(Solved) Video Playback problem with 1080p

[Marvin9931]

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.

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.
