RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v18 nightly based on Ubuntu 18.04 server - Rumpelstiltskin - 2018-07-21
hi @fritsch
I keep having problems with Signal lost, I'm in contact with the Dev's "bugs.freedesktop" and they asked me if there is any way to disable the output after I switched the AVR from HDMI1 to HDMI2 and then make it re-enable it in Kodi after I switched back to HDMI1? (For ex. by setting some video output setup option in Kodi from and back to HDMI-A-1 ?)
Thanks for always
RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v18 nightly based on Ubuntu 18.04 server - fritsch - 2018-07-21
you can stop kodi - xrandr will kill the output anyways. Kodi on X11 currently cannot work without a display. Kodi's GBM version is able to do that since 2 days or something.

Noob here, I just got back to Linux after some time. I installed Linux mint 19 on a Bay Trail J1900 with Kodi 17.6 but i can't get hardware acceleration to work.
What I have to install to get it working?
RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v18 nightly based on Ubuntu 18.04 server - fritsch - 2018-07-21
Dear Noob, please read: "4.) Reporting issues" on the first post and come back with that information.

b) A special version of kodi using the GBM window system can switch to offline rendering - but this is currently not installable via the ppa or something I could guide you to use.

maybe with the GBM solving my problem
RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v18 nightly based on Ubuntu 18.04 server - fritsch - 2018-07-21
I see @wsnipex has packageed kodi-gbm if he has time he might describe you how to "test switch" from this howto to kodi-gbm
RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v18 nightly based on Ubuntu 18.04 server - Hammurabi - 2018-07-21
I just assumed that with the newer linux distros and with the newer kodi versions , all this would come out the box.
So it's impossible to install a normal desktop distro with HW acceleration working out of the box? like in libreelec

ok thanks for answering, i'll check linux mint forums.
You think that maybe xfce is the problem and with other desktop enviroment more up to date will be working?
RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v18 nightly based on Ubuntu 18.04 server - wsnipex - 2018-07-22
what problem? XFCE works just fine, also with kodi.

for GBM: I've not been able to get it to work myself on my htpc yet. There is still a bug that seems to affect older intel cpus/gpus.
In theory you would just switch the Exec_start command of the systemd script to run /usr/bin/kodi --standalone directly instead of openbox

I started to compiling out for the first time, can I ask if it's right?

Code:
sudo apt-get install kodi-gbmNow edit /etc/systemd/system/kodi.service and change the ExecStart to look like this:
Code:
ExecStart = /usr/bin/kodi-standalonesudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo reboot
This works with kodi 18 ppa
