Full Version: (Solved) Video Playback problem with 1080p
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hello Xbian Community,

since the great xbian was created i used it on my Raspberry Pi 1, and now on Raspberry Pi B+.

Some days ago i buy a new tv, and now want to play 1080p videos.
I have a strange problem with the video playback. I can see the video, but there is a green cloud in front.
Please see a photo in attachment.

Anyone know that issue, or maybe know howto fix this ?
All files do this?

All files, 720 and 1080p. But i can remember that some time ago it was running fine.

ok, strange. All files, 1080p, 720p and lower. I updated some days ago, before it was running fine.

ok! Problem found and solved. Do not play with overclock settings...
Ah too much over clock, glad you figured it out.

Hi, sorry, since some new tests from today not totally. The problem is back again.

But i figured out some new details:
If i boot the device (plug power in) or reboot from ssh console, the problem is there.
If i go to the xbian-config and go to settings - system - videooutput and just set the settings and leave and reboot from that menu, its working.

I try to set again and no luck. I remember also playing with the video settings, cause i want to disable CEC.

Im figured out some new details:
- If i boot the device (plug power in) or reboot from ssh console, the problem is there.
- If i go to the xbian-config and go to settings - system - videooutput and just set the settings and leave and reboot from that menu, its working. One more reboot, and the problem is back.

Thanks to https://searchcode.com/codesearch/view/73653797/ i now know, that the settings are directly saved in the /boot/config.txt. I saved again from the xbian-config and did a copy of that file. I reboot 2 times and then did a diff on that saved file and the one in /boot/config.txt.

Here the difference:
xbian@wohnzimmer ~ $ diff config.txt /boot/config.txt
1c1
< #initramfs initramfs.gz 0x1000000
---
> initramfs initramfs.gz 0x1000000


But know here is the strange thing, the problem doesnt happen all the time. I reboot 5 times now and it didnt appear again.
Sounds like your power supply is a little underpowered.

but only "sounds like" ... i tested another power supply with max. 1,5A and no luck.

different PSU together with USB cable or same cable?
Cable makes big difference too

different PSU and USB cable.
And i buy a raspberry pi 2 B. installed from scratch. same issue. But maybe im now closer to the problem. Maybe it is something i installed.

samba mount with fstab = not working (playback error)
nfs mount = working
What is the device you are mounting? Maybe something in the config there?

I have SMB link from a pi to a Zyxel NSA325 and no problems at all with 720p/1080p.

I really need a bigger nas, but can't afford one just yet.

i have a 8core server, with debian 8 and samba-server. so nothing special. default configuration.
