where do you think the 1080p file comes from to begin with?

There are potential advantages in playing back a 4K file and downscaling rather than playing a pre-downscaled 1080p file that was originated 4K.
This is because the compression artefacts on the 4K file will be in the 4K domain, and so they will be less visible, and when the downscale to HD is performed, some of them will be rendered even less visible. The 1080p file will have 1080p 'sized' artefacts which could be more visible.
However down-scaling cleanly to avoid aliasing is a non-trivial exercise, so it has to be done well to avoid introducing artefacts of its own. (When broadcasters started producing in HD, they discovered that downscaling HD to SD was trickier than upscaling SD to HD.)
RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - Roby77 - 2015-08-22
yes i agree
@fritsch why don't you link your version on oe forum to spread testing ?
(i can't test here cause my holiday tv is a really old lcd)
RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - gdachs - 2015-08-22
With the last updates from the wsnipex ppa I get artifacts during zapping channels in live TV with the vnsi addon, just like it has happend always with xvdr. It is of course only a cosmetic problem.

BTW, no need for photos from your phone/camera. Just press the PrtScn button in OpenELEC, there is a folder called 'Screenshots' where those pics are stored.
RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - Roby77 - 2015-08-22
so much temptations i installed oe version
I can't give a really a feedback until i reconnect my chromebox to my panasonic and denon
Bug: i discovered that if i seek to a percentage of a video i see sometimes artifacts and after 4/5 tries the screen freeze and i need to disconnect the power cause restar doesn't work

http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=222034&pid=1961956#pid1961956

I don't have your monitor and maybe it's more complicated depending on how dp gets 60Hz but generally -
If your monitor has HDMI it may be worth plugging something and saving a copy of xrandr --verbose to see what modes it offers.
My monitor (acer gd245hq) doesn't mention 50Hz modes over DVI so I owned it for ages before I used HDMI and noticed that it did do 50HZ over that.
Now If I want 50Hz via DVI I just add a new mode with xrandr and it works fine.
Just as an example here's what I do, you would of course have to look at the details of modes offered over HDMI and use your output names as shown by xrandr.
Code:
xrandr --newmode "cea-50" 148.50 1920 2448 2492 2640 1080 1084 1089 1125 +HSync +VSync
xrandr --addmode DVI-D-0 "cea-50"
xrandr --output DVI-D-0 --mode "cea-50"RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - meowmoo - 2015-08-24
Hi,
I just install this on my Chromebox, and its a big improvement! since i installed Hyperion for my Ambilight I got laggy playback from time to time, this is completely gone also the PQ is much better.
Only thing is that the Autostart command did not work for me. I added
Code:
#!/bin/sh
xrandr --output HDMI1 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full"Code:
xrandr --output HDMI1 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full" &My question is what does the & change, I'm a noob when it comes to stuff like this it was just try and error, and im glad it worked now
anyway thanks for the Work
RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - wsnipex - 2015-08-24
the & means run the command in background and do not wait until it terminates. I very much doubt that this makes any difference for xrandr, as it will terminate almost instantly anyway.

+1 asus chromebox and no problem
(i feel that movie cover are little bit dark but all avshd black test seems to be ok)
RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - meowmoo - 2015-08-24
Thanks for the Info, so I keep it that way, and be a happy Cow
RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - Roby77 - 2015-08-24
just curiosity (maybe all kodi version it's same and i nevern see it) but i noticed that during play movie if "call the menù ( that one for audio/video/subtitle etc) the brightness raise up a little bit ( using xrandr full and dither 8)
i also noticed in video menù that brightness and contrast are now adjustable but i suppose that is better to adjust them in tv settings or not ?
