denz 424 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 I did a clean install followed instructions but enabling rpi-copy everything is slow motion but it is deinterlacing. When you choose rpi it start very slow then you get a blank screen and then it starts playing normally but it doesn't deinterlace. Similar issue what I have in windows machine to deinterlace I have to use the something-copy but it struggles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denz 424 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) The CPU spikes up to 90% when it is on rpi copy back. With rpi copy back with deinterlace set to no sd video is playing at normal speed but h264 hd is start stop. The interface is not fluid as it was it is not jumpy but just feels slow moving from card to card. When osd shows up the video can't be seen.

Luke 36886 Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 When osd shows up the video can't be seen. This is due to transparency effect limitations on the Pi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36886 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Ok we've determined that the rpi-copy back option is not suitable for high bitrate content. For this you'll want to use the regular RPI gpu option, which will perform better. However, the copy back option is the only one that supports deinterlacing, so you may want to switch it for live tv and other interlaced content. We may need to add a smart option to make this easier so that you're not always having to toggle it prior to playback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36886 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I've updated the builds in the first post with the 3.0.2 release of Emby Theater, as well as our new Raspberry Pi image that launches straight into the app!

Luke 36886 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 We have tested on RPI3 but yes it should work on older ones as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haraldov 10 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 our new Raspberry Pi image that launches straight into the app I have tested the image with a pi 3 and it works great. Thanks. Issues I experience: 1) The time is wrong and the epg guide shows wrong time. I can change the regional settings with the raspi-config and fix this issue, but first I must login in as the pi user. 2) My MCE remote is working with a flirc dongle, but not very well. I think this is a skin issue. With a wireless keyboard ET is easy to navigate with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36886 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 #1 is going to be expected behavior because we use system time zone settings. Maybe we can make this easier or at least improve documentation about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haraldov 10 Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 (edited) Maybe we can make this easier or at least improve documentation about it. It should be easy to fix with raspi-config, but the users need to know the username and password. I used the default user pi and the same password as documented here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/usage/users.md Documentation raspi-config: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/raspi-config.md Edited September 2, 2018 by haraldov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daldana 45 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 This might have been asked somewhere before, but will the app update itself automatically? If not, is there a way to update if from the command line terminal or will it have to be reinstalled again? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36886 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 You just run the install command again, however areas of the app do auto-update. The only time there will be a package update is when there are changes related to the video player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spotta 6 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I had ran both of those commands before trying, but I've moved onto the prepared Rpi image now, testing both to see how they both perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36886 Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I've updated the build in the first post with the 3.0.3 release. It has fixes for HDMI-CEC, as well as updated install instructions for Raspberry Pi. Thanks everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neik 834 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hi guys, anyone here using this on a daily basis? How are your experiences with streaming files and Live TV? I am quite interested in this but unfortunately, I do not have RPI for testing this myself. Especially interested if anyone is using this with a S905 box as this is how I would like to use this. Any experience feedback is appreciated! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 36886 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 If you don't already have an RPI, then it works great with RPI 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neik 834 Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) @@Luke, thanks for feedback! You haven't tested a S905 Box + Armbian + Emby for Linux so far, right? These boxes are almost as cheap as the RPI but have much more functionality (e.g. 4k, Wi-fi) than the RPI, that's why I am especially interested in this combination as it is more "future-proofed". I gave this a try on my notebook (x64) using the live function of Ubuntu and there it didn't work that great tbh. But this might be related to the fact that it only was a live system and not fully installed on the HDD, I guess. If I have a couple of minutes I will give it a try on a Intel notebook as mine is AMD based. Edited September 15, 2018 by neik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame this boxes aren't well supported because they are capable of quite a lot. Would you mind elaborate a bit what limited means? Were you able to decode 1080p/i content or did not even that work? €dit: @@Luke, is it possible to use an external player which might support this SoC instead of the integrated mpv?
