Latest Kodi update didn't fix the issue. |
|
Issue still exists. |
|
No one is working on this issue. You are informed if that changes. |
|
Still exists under 18.5. Dragging on and on.... |
|
Wish someone could just copy the code from MrMC :( It's so annoying having to rewind every video because i get no video for the first 4-6 seconds. |
|
I guess none of the devs involved have a NVIDIA Shield TV ;-) |
|
Can someone pls. attach a new kodi log file, or update the one from initial post? Thx! Edit: and, if possible, do the same with a amazon fireTV stick. Interesting would be how it behaves (differnt / same) and a debug kodi log, too |
Original post updated. I don't own a firetv. |
|
We are currently fiddleing out things internally and have different approaches. Sadly I current don't get logfiles from Shield. Could you backup your kodi files and produce a debuglog with: http://mirrors.kodi.tv/test-builds/android/arm64-v8a/kodi-20191126-d134baf1-androidtimer-arm64-v8a.apk Try different delays: e.g. 5, 10, 15. |
Can confirm that the wait feature is working now. I tried the same file around 7-8 times with different wait times and all of them worked fine. However, one time, I did experience a Shield crash (system reboot) when I tried playing the same file with delay of 7 seconds. The file played fine after Shield rebooted. Everything should have been captured in the debug log: https://paste.kodi.tv/inemowasor Most of my addons etc weren't working though. Had to reset Kodi to default and then work up from there. And even then most addons just weren't working. (I'm sure you were already expecting this but just a heads up) |
|
Jep - you just upgraded to a v19 Alpha version. From the log I see that the code works like I intended it. Though - there is an additional bug on the shield that needs special care. Thanks very much for testing. |
No problem. Happy to help. Should I move back to the older version or will you be sharing a new version to try out? |
|
Basically I wanted to see what works and what not. I see that Mediacodec Decoder is created while we are waiting. This thingy under the hood accesses / creates a Surface, while display is not properly configured. This is a problem for the Shield in certain Netflix scenarios. If you just want a "working version" - I can create you a preliminary version ontop of Leia, which - obviously won't make this code here merged. Thanks again for your debuglog. So - what do you want? (Language Barrier: I mean: I can provide you whatever you like best) |
Not sure if I understand :) If you can make a Leia version with this delay on playback code working, I would love to try it out! |
|
Will post it here later. It has "fritschfiretv" in name - don't be confused, it won't do anything unwanted on your setup - it's just the device I currently have. |
Both links appear to be dead. |
|
Mirror is refreshing. Give it 20 minutes. |
|
Good news that headway is being made on this big and thanks to all those involved - will this bugfix eventually roll into Kodi 18.6 - if there is going to be one? |
I believe that's the plan, yes. |
|
Fix is in master. Please test it, if it works for you - backport is possible. Testing can be done by installing a recent nightly. |
Would that be on Leia? |
|
No - but if it works (as said above) - backport possible |
|
I will create you a Leia build. As the fix included in above builds is not the one that was merged - give me some minutes. |
|
Result will end up here: http://mirrors.kodi.tv/test-builds/android/arm64-v8a/ and has "delay" in its name. |
|
Has the issue that you mentioned a couple of posts above been fixed? Cause the older build that you linked (5days ago) crashes sometimes on opening a media file. |
|
Reports with "crashes sometimes" and no debuglog is sadly worth absolutely nothing. Please check this version which contains the official fix: http://mirrors.kodi.tv/test-builds/android/arm64-v8a/kodi-20191201-f1894772-delay-arm64-v8a.apk If any further issue arrises, that does not happen with "normal" Leia, we cannot merge the backport and need you to verify with a master build. |
It seems to be working fine so far. If any issues arise, I'll post debug logs. |
|
Without kidding, please start a video for 50 times and turn on debug logging before. If that works 50 out of 50 times we can accept this fix into backport - else not. I don't have a shield, therefore I cannot test. |
I'll report back within 24 hours :) |
I was doing as you suggested. On my 7th out of 50th attempt at playing a file using the delay option, my Shield crashed. Debug logs: |
|
Do you still have the kodi.log.old file? The log you uploaded has no switch in it. |
I have emailed you a copy at fritsch@xbmc |
|
I have seen it. Please reproduce without plex, so that we can distinguish between different error cases. |
Tried without PlexKodiConnect addon. Crashed during second attempt. Kodi old.log |
|
@xinseo what is "Shield crashed" exactly? |
Shield gets stuck at "Loading" with the loading circle for ~10 seconds and then the shield device restarts. |
|
then we'll need to look into logcat: launche kodi, select to the stream you are testing Then try to crash kodi / shield and provide the logcat pls. |
I'll try and do this in a couple of days. Not sure how to adb into shield though lol |
I use adblink. |
After checking for more than a month (after a complete database reset), I've faced zero crashes. Think we can accept this fix. |
|
So this fix never got into 18.6? |
|
You mean backporting the one we did for matrix? |
|
If there is a PR releated to this issue can someone link it please |
|
I was not sure whether the fix that was done for xinseo (see above) ever made it into the main Kodi 18.x build stream and therefore into the 18.6 just released today. |
This fix works but I'm not sure if it made it into the main builds. |
|
The changelog shows the fix was baked in: |
|
That is great news. Thanks to all those that made this happen. |
Bug report
Describe the bug
I have the latest Shield TV update along with the latest Kodi nightly installed.
Hooked the Shield to a Denon ATMOS receiver and from there to a Samsung 4K TV.
The problem:
There is a delay of about 4 seconds when refresh rate is changed and the setting "Delay in Playback on refresh rate change" does not work whether I set it to 1 second or 8. The same setting works fine on MrMC. On Kodi, audio starts after like 0.5 seconds when i click on play, however, the screen stays black; as it is switching refresh rates.
Passthrough is ON and Refresh rate switching is ON.
Other people are facing this issue as well:
https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=342877
Expected Behavior
Here is a clear and concise description of what was expected to happen:
Media playback should be paused for the duration that I set while refresh rate switching occurs (it takes up to 4-5 seconds on my setup)
Actual Behavior
Media playback starts instantly without honoring the DELAY that I set.
Possible Fix
Delay the playback for the amount that the user sets.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Debuglog
