01:41 balrog kernel: fec 2188000.ethernet eth0: MDIO read timeout
01:41 balrog getting this on a cubox i4pro
01:41 balrog any idea what could be happening here?
01:41 balrog after this, network drops out completely and doesn't come back
02:38 balrog__ fec 2188000.ethernet eth0: MDIO read timeout
02:38 balrog__ there we go again
02:38 balrog__ rabeeh_: maybe I have bad hardware? :(
02:52 forest Can the CuBox-i output 1080p video at exactly 23.976 fps (not 24 fps)?
02:54 mk01 forest: no
02:54 forest Drat.
02:55 forest I suppose that's an i.MX6 limitation?
02:59 mk01 forest: yes, currently seems so
03:00 forest Hm... that doesn't sound final. Do you mean that it's not a known hardware limitation, and there's still a possibility of getting 23.976 working in the future?
03:05 mk01 forest: I just don't want to sound FINAL as sometimes people do miracles
03:05 mk01 but
03:06 mk01 currently
03:06 mk01 (as FSL designed the drivers and hdmi magic)
03:07 mk01 hdmi & audio & stuff is set based on output format, based on some calculations.
03:08 mk01 and those calculations do permit just limited scope of final clocks
03:09 mk01 and 23.976 simply doesn't fit into that
03:09 mk01 (so can't be set)
03:10 mk01 this is from low level driver
03:11 mk01 the 1,001 is exactly 23,976/24, 29,94/30 respectively
03:13 forest Okay, thank you. Such a shame... the platform is great for media playback in so many other ways, but this is a pretty big flaw in that department.
03:36 balrog any advice on this network dropout?
03:38 balrog I'd like to know whether it's hardware or a broken driver
04:55 balrog__ ugh, is this failing hardware?
04:55 balrog__ it seems to have broken again
04:55 balrog__ but nothing useful in the logs this time
08:44 _dab_ rabeeh__: with driver improvements what is the best MBits/sec that one could expect from the i4pro wifi?
08:44 _dab_ a client wants to know
09:57 coredumb Hello
09:57 coredumb got my new i4pro 2 days ago preinstalled with openelec and updated afterwards to 5.0.1
09:58 coredumb seems to be working fine for the most part, but i get sounds cracking on videos - Like a shhhhhhhhh - that randomly goes out
09:59 coredumb playing music on MPD doesn't seem affected
10:00 coredumb also i note some slight A/V desync even on SD content that seems to solve itself after couple of seconds
10:00 coredumb any idea what settings i may change to fix that ?

14:59 fritsch coredumb: adjust refreshrate to match video enabled?
14:59 fritsch coredumb: only happens with passthrough, right?
14:59 coredumb fritsch: i haven't find the passtrhrough option in openelec
15:00 coredumb i've just set output on HDMI
15:00 balrog can someone help me determine if my hardware is dying and I should request a warranty replacement?
15:00 coredumb but i still have the shhhhhhhhhh
15:00 balrog I'm getting this and ethernet dropping out periodically
15:00 balrog > kernel: fec 2188000.ethernet eth0: MDIO read timeout
15:00 balrog it's really annoying since it doesn't come back up soon enough
15:00 fritsch coredumb: always or every now and then?
15:00 balrog which means I lose all access that's not serial
15:01 coredumb fritsch: yes only on videos
15:01 fritsch coredumb: before every menu click? after some time?
15:01 fritsch okay, from time to time?
15:01 coredumb menu is ok
15:01 coredumb MPD from addons is OK
15:01 fritsch Video -> Acceleration: Enable Adjust Refreshrate to match video
15:01 coredumb from time to time randomly in videos
15:01 fritsch Video->Acceleration: Sync Playback to Display (Video clock) and method: Resample audio
15:01 coredumb oh
15:01 fritsch then under System -> Settings -> System -> Output: disable all passthrough
15:02 fritsch if this does not help a debuglog is required
15:02 coredumb OK
15:02 fritsch when render stalls for too lang, dvdplayer needs to sync up
15:02 fritsch that might sound like that
15:02 fritsch what kind of movie is it?
