RE: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus
Got Pi3B+ today, and good news: XBian is booting and running
Got only one serious problem to solve: I'm using PINN as boot manager, but unfortunately PINN still does not support Pi3B+ So I got same flashing red LED After bypassing PINN, everything seems to be ok: eth is working, wlan is working, bt still not checked, but looks ok though Now I have to collect everything together for building image |

The bad news is: The new ethernet controller driver (LAN78XX) seems still very buggy and unreliable. Getting kernel OOPS permanantly, no stable working is possible (my test configuration's root fs is on a iSCSI target, so ethernet is much more busy than normal) After disabling ethernet and using wlan, system is stable now, but much slooooooower |

RE: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus
Great work @Nachteule Looking forward to test builds
Let me know if I can help somehow ~~~~>>>Please always follow rules and read before you post<<<~~~~ |

You can update your current Pi3 installation (linux-image-bcm2836 and xbian-package-firmware are important, xbian-package-initramfs-tools and xbian-package-config-shell optional) and put this sd-card in your new Pi3B. Should boot now |

RE: Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Plus
XBian_2018.03.17_rpi3.img.gz (and oc XBian_Latest_rpi3.img.gz) is first image supporting Pi3B+ available for download
Has kernel 4.9.87, this version works much better than 4.14.27 (ethernet is still unusable) |

I really need to use the WiFi chipset on the unit. Did i read that right? You are decoding HEVC on a Pi3? How is the performance? :) :) |

You are decoding HEVC on a Pi3? How is the performance? Yep, performance is brilliant. All of my 1080p HEVC vids are played smoothly (Kodi Leia testbuild required). Some days ago I did a test with my Pi2, even that one is able to play most of my 1080p smoothly |

That is amazing. I've tried some samples at FHD on a Intel Atom Z35xx SoC @ 1.33Ghz (4 cores x64 and a Intel GPU) with the latest Kodi (stable release, not Leia) (OS Win10 and 2 GiB DDR3 RAM) and it does not go well... (my living room HTPC... its a Intel Compute Stick) Is it possible the Cortex A53 has more "power"/performance than a x64 core? Or what am i missing here? If that is the case i'm ditching the compute Stick.... Also what is the average bit rate of those HEVC files you play? :) :) |

Next Pi3B+ issue available: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/2449
Seems that the guys haven't tested anything Giving up for today |

Intel Atom is not able to software-decode HEVC, and it seems that hardware-decode is not used No, A53 does not have more power, but there are ffmpeg patches using cpu and gpu for decoding HEVC frames. And most of that stuff is coded in inline assembler. So, we can say, in the meantime it is extremely optmized for Raspberry Pi Kodi Krypton patches are able to decode 1080p 2:35:1 AR videos, sometimes with glitches, and Kodi Leia patches are able to decode FHD (no black bars) HEVC's without decoding errors Quote:Also what is the average bit rate of those HEVC files you play? Bit rate is not relevant for me, quality is much more important. Just tested HEVC video again, ffprobe reports Terminal Input #0, matroska,webm, from 'unfired-rush-x265.mkv': Metadata: encoder : libebml v1.3.4 + libmatroska v1.4.5 creation_time : 2017-04-26T15:59:54.000000Z Duration: 02:02:37.72, start: 0.000000, bitrate: 5705 kb/s |

Wow the samples i have are in 16:9 AR and with 30 Mbit/s bit rate... and 1080p or FHD... maybe i can test with a lower bit rate and see what is the performance ? And yes i also don't care about bitrate but i do care about quality, and sadly the best ones have much higher bit rate :/ (or again am i missing something ?) 2:35:1 AR with no black bars? So it stretch the image or what? If so is that optional (because i don't like stretching the image) ? Thanks :) :) |
