$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('cyberic', '')$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('dreamsforgotten', 'T')hanks again guys, took 11 hours but i finally compiled and installed

Is it running correctly? does it decode the streams you tried?


I haven't even tried yet after compiling and launching I had to go-to work I'll report on sound and video as soon as I get off.

About the playback, let's say I do have playback issues this is something remedied by Pacman and repos or rebuilding for eleven hours ?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pepedog', 'T')he patch name slightly changed, was 11.0.2 now 11.0.3
https://raw.github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv/master/packages/mediacenter/xbmc/patches/xbmc-11.0.3-321-texturepacker-hostflags-and-rework.patch
and possibly the md5

I've updated the PKGBUILD, thx for pointing it out. The patch is actually the same.

I think libplist is a depend, and missing

Some comments from my side of the fence:
1. The PKGBUILD in our git (aka the one the actually goes into the repos) is broken. Do you intend to pull request an update for that? Updating AUR packages we build is still a manual process, and one I do maybe a couple times a month.
2. Building the AUR version fails in configure on finding libcec.
3. All official packages are built using the clean chroot method (starting from a bare filesystem (base/base-devel) and running under the user nobody). This means it's absolutely imperative that your depends and makedepends are correct. It also means that any other system or environmental factors you have introduced locally will not be present when we build. If you are not running builds destined for the repositories in this manner, please begin doing so.
4. If the XBMC git is changing too rapidly versus the position you're working at and introducing breakages, you should consider adding a checkout to a specific SHA so that everyone is on the same page.

It's obvious that the community wants the best performance out of this package, and I don't have the time necessary to babysit and fix issues primarily spawning from failure to follow #3. Within the build system I'm able to crank out xbmc in around 20 minutes. I get notifications for pull requests, and if the request is good it takes only a few more minutes to get the changes into the build system. Make good packages, use this to your advantage.

libplist is in the dependencies...?

Once I have confirmation that the latest AUR version actually works, I will make a pull request.

libcec-rpi from the "alarm" repo is in the dependencies, so that seems very weird!

The current issues is primarily caused by the switch from one branch to another, which represent a very big change, which naturally also requires some PKGBUILD changes...

Turns out the problem is that xbmc now requires libcec 2.0 which has just been released. I'll update it and make a pull request, perhaps later today. If dependencies etc. generally switch this fast, locking on to a certain "git hash" as you suggested might be necessary.

Hi! I'm assuming that the xbmc build on the repos uses the same pkgbuild as this one, created by tgc; am I right?
Since the last update I have a odd problem.. My resolution can not be set to 1080p, or even 1080i, the image goes a lot out of screen.. its like it's been doubled. 720p works fine.
What can this be? libcec2 is still not working on my lg too..

best regards!


edit:

The resolution is solved.. had to manually video calibrate in xbmc (system>video output>video calibration).. in the old build didn't had to do this, it's strange but it's working now..

About libcec2.. can't get it to work.. xbmc doesn't work with the 1.9 version, so downgrading is not an option. For now I returned to rpi-cecd that kind of solves the problem for now. If someone has any idea to get this back to work would be great.

with libcec it looks like it does work but it need a reload...

Had a similar problem - libcec not working. Basically, I have to go to System... Input and reset libcec parameters to default. After this libcec works fine. I have to do it every single time I start xbmc.

To me, it looks like xbmc loads wrong libcec driver. Forcing libcec to reload (via reset parameters), xbmc loads the correct driver and this starts to work.

Tks for the trick with libcec!
Unfortunatly I thought the resolution thing was solved but it isn't.. the menus are well sized now, but when I play some video file the image still gets uge and it goes off the screen :S

any ideas? am I the only one having this?

best regards

edit:

Sorry for all this posts.. it seems that while playing a video there is also a video calibration option in the menu, just had to adjust that to get it right... don't know why the system settings isn't enought to calibrate menus+video, and this has to be done individually.. don't know why this is not working by default either as it used to be.

tks!
