nah... I clean the cache in a script on machines that I will maintain remotely, that's one less cause for full partitions... I was a bit on autopilot, so the script came in early, before production stage..

Cool, a fix! Yay!

Just pushed the fix. Will be in tomorrow's ppa.

The audio issue is still in the latest nightly. Kodi logs continuously:

Reverting to nightly from 2 days ago resolves the issue.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks - you spotted another issue :-)

For the time being, start kodi with AE_SINK=ALSA kodi

RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v17 based on Ubuntu 16.04 server - fritsch - 2017-12-13

Ouh that shows another issue :-( - does it work if you start it with: AE_SINK=ALSA kodi ? (latest version again please).

RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v17 based on Ubuntu 16.04 server - Stanislav - 2017-12-13

Yes it works, except that audio out changed to HDA Intel again (this also happened a few days ago). I changed it back to USB DAC and it is fine now.

So now my .config/openbox/autostart looks like this:

OUTPUT=`xrandr -display :0 -q | sed '/ connected/!d;s/ .*//;q'`
xrandr -display :0 --output $OUTPUT --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full"
xrandr -display :0 --output $OUTPUT --set "Broadcast RGB" "Video 16:235 pass-through"
xsetroot #000000
xset -dpms
devmon &
AE_SINK=alsa MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD_=131072 /usr/bin/kodi --standalone
  while [ $? -ne 0 ]; do
  AE_SINK=alsa MALLOC_MMAP_THRESHOLD_=131072 /usr/bin/kodi --standalone
done
openbox --exit

Yeah ... needs a more intrusive fix in the code.

Also for me this change fixes the problem!

Should work correctly tomorrow without further changes.

 At what time is that build happening? I'm impatient! :oP

Yeah - so work on that!

 There is still an issue after the PPA update. playing never starts.

 Playing resumed when I removed the Sync playback to display setting.

Back to 4K testing!

Do you think there is any point checking with stock 4.13 kernel and the xorg edgers PPA (updated mesa and libdrm)?
I probably will at some point, as I would really prefer to run a kernel that is getting updates through the normal mechanisms, if I can help it... But heh, it's also an appliance, it's not that exposed.

I will also check a mainline 4.13 kernel, it may be a problem introduced by an Ubuntu patch, and then it could be possible to get a fix from the standard channels.
