RE: Issues with h/w decoding - dunc97 - 2024-07-04

Apologies for double posting but I would rather mention and save time if it at all helps. The display I am using is a TCL panel via HDMI, freesync compatible and enabled. Are there any AMD driver settings which anyone may be aware of that could impact on Kodi such as this? Or known issues with the 6700 XT GPU in particular? 

Thanks again all

HD Channel Crash to Desktop

SD Channel Crash to Desktop

Both of the above were with decoder set to DXVA, will repeat again with the other options; is it any use providing a log with software encoding working fine to compare?

Again this is really the wrong sub-forum for questions like that, hopefully a moderator can move it back to where it belongs where the right developers and users might see it.

I'd save all those dumps for GitHub if you don't hear on the good sub-forum.

I've moved it back again.

It's most likely the deinterlacing bug with AMD RDNA gpu and above. Comes from a change made by AMD in the drivers and impacts the render method DXVA for interlaced streams.
You can find in the forum a thread or two about that subject, with references to older driver versions that don't crash for the same streams.
I'm looking for a fix when I get a chance but it's slow going. I found something but it breaks the other gpus so not ready for review or merge.

Other ways to work around the problem would be to disable deinterlacing (looks pretty bad though...) or to deinterlace as part of the transcoding if that's an option.

That's kinda funny, but in a bad way.  Glad the GPU I sent you is helpful even if this issue is apparently a real PITA.  Thank you for your efforts on it. Smile
