[RPi: 3D > Monoscopic] Scaling problems

[tomekpur]

When a 3D (SBS) video (mkv) is played and the monoscopic rendering is chosen, the image merely gets chopped in half and centered.

I've tried the following changes to narrow the diagnosis:

• Clean Xbian install: same result.
• New HDMI cable: same result.
• Different screen: same result.
• Clean OpenELEC install: normally scaled video image.

This last thing would mean it's an Xbian issue, instead of an XBMC (AFAIK).

Running on a 512MB RPi, Xbian 1.0 RC2, XBMC Gotham 13.1 build 10 jun 2014.

@Trupke

install any FW from STAGING. for instance http://xbian.brantje.com/pool/staging/main/x/xbian-package-firmware/xbian-package-firmware_1.5.2_armhf.deb

How would i do this? Installing with dpkg gives an error 'would break xbian-package-kernel'

[mk01]

uncomment (or add) into sources (/etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbian.conf

when staging will be available, use apt-get

apt-get update
apt-get install xbian-package-firmware=1.5.2

Thanks. Since I'm a bit busy atm I'll do this at the end of the weekend. Will get back once I've got results.
[Update:8-11] Still busy :( Will get back asap!

As pointed out by popcornmix in raspberrypi/firmware#309, if OpenELEC (or RaspBMC) works but XBian doesn't, it's something fixed/implemented in his branches (gotham_rbp_backports/newclock3).

Follow mk01's instructions to enable the "staging" repository, and then
apt-get install xbian-package-xbmc-alsa

It's worth trying to update the firmware, although I'm quite sure it won't solve your issue.