15:02 fritsch something special?
15:02 coredumb nope
15:02 fritsch or plain 24p?
15:02 coredumb 720p hdtv rips
15:02 coredumb tv shows
15:02 coredumb even SD ones
15:03 coredumb so nothing special
15:03 coredumb hits everything
15:03 fritsch try the above settings, please
15:03 coredumb i've not watched a full 1080p movies yet
15:03 coredumb fritsch: will do sure !
15:03 coredumb just later this evening as i'm not home ;)
15:03 fritsch okay
15:04 fritsch a component log will help to see what is going on
15:04 fritsch and depending on the fps, it might just drop and skip
15:04 fritsch 50p is a big of a problem with that architecture
15:04 coredumb yeah but i usually don't have much sources in 50p
15:05 coredumb videos se4ems OK anyway
15:05 coredumb just this shhhhhhhhhh on the sound
15:05 fritsch logfile will tell
15:05 fritsch we send some noise from time to time
15:05 coredumb the A/V desync happens far less
15:05 fritsch to keep the avr alive
15:05 fritsch but non hearable
15:05 fritsch :p
15:05 coredumb oh this one is :P
15:05 fritsch will see later
15:05 coredumb ^^
15:06 coredumb it's like actor voices passed through a fire
15:06 fritsch perhaps our audio engine did not like the movie
15:06 fritsch we will see
15:06 coredumb fritsch: well it has not liked all my movies :D
15:07 fritsch yeah - i would start to thnk about it
15:08 coredumb as i had the same on all different files i tried
15:08 coredumb and watched for at least 20mn
15:08 coredumb you around this evening ? EU time ?
15:21 fritsch coredumb: you can try
15:21 fritsch coredumb: just ping me
15:28 coredumb fritsch: ok i will :)

17:53 coredumb fritsch: i got none of those options
17:53 coredumb neither in video or audio
17:54 fritsch yeah
17:54 fritsch cause you are in "standard view"
17:54 fritsch switch to Expert View
17:54 coredumb oh
17:55 fritsch in confluence skin
17:56 coredumb mmmmh in the skin settings ?
17:58 coredumb grumpf don't find anything talking about thtat -_-
17:59 fritsch https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55728161/aesettings_passthrough.png
17:59 fritsch see the left circle
17:59 fritsch only that is relevant
17:59 fritsch you see that?
17:59 fritsch https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55728161/vdpau-settingshowto.png
18:00 fritsch if you prefer bars
18:01 coredumb http://kodi.wiki/view/Settings
18:01 coredumb i see my settings level to standard
18:02 coredumb OK !
18:06 coredumb wow how slow the interface becomes :P
18:09 coredumb fritsch: actually all passtrough was already disabled
18:09 coredumb fwiw
18:17 fritsch coredumb: okay
18:17 fritsch slow the interface? while playing something?
18:17 fritsch or did you change something else?
18:17 fritsch cause those settings only affect playing video
18:39 coredumb fritsch: it was slow when i activated the expert mode
18:39 coredumb after a reboot seems OK
18:40 coredumb fritsch: i played a video for 15mn, seems ok now
18:40 fritsch okay
18:40 coredumb i guess resampling helps
18:41 fritsch if you press "o"
18:41 fritsch from time to time
18:41 fritsch do you see skips / drops?
18:41 coredumb i'll confirm you later when i get to watch something more extensively
18:41 coredumb got the kid home now
18:41 coredumb :O
18:41 fritsch hehe
18:42 coredumb tough to play something without him sticking his face to the 46" :D
18:50 Amitojs Hi, I am running Android 4.4 on the Hummingboard. I was wondering what modifications I need to make in audio_policy.conf in /etc folder in order for analog audio via headphones to start working?
