Edit: kodigrind.txt is not accessible.
No prob, writing this from an airport as well... permissions fixed for kodigrind.txt, but the results are not interesting I believe.

I was just looking at the memory usage percentage in Kodi system info page. Anyhow the number did not grow when VAAPI was disabled and it did grow when VAAPI was enabled. Also, OpenELEC more or less crashed whene reaching 72%, but Ubuntu + Kodi did not for some reason. I say more or less, as it was possible to move in the menus, but for example it was not possible to start any of add-on that started an external piece of software (such as mrxvt console).

Yes, indeed it seems that the memory is released when Kodi is quit. Though I don't know where I was wrong - I am just reporting what I see.
If there are some other printouts in addition to passing the leak-check=full parameter to valgrind that I can collect while observing the growing memory usage percentage I could collect those as well. I'll retry this probably on Monday.Of course it is possible that OE gets stuck due to some other reason and not because of memory. However, the fact that any add-on does not start anymore could point to a memory issue.
I did not notice this problem, but was talking to another guy who had the same issue (OE crashing after watching several videos) on the same hardware but 2GB RAM - I just verified that it indeed happens.
RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - noggin - 2015-08-15
Is it possible that some TVs correctly interpret the
Code:
xrandr --output HDMI1 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full"I've installed the EGL OpenElec build from post 2 of the thread, and created the autostart.sh file. However when I run Kodi I get correct levels on my Sony UHD TV (routed via an Onkyo amp) without the Kodi option for limited output enabled. (i.e. I don't get crushed blacks and clipped whites without the setting, and I do get grey blacks with it) I am running via a Displayport to HDMI adaptor, but my display is reported as HDMI1 not a DIsplayport display in xrandr.
Is there an option to check that the xrandr setting I've made in autostart.sh has correctly 'taken'?

Yes , it is. If TV interprets info frame kodi's limited setting does not work.

Thanks. Looks as if my Sony 2014 UHD set correctly interprets info frames then...
RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - gurabli - 2015-08-16
If I build a rig based on G1840 Haswell, as it needs some more power for Plex and some basic nas functions, will I be able to run Kodi too? If I got this correct, everything should work on G1840 the same way as with Braswell, except future HEVC support?

My Haswell Celerons (HP260 G1 with 2957U and Asus Chromebox with 2955U) are working fine - so I've no reason to think a Haswell Pentium won't, though others here are better qualified to confirm.
RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2015-08-16
I had a Celeron 1820T based setup in my living room before I got a passively cooled ZBOX CI520 nano. It will be fine with this howto.
Btw. HEVC is taking shape at the moment. Fernetmenta has started development https://github.com/FernetMenta/FFmpeg/commits/release/2.7-kodi and Timo (btbn) has continued to work on those patches, here: https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg/commits/vaapi_hevc
Kodi's part was not hard at all (though testing did not yet happen): https://github.com/fritsch/xbmc/commit/af6300a1cbecc8722c805d4a8b92184146813f14
Seems with this next gen codec VAAPI will go into a nice future, at least HEVC wise.

Does this help?

yes fritsch - this helped...
thanks a lot for your support
