advancedsettings.xml override works for one setting but not another - LongMan - 2023-12-11
I followed the instructions from https://kodi.wiki/view/Advancedsettings.xml#guisettings.xml_Setting_Conversion
The first setting seekdelay works, however the second usevaapihevc does not
<videoplayer>
<seekdelay>750</seekdelay>
<usevaapihevc>false</usevaapihevc>
</videoplayer>

Is vaapi enabled? as that's a conditional setting dependent on vaapi being on.

I want to turn off usevaapihevc specifically.
RE: advancedsettings.xml override works for one setting but not another - jjd-uk - 2023-12-11
Perhaps it's because it's in the linux.xml settings file and not the main settings.xml file. You could one of the other settings in there to see if anything from linux.xml works.

You might be on to something there. Is this expected behaviour? Is there a special syntax for linux only settings?

@jjd-uk and @Karellen,
The problem may other than i first realized. When i change the setting from the GUI, the change does not survive a reboot. I checked in guisettings.xml and the change is saved but it is not honoured on reboot.

Edit: Setting is Use HEVC VAAPI

I found the source of the problem. It is the Audio Profile addon. I enabled 'Include Video Player Settings' for the addon and it is overriding the gui settings and the advanced settings.
From one point of view that makes sense. If you install and configure the addon then you want to use those settings. Another point of view may be that advanced settings should override everything. Both points have merit.
The important part is that I understand the dynamics and now I can make it work for me. In addition, this info will be here in case someone else run into this problem in the future.
Thanks for looking into it. I appreciate your effort.
Cheers,
LongMan
