[TESTING] Kodi 17 (Krypton) builds for Raspberry Pi (continued)

Testing

I’ll do some digging. I’ve noticed I’m getting the same error:

07:33:15 2156575.750000 T:1958600704 ERROR: CSettingString: error reading the default value of "services.de
07:33:15 2156575.750000 T:1958600704 WARNING: CSettingGroup: unable to read setting “services.devicename”

@sam_nazarko Something to do with this patch maybe?

617

I’ll take a look at this shortly.

618

I tried to delete that comment sorry, It works now

619

Thanks for pointing out that commit.
It seems the problem is indeed the empty default value for the devicename in the settings.xml. If I change that I don’t get the error message anymore and the devicename will then be correctly set to the hostname specified in /etc/hostname.

620

It’s probably a timing issue in CApplication::Create() that now makes this a problem.

622

Its at the bottom of the first post:

sudo apt-get install rbp2-mediacenter-osmc=16.8-160

623

i suggest you really take the time and read the opening post, next time you install a nightly build.

624

If you rename the .kodi folder to .kodi.bak does the problem still persist?

16.8-163, 06 Oct 2016: Based off OSMC commit (eaf4159c30) and newclock5 (61bcde17)

OSMC:
update BTPlayer patches (eaf4159c3)

Hello,

today I have upgraded from build 161 to build 164. Since then my external Harddrives are invisible in OSMC.

After trys to reconnect (plugout and plugin; restart), I begun to downgrade to 163… same problem again, then 162… and I was happy to see my external drives again :slight_smile:

I don’t know the problems in 163 and 164 but my External Harddrives were definitely not visible in the Files Section of OSMC.

627

Can someone check if “Use limited color range (16-235)” option is available in System → Display?

Renaming .kodi.bak solves the sad face loop

Is tvheadend still broken on latest update?

629

for me Tvheadend live TV has problem now with deinterlacing.
When on frame rate is something like 15.

EDIT : I did reply to the wrong post :expressionless:

630

Could be related to this? There is a fix in the next build.

16.8-164, 07 Oct 2016: Based off OSMC commit (eaf4159c30) and newclock5 (61bcde17)

XBMC:
[cmake] Fix always outdated targets (PR:10614, 2 commits, 2 files changed)
[doxygen] add support to show function with version change text (PR:10621, 1 commit, 3 files changed)
Create italian.xml (#10545) (dd13b734)

632

sadly, no change regarding jerky frame rate with deinsterlacing on (at least on my system) on 16.8-164

This? Don’t think it’s a showstopper, but might be introduced by BTPlayer. Will ping @gezb. Your log doesn’t seem to have debug logging on, so can’t see the real issue. Can you enable debug logging and move ~/.kodi to a backup folder? I have an inkling some add-on or skin is not Krypton ready yet and is giving us some grief.

Andrew – to get debugging on without user settings (lost if you move .kodi), you can change /usr/bin/mediacenter and pass --debug to argv

638

Yeah i’ve just done that and tried again - i think i jumped the gun a little early and traced back a little. Renaming the folder certainly helps. Still sad faces but then refreshes to the dashboard like normal.

Hah! You’ve just beaten me to the debug question - thanks :slight_smile:

I’ll add that to future logging and see how it goes.

To be fair it’s been VERY stable for me recently so no complaining. Just want to try and help iron out any bugs that surface.

Thanks for the prompt reply sam
