Re: OMXplayer has no audio - tried absolutely everything

OpenELEC and XBMC video configuration

Hi, I did post this in the Test Build thread, but there's probably a bit too much "noise" there... So... Can anyone explain to me how the various video configuration settings are supposed to work with OpenELEC and XBMC ? Out of the box (ie no config.txt) XBMC decides to use DMA hdmi_mode=39 1360x768...

Re: Don't have a Farnell account yet preordered a Pi so how do I know what's happening?

Hi Elliot,

There's probably not much point asking here, as only Farnell will be able to answer your query.

From what I recall of the pre-order process, I thought you had to create an account, but I could be wrong...

The first batch of production boards do have the GPIO header attached.  It was left on the Bill of Materials so the factory put them in.
