Ha, nice find Wanderlei. This probably came before my concept? I know there were a few "clear slabs with rounded corners" designs out there. I'm not gong to claim copyright to the rounded rectangle shape. :D I hear Apple patented the rectangle already anyway and are in the process of suing Samsung:...

I see Widdershins exact design on ebay. I hope he gets royalties.

Would you just have to manually add a new 'start.elf' thats for the 512mb boards? For the Pi to see all 512MB RAM, yes. However there is now a specific workaround in XBMC to ensure stable GUI operation when only 128MB GPU RAM is available - I'm wondering if the GPU can now access more RAM on 512MB ...

Wanderlei

Just wondering if the 512mb R-Pi is worth getting for OpenELEC? Will it be supported, compatible, etc? Compatible yes, supported... I'd guess so, in time. XBMC recently introduced a workaround for 256MB (upscaling the GUI from 720p to 1080p) which is in current OpenELEC builds, but I'm guessing thi...

Updated to r12066 and everything is zoomed in, lose about 25% of the bottom and side of the screen. Tried tv settings, just scan etc, no change, cannot change options because I cant see them. Reverting to r12015 its the only build were CEC can resume full functionality after the input is changed it...

Also interested in this. Might help people narrow down problems when they are reporting bugs.

OpenELEC is the most polished, fasted and stable.

Wanderlei

Where are the nightly builds available from?

http://openelec.thestateofme.com/ Is still on r11904.

Wanderlei

Thanks for the reply, what you said makes sense, I will stick with the ones that come with each release. On you previous post you said that r11904 had no obvious OMX related errors. I am hoping this will fix the problem I have been having where music tracks and videos have the last few second trunca...

I was wondering if there is any diff between using bootcode.bin, loader.bin and start.elf files from raspberry pi git hub; https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/master/boot And using the ones from 3rdparty/thebootloader folder that comes with each release of OpenELEC? Are they the exact same ...

CEC aka 'simplink works with R-Pi and LG TV with OpenELEC but it has issue where if you change input, eg HDMI to another HDMI input or to TV channels, then back to the R-Pi input, CEC stops working. Well half stops working, play, stop, etc work, but direction, back, menu, buttons do not. I think the...

Wanderlei

It does it with videos too.

Wanderlei

In the CEC video, does the guy power up the R-Pi with tv remote by having the usb power cable going to the TV?

I was thinking of this, but the problems I thought of would be powering up the R-Pi when you just wanted to watch tv and turning off tv would power off the R-Pi with proper shut down.

Wanderlei

I have tried everything but cant get sound out of vlc. I have a feeling it is using the analogue output not hdmi.

Wanderlei

This is excellent.

I am gonna go to Bunning and see if I can replicate it. Usually with these types of things, my end product never ends up looking like the one from the picture:)

Wanderlei

My has been rocking along, nice and stable.

arm_freq=900
sdram_freq=450

... with music it's not annoying too much ;) haha this is true, music tend have better fade outs at the end of songs build in:) Problems are surrounded with the OMX errors, usually timeouts. When xbmc change the track to the next song, sometimes the timer is running even without music actually bein...

Wanderlei

I did some more testing, what is happening when you start the track, it skips through the first 4 seconds of the track timer very quickly then starts to play the track. So when the track timer reaches the end, this 4 seconds must get truncated of the end. I tried running tracks from SD card and same...

I ordered from Elements14 on the 5th of August and received 20th of August, pretty stoked, faster than expected. (This is to Perth)

I wonder how much longer before R-Pi is stocked so people can buy and have it shipped straight away?

Wanderlei

What don't you understand? You can get high quality sound from the HDMI connector. Many recent sound systems accept a HDMI connection and can use the high quality sound it provides. That what I was trying to say and that it is just small link in the chain of having "good quality audio". So if he do...

Wanderlei

I am not sure I understand this.

High quality audio, R-Pi via hdmi to home theater receiver or amp then speakers.

High quality audio, requires good speakers and good speakers need something to drive them.

Wanderlei

I have been listening to audio books and I noticed that the last second or two is cut off. (They are MP3 files streamed via wifi.) I think it is a XBMC problem, because it happened under Raspbmc and OpenELEC. I look on XBMC boards too, but find no answer, someone said it may be to do with buffering ...

Wanderlei

Thanks Dom and Milhouse, both clever solutions. I did have small bonehead mistake, my format was wrong, I had "arm_freq = 800" with spaces not "arm_freq=800". After I figured that; With arm_freq=100, he went very slow after. Checked the log and BogoMIPS: 795.44 So I am on to a winner. @danco, with i...
