Hello everybody,
First : thanks for your work !! Great great plugin
Now the complains
I have two macs
- One modern, a MacBook Pro : everything works perfectly.
- An old one, which is my home cinema, an iMac from 2009
He's in fullscreen mode, with a video projector plugged in mirroring, in 1080p.
My Kodi is v18, configured with the auto adjust frame rate.
it works nicely :
1080p24 > my hdmi output switches to 24fps
1080p25 > my hdmi output switches to 50fps
1080p23,976 > my hdmi output switches to 60fps NTSC
(24,50 & 60 are the 3 modes allowed by this video projector)
All the speeds are correctly detected and applied to the hdmi output, whether I use the local files or streaming.
When I read local video files on that computer (all rates), it's perfect.
When I read streaming from Catchup-TV & more (25fps rate, as I'm in France), it's also perfect.
Here's the problem :
When I stream from the Netflix Add-on, I can read perfectly 1080p24, but
not the 1080p23,976 or 1080p25 : it stutters.
Just to test, I installed the Youtube add-on, setup to use inputstream adaptive to read mpd from Youtube :
everything works and is fluid, at all rates (23,976, 24, 25)
Strange, no ?
So :
- I think the computer is capable of reading streaming 1080p at all rates (well at least until 25fps, which is enough for me)
- Why isn't it working with the Netflix plugin ?
I case of it might help to debug :
When I play a Youtube video and it hit "O", it display "video decoder : ff-h264 (SW)" (even if it's REALLY using inputstream adaptive, I'm sure of it
I did test)
When I play a Netflix video, it says "video decoder : inputstream.adaptive.h264.decoder (SW)"
Does Netflix add-on handle inputstream adaptive in a different way than Youtube add-on does ?
Would it be possible to handle it so that it works like the Youtube add-on does ?
Thanks, sorry for that long text but the problem was hard to detect for me
