RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - mule1 - 2015-12-28

Any chance that there will shortly be a fix/workaround for the buffering issue when switching tv channels or do we have to wait until the development of the videoplayer has been finalized? Issue has been discussed here

Just read the thread you just linked.

We don't support tvheadend here ... this thread is about videoplayer and vaapi.

Little bit OT, but about general development - something has changed in webinterface/JSON in recent builds? (around rebasing from 16beta to 17alpha). I use Android apps to control Kodi (Kore, Yatse) and from some time i cannot initiate audio and video playback from these apps. I can only control playback once it's started using remote. I've tried audio/movie/tv series playback initiation using apps and also webinterface directly and nothing starts from apps and only audio starts from webinterface.
The same apps work without problem with stable Kodi 15.2 on second host but not with Kodi from ppa on my BeeBox.

Can you help me with it? Here is log with all checks (movie/tv series/audio playback from WWW and Yatse) - http://paste.ubuntu.com/14243616/

Am pretty sure it's allow sharing set to false will stop kore working - it's what i found anyway.

Thanks but i use only local storage so IMHO nothing to do with sharing. And all files are accessible when i start playback using remote.

I see that VP9 vaapi hw is now supported in ffmpeg http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=commit;h=d7c2b75681e5d8942af6b0c30abf6e79b474d819

Could this be usefull now/in the future for a braswell user ? or is it for more recent cpu ?


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2015-12-28

I reported that some posts back before I pushed the kodi code ... It's totally useless on Braswell as everything > 1080p does stutter like hell. Broadwell / Braswell / SKL do VP9 via "hybrid decoder" ... much too slow for relevant resolutions. For Broxton it will work nicely. All the relevant code is in kodi already.

Thing is, I can go back to any early december release without changing anything related to Tvheadend, and it all works like a charm :S
Which made me thing its not tvheadend related..


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2015-12-28

As only tvheadend stopped working it is highly tvheadend related ...

My setup works


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - jjslegacy - 2015-12-28

Fritsch - enjoying the new upload speeds? You are putting out versions faster than I can download Smile


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2015-12-28

@jjslegacy: in deed - yes :-) I still had a day off today and just built directly after fernet was pushing something. Then I saw 4.4.0-rc7 was released and also built that one.


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - jjslegacy - 2015-12-28

as always I appreciate it! Maybe someday I will move away from openelec but for what I need it just works so I appreciate these builds!
