4.3.1 with Unofficial semi-nightly build ?

Thanks

Anyone familiar with Web Interface not being complete?
TV Series is missing from the menu ... previous (unofficial) releases had the TV series
Settings menu item was always missing.

Keith, its not so much about the audio but more about my other issue when the .mkv's keep dropping the ATV back to the Apple Menu.

I think the dropping issue is just something we'll have to deal with for a while. I'm looking to find a way to go back to the previous firmware in the meantime until the new firmware is more stable.

Yes, SMB is working properly in the latest build: April 1, 2011.
