RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - zserrbo - 2016-02-21

I use a latest stable repo, and there is no "Adjust Refreshrate to match video: On" option in System ->Video->Acceleration as instructions says. But it has an "Adjust display refresh rate" I just wanted to say it.

And I have a problem. I made a fresh install Ubuntu server with Unity desktop (before I use xubuntu-desktop). I followed the instructions, but when I started to playing a video the screen was compressed, content was not fit in the screen. Sry for my English. After I try to switch to other windows with ALT+TAB and desktop is freeze. I set off the "Adjust display refresh rate" option and it seesm to be good, but I don't test it too long. Before I think it has no such a problem with settings ON, if I'm not wrong.

I don't have a too good Samsung TV-monitor. Is it important settings? If not, I set off.

We don't support unity. This howto is provided as is.

Hi fritsch.
I wonder if there is any progress on finding the bug which stalls SD material on start ?


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2016-02-21

Nobody is working on it, so I guess it is still happening for you, even with latest code?

Edit: Mind sharing a sample that causes it? I just tried with 10 SD files (from the 90s and all work).

This may be a stupid question, but I was thinking of installing openelec on a nuc5cpyh, when I go to the jarvis testbuilds I see videoplayer v17, and for the older builds I see videoplayer v15.2, but I thought kodi jarvis was v16?

The link to https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/98309225/OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-6.0.198-Intel_EGL.img.gz does not work anymore, which file do you recommend I download if I want to try the egl builds on a nuc5?


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2016-02-21

No Jarvis builds. We go straight to v17.


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - wookl - 2016-02-21

Ok, thanks for the quick replay.

Yeah still happening with last nightly.
1 min sample which stalls on me : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/58579113/sample.mkv
The original is not in mkv but same result.

So I start it and see chip and chap running arround with french audio :-)

When does the hang occur?


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - incubus - 2016-02-21

Just rebooted for a clean debug log : http://paste.ubuntu.com/15158586/
Hang on start until I hit left key.


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2016-02-21

Could you also please disable "Adjust Refreshrate to match video"?

I see AE dieing there. My TV already runs on 50 hz so it does not need to switch.


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - incubus - 2016-02-21

After disabling "Adjust Refreshrate to match video" it doesn't hang anymore but the audio kind of struggle to keep up with video with funny sound like you slow a vinyle disc with your hand on the side Wink


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2016-02-21

Thanks much. That's valuable information! I forwarded to fernet as he is the specialist here.


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2016-02-21

And please also post a log with these settings.


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - incubus - 2016-02-21

Reboot then debug log without adjusting refresh rate : http://paste.ubuntu.com/15159026/

Thanks for your help !
