Quote:In order to avoid problems I bought this NUC with Intel i3 and even increased my internet to 56 MB in downloads and 11 MB in uploads but it seems that my NUC is having problems and my old PC worked better. I have also tried the last test of version 7 but I am having some issues with the DNS settings and a few other small things. This is why I am asking you which version is best for my needs. I
Thank you for help and suggestions in advance.

We don't support piracy addons ... if that is the goal of the question ...

If you want a stable version check the official www.openelec.tv version, they provide enduser support. This thread here is for testing only.

For those running Xenial 16.04, there is a minimal change to do to get that howto going:

Code:
sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-legacy
sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-legacy

Choose everyone in the last question

@adri70 Why is your internet speed relevant then?

We can only help you with a Debug Log. Probably the most stable - though unsupported version - is the 198 EGL version of MattDevo, which is also linked in the hw forum / chromebox thread.

quickie, now that 16 is out and 17 is forthcoming: Is Kodi 17 (with all features incl. EGL) going to work fine on Kodibuntu 14.04 ?


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2016-02-27

Not without wsnipex mesa ppa and not without wsnipex vaapi ppa on this old OS.

On 16.04 everything is fine.


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - LateAdopter - 2016-02-27

I think NV12 requires mesa 11 and the wsnipex is 10.6.6, but mesa-lts-wily (11.02) is now available, in the Ubuntu repo.

When I tried a wsnipex Trusty version of fernetmenta-master, a while ago, with ~oibaf mesa 11.x and libva 1.6, all of the va-vpp deinterlace modes were broken: blank window (can't put NV12). Everything else worked, also the va-vpp mcdi deinterlace mode worked with kodi 16rc2 on the same configuration.

Since the 14.04 thread was closed, I guessed you wouldn't want to spend time investigating. But 14.04.4 has the wily stack, so it might work.

I was testing on a N3150 board.

fritsch: I've been following your threads since the beginning of the xbmc-xvba work. Your posts help a lot with understanding how the driver stack works. Thank you.


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2016-02-27

wsnipex has backported the original patches for 10.x - but 11.0 was the first version that got them officially.

Fabios ppa might break daily, that's why it is for testing. People using it should also report bugs to help him with his developments.


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - LateAdopter - 2016-02-27

I had tested originally with the wsnipex mesa 10.6.6 first and it had the error, that's why I searched the mesa commits for NV12 and then tried the ~oibaf version.

If you think NV12 should work with a Tusty build, I can try again with a current ~wsnipex Trusty build of fenetmenta-master or I can wait until one appears in the official xbmc-unstable PPA


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2016-02-27

wsnipex mesa ppa, wsnipex vaapi ppa + kodi nightly is enough for 14.04, for 15.10 only vaapi and for 16.04 both are not needed


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - Phobos666 - 2016-02-27

Awwwwwwwwwwww... no... now I reinstalled 15.10 because I couldn't figure out a way to autostart kodi on 16.04.

One question. Is there any build from you based on the jarvis-release with EGL?


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2016-02-27

No and there won't be. It was decided that VAAPI/EGL and all the other goodies need to wait until v17 - so it will be.

so are you saying that kodi/Openelec that the internet is not relevantHuh or maybe you mean that all streaming content is illegal and therefore piracyHuh

Although I didn't test it yet, there should be no difference in autostart method between 15.10 and 16.04. Both use systemd after all.
