As you know, since my upgrade to jarvis egl builds i've been struggling with a/v sync issues. so today i've decide to do a hard reset, unfortunately nothing changed. it's even worst using 28/9 build especially with some files ( most of them with ac3 track )
Starting playback results heavy skipped and dropped frames ( drop:13, skip:21 ) = a/v out of sync by arround 3s ( av: -2.xxx )
a rewind immediatly fix sync ( a/v: 0.0xx )
playing the same files with isengard build = no problems

debug log

nothing on post #1 instructs you to use crappy xbmclogs.com. this site is crap, crap, crap because it is down so often.

In order of best quality working downwards:

#1: Driver 0-255 + Kodi Limited + Dithering On/Off + TV Limited
#2: Driver 0-255 + Kodi Full + Dithering On + TV Auto/Full
#3: Driver 16-235 + Kodi Full + Dithering On + TV Auto/Limited

And those three are the only real viable options. #1 is essentially untouched - the holy grail of video purists everywhere.

I've tried #1 (or some sort of since i cannot control directly TV settings and xrandr tells it's set to Full). Great picture, great blacks, on test patterns everything below 16 is black. But I've "problem" with whites. On movies it looks OK but on test patterns flash all stripes up to 253, not to 234. Naturally stripes around 230 are much darker and the ones around 250 much whiter, but all of them flash and only from 253 or 254 then disappear and everything is white. Is it OK? Have i found the holly grail? :-)

@sat4all: What that what you were using?

This is a test version and following settings are _only_ for this test version:

- It should by default use "Video 16:235 pass-through" instead of "Full", you can verify this with xrandr --verbose please
- Your TV gets a Limited Info Frame by us, so it should be set to Limited Range - or if you have a new TV Auto should recognize this
- Kodi should be set to "Use Limited"
