tvOS Testing 2.0.0 (160309.1649)

[davilla]

next time someone gets the buffering issues, please grab mrmc.log with debug enabled so we can take a peek.

there is the log you've requested. I haven't yet tried uninstalling/reinstalling as others have done.

thx.

Hi,
thx for the great work. Everything works fine for me except the already mentioned PVR Buffering Issues. I used TVHeadend and VU+ Plugin. Both have very long buffering

[erJotas]

no one has tried rar's ?

Guilty!!!! It works with no issues,

I think 2.0.0 is a very stable version, just a little issues buffering PVR

Great job!

Works like a charm!

I had a few problems with opening Dvd Isos. Most work fine, but a few (home made) froze on loading. They may have been in a non standard format or something like that, but opened fine in Kodi 15.2 on Windows.

Apart from that no problems.

would be interesting to get debug log for it freezing. any chance those dvds are silly promotional material you can share with us?

I will try to figure out how to get the debut log tomorrow. I did a test and Kodi for Android also fails to read the file, while Kodi for Windows and also VLC for Windows plays it.

The Dvd contains live concerts with a Swedish Rock artist recorded from TV to VHS during the 1990ies and early 2000s and they transfered to Dvd by me. I guess it would not break any laws to share it with you, but its rather big.

Just tested a 10GB x265/HEVC file on the current beta and found pretty regular stuttering.
Any thoughts about future support for x265 or are we looking at new hardware to be able to support it?

tried the new SIO2 skin. Still prefer the default one. Funny thing is with SIO2, if you exit to the home screen and go back to MrMMC you briefly see the default skin before SIO2 is active. My biggest issue with SIO2 is that it feels more narrow, files are listed on the right side vs left side in the old skin.

I agree with this comment on the SIO2 skin. I tried it for a few minutes and just went back to the default. SIO2 is just too hard on the eyes for me. I know it's white like the tvOS UI but it seems even more white than tvOS. I wish that someone would just take the MrMC skin and just tweak it to make it more like tvOS but keeping all the features and the "dark" look.

Has anyone seen the new default skin in Kodi 17?

Depends on encoding and size of x265/HEVC, 720p seems to be fine, 1080p hit/miss, larger, nope. This might get better as FFMpeg adds more asm coding or Apple ever exposes x265/HEVC hw codecs.
