RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - cford1905 - 2015-08-13
Followed the guide in the first post (Ubuntu server 15.04 nuc i5). Everything seems to be working well. One thing that I noticed, however, is that when playing a video there are micro-hangs of about 1/4 second every 10 or 15 seconds. Strangely enough these go away about 15-20 minutes into the movie (local files on my NAS).

(2015-08-13, 01:23)trsqr Wrote: I mentioned yesterday that there seems to be some strange behaviour when it comes to memory usage of kodi. With the OpenELEC build from post #2 it crashes after watching n videos (where n seems to be something between 50 and 100 in my system). After each video, kodi seems to consume more memory according to system info page. The system became unusable when memory usage was at 72%.
Then I prepared an ubuntu system according to post #1 and #2. The memory usage is approximately 300 megs when I start kodi. After each video it seems to raise a bit. I took screen shots from the situation and stored them at http://trsqr.net/kodi . Strange thing is, the memory consumption reaches 83% (on my 4GB RAM system that corresponds to Kodi using 3120 MB RAM), but never goes further from that. Also, the system stays completely usable. When I quit Kodi everything is fine and all memory is available. When I start it again, this sequence starts from the beginning.
I did run valgrind with parameters --logfile=filename, --leak-check=full and --undef-value-errors=no, but the results do not show anything. The result is in the text file in the above link.
Another strange thing is, that if I disable VA-API from Kodi settings, the memory usage stays at around 300 megs no matter how many times I watch Big Buck Bunny. With VA-API enabled, it seemed to go up 5-30 MB after each video viewing. It seemed to grow fastest when using the video http://distribution.bbb3d.renderfarming.net/video/mp4/bbb_sunflower_2160p_60fps_normal.mp4 .

kodi.log with debugging, watched two movies with VA-API and exited (memory usage was 500 megs at that point): http://paste.ubuntu.com/12066571/
Can I somehow further debug this?
Thx much. Currently travelling for work ... will See when I get time again :-(
Edit: kodigrind.txt is not accessible.
RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - FernetMenta - 2015-08-13
how do you measure memory usage? you know that Linux may consume mem for its own purposes and give it to apps on request. this memory is not flagged as free mem.

Hi,
Thanks for your support, this is my full kodi log

As you can see, I'm already using mesa GIT release (10.7.0-devel - 26/07/2015), so I dunno why this extension is missing...

Here are the logs that you mentioned in post 1. To clarify, KODI doesn't crash.

Not a Debug Log (but many, many banned addons installed). Please follow the howto for Ubuntu, which is the topic of this thread. We have no clue what gentoo currently does.

Aaah sorry, here is it, with debug enabled!

RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2015-08-13
Nope - no idea. Please use Ubuntu as this is what the howto is about ...
On gentoo you are alone. Start with debugging permissions, then mesa compile flags and so on ...
RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - pxpert - 2015-08-13
mmmh... could it be due to missing gles1 and gles2 support in mesa? I'll tryito recompile mesa with them and let you know
PS. do you know if latest stable mesa (10.6.2) can handle that extension?
RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2015-08-13
No it does not have it. Please - this is not a gentoo support thread ... use the howto cause that's what this thread is about.

RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - pxpert - 2015-08-13
Compiling latest GIT mesa (which required and update to llvm 3.6.2), and enabling glesX seems to have solved the problem.
Now it plays smootly!
Thanks for your support (and your patience
)
RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - FernetMenta - 2015-08-13
We don't use gles with X11, we use OpenGL.

Same issues with local files?
Thanks for geting back to me. I tried with the same video from my local Downloads folder. The issue stopped completely.
It looks like an issue with non-local files. I also tried playing other videos from my NAS and had the same issue. Issues were exactly the same as in my original post. Could it be a buffering issue? Before updating I was running on Kodi 15 on Ubuntu Server 14.04 and did not have any issues. I read in someplace that there were some issues with samba in 15.04. I'm currently using kernel 3.19. Does it make any sense to go up to 4.1?
