1) If you mean playing Blue Ray discs (via a USB Blue Ray player) the short answer in No. 2) You should have no trouble streaming 720p from a NAS, I can stream 1080p over smb with no issues. 3) Look on the back or front of the plug; it needs to be 5v and be able to supply at least 750mA (ideally 1A)...
@Kuki See here ( http://authenticate.rsdelivers.com/staticpages/pi/returns.aspx ) for RS returns. I don't think RS are coping with any aspect of distributing the RPi. The demand for it seems to have totally overwhelmed them, which is strange because I've never had a problem using them in the past. J...
You need to edit/ make advancedsettings.xml see here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Userdata/advancedsettings.xml This should change it to 5 second steps: <advancedsettings> <video> <!-- "VideoSettings" instead of "video" for builds prior to May 22, 2006 --> <usetimeseeking>true</usetimeseeki...
@Sappher If it's not working with your current set up your probably running a version from before libCEC was ported. The latest builds of OpenELEC and Raspbmc both come with libCEC set up for the Pi and it works "out of the box", so an easy option to get CEC going is to install one of those. Alterna...
@Kuki It could be a firmware issue, but I doubt it. This has affected mine for a few weeks now and I've gone back and tried older versions of OpenELEC with the old firmware and its no different (might be an idea for you to try too, see here - http://sources.openelec.tv/tmp/image/openelec-rpi/ ). To ...
@mahjongg thanks for your input and advice, I appreciate it. I removed f3 and bridged with an Amp meter, even with a keyboard and Ethernet plugged in the current didn't go above 520mA and hovered mostly around 470mA. Unfortunately the problem persists. I was able to reproduce it by running OpenELEC ...
Searching the forums it appears f3 is meant to trip at 1.1A On the schematic found here ( http://www.raspberrypi.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Raspberry-Pi-Schematics-R1.0.pdf ) f3 is labled as 1A1 6v, which supports what I found in the forums. The fuse on my Pi is marked "7", so I assume the fuse ...
Are you having your Pi overclocked? Maybe that's causing extra current consumption and might also explain freezing after a while. The TP1 - TP2 voltage should stay above 4.85V for stable operation. If the Polyfuse starts to trip, your Pi is either using 2 much current or your Polyfuse is defective....
@Montala definitely 1.5v with nothing but the HDMI cable. @Burngate Interesting, just measured F3 again (after being off for an hour or so) and I'm now getting 0.6 ohms. When you say the TV back feeding is "normal", do you get it? Is it down to the TV or the design of the PI? Sorry about the erroneo...
My Pi has started misbehaving :( after months of perfect use. When I first got the Pi I was using an iPhone Charger (rated at 5v 1A) with a micro usb cable and later used a blackberry charger (rated at 5v 750mA). Both worked fine and did not cause any obvious performance issues or crashes until earl...
Hi, Download the zip from GingaNinjas Git here https://github.com/GingaNinja/rpi_cecd/zipball/master and extract the binary (the file named "rpi-cecd") I've not used Raspbmc much but the theory now is you need to replace the binary on your sd card (I think its just in /usr/bin ) with the one you've ...
I've done some poking around and I believe (could be totally wrong!) this is down to omxplayer. In OMXPlayer.cpp I found this, which (I think) explains why /* only pause and normal playspeeds are allowed */ if(iSpeed > 1 || iSpeed < 0) return; I'm sure I saw somewhere else this may be related to an ...
...The problem is that the edges are cutoff. At the top right I only see the bottom half of the time. Similar amount missing in the other corners. This makes it difficult to control - can only see the end of text in the left side menus! All videos have the edges cutoff too... If I understand you co...
I did a build from GIT initiually, it took hours.... is there a simple guide to updating this and keeping my build up-to-date?? Not used Git Hub much in the past, but this works for me... If you have already cloned the Git, navigate to that folder and run: # PROJECT=RPi ARCH=arm make clean # git pu...
Thanks for the replies, glad it's not just me. I have read others having problems with FF and rewind with other distributions of xbmc but most of these we're over a year old. I'd not seen any reports from other RPi users (until now). In fact, I've just found @wumpyr has posted an issue on the git ( ...
I am having an issue with the fast forward and rewind functions on OpenELEC xmbc (r11298). When I use the keyboard shortcuts (R and F) it shows the graphic to say it is fast forwarding or rewinding (and even cycles through 2x, 4x, etc) but the video just continues to play at normal speed just with n...
Just a quick update to say that controlling XBMC (build r11298) on the Raspberry Pi with the TV Remote control thru CEC works fine with my Samsung TV (LE40A566P1MXZF)... Out of interest do all your controls work (like play, pause, rewind, etc)? The up, down, left, right and select work on my Samsun...
Hi, New to Pi, new to XBMC, new to OpenELEC. Getting a simple setup of OpenELEC from an pre-prepped image was a doddle and have been impressed with OpenELEC running on Pi and it has played all of my movie rips without a hitch. I have a couple of quick questions: 1. Can I manage my files within the ...
... possibly a topic for a different thread ... but right now the TV is powering 2 RPis .... one running XBMC (OpenElec is time) and the other running SqueezePlug (just to see how it performs). There is some conjecture about exactly what the RPi requires/uses in terms of current, but Eben wrote on ...
Are you referring to an external device, such as the Pulse8 adapter? Such a thing is not needed with this latest build. The HDMI CEC codes from the TV are recognised by software in RPi and are then sent as control codes to XBMC (currently via HTTP not via the Pulse8 libCEC route. I also have a Sony...
