Videoplayer issue since 17.0-ALPHA3

marriol123343 · July 12, 2016 at 8:44 PM

Im using LE on a RasberryPi3.

I saw that comming Something must have changed in the Videoplayer from Alpha 2 to 3. I don't know what it is, but I got the same problems when I tested milhouse builds over last month. In Alpha 2 there were no problems. Now since Update (as in milhouse biulds) I get annoying frame drops (first 30-50 seconds until it gets stable) when I start certain streams:

If you are interested you can reproduce it by using the SouthPark Addon from KodiRepo and RocketbeansTV Addon (/Twitch-Stream) from Kodinerds Repo, and you should see what I mean.

@mariol123343:

Noone will look into it without a logfile ;). As fritsch always said....no log, no issue

So please provide logfiles. As I guess noone will install any repo to reproduce it.

Just for my own interest, I installed the southpark add-on and tried. I don't get frame drops, but I don't have sound with it. So I would blame the addon itself for it. As other playback works fine for streaming addons (RedBullTV for example).

Yes, I know ... you run southpark episode on Libreelec 7.90.003 + Pi3 and video was smooth from beginning?

No, both addons work fine, it's something other what changed here from 7.90.002 to 7.90.003 (concerning these kind of streams?). And it is only about these two addons (streams) - all my other streaming work fine here.

Here is my log with both streams playing: 02:41:35 11.797727 T:1832907680 INFO: AddOnLog: Joystick Support: Initialize - Pastebin.com

The streams get smooth/stable after 30-60 seconds, so i dont care so much. But before .003 they run perfectly smooth from the start on (!?) This is why I post it...

you could confirm, if you switch back to 002 all works fine?

I know, in the first moment it sounds like an addon or network problem, but yes, .002 works fine 13:02:30 T:1641378720 DEBUG: UpdateAudioSystemStatus - no CEC capable amplifie - Pastebin.com - fluently from the start of playing the streams. So I suppose changes in Videoplayer cause the problem.

DaVu Would it be possible to give fritsch/milhouse/? (do not know the expert) a little nudge looking into this? If it is indivudial - fuck it, but IMHO could be a generell problem/failed development.
After all these streams get smooth after certain time, but as it worked better before .003 I'm unsure on myself. I'm only interested in best development concerning Videoplayer in this case.

Don't have a team contact for fritsch, but I will ping milhouse for this. Let's see what he says.
