@FernetMenta RETIRED
I don't like it whatsoever. You are too young for that, by far!!!! Really?

 Great. Any change this patch will be on PPA's?


Thanks

According to kodi's ffmpeg policy it cannot be included before it was proposed to upstream ffmpeg.

FFMpeg's mailinglist approach is quite motivating you know :-)

Hi!
I recently discovered an issue with new kodi stable and DPMS:
with using provided autostart file :
 

Code:

OUTPUT=`xrandr -display :0 -q | sed '/ connected/!d;s/ .*//;q'`
xrandr -display :0 --output $OUTPUT --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full"
xsetroot #000000
xset s off -dpms
 /usr/bin/kodi --standalone
while [ $? -ne 0 ]; do
 /usr/bin/kodi --standalone
done
openbox --exit

DPMS was not disabled, so DPMS kicked in even when playing music over HDMI.

I had to explicitly set DISPLAY=:0 befor the xset -dpms call.

With this DPMS is disabled after kodi service is started, and now kodi handles setting display to sleep like configured

Thank you for the great tutorial!! I decided to start a new/clean install and so far so good.

However I have one problem which I don't know how to solve: my TV makes a lot of overscan, so I need to correct it using "Video calibration..." under display settings. However, the values I configure are always forgotten on next kodi reboot.

I tried to adapt "/home/kodi/.config/openbox/autostart" using a modified xrandr command with --transform option, and the overscan was solved, however the result was that I got lots of visible artifacts when playing videos (ex: https://photos.app.goo.gl/msFCUwHgGsCyHeh7A). The same videos, without the "xrandr --transform" and proper "Video calibration" play ok.

So, what should I do in order to keep "Video calibration" values between reboots?

Thank you in advance

Should be fixed in git already: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/15516

I found other threads describing the same issue, which seems will be corrected in Kodi 18.2

Thanks 

Will be fixed for 18.2 (hopefully) but at least after: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/15713 is merged.

Nice one! I'll try that.


Thanks

Thanks a lot for this guide.

For a long time I still had my kodi system running on an old kodibuntu release which was based on ubuntu 14.04, so I decides it was a good idea to follow this guide to do a complete reinstall.

Unfortunately, the video playback is no longer as smooth as it was before. In several 1080p videos I have noticed some stuttering in the video's. I have tried to disable VAAPI, but that seemed to make things worse. I also tried disabling passthough and to toggle some setting such as sync playback to display, but this did not seem to make a difference.
Are there any things I can do to make sure the playback is smooth again?

Hello,

after waiting quite a while I upgraded from 16.04 to 18.04.
Now it seems like my formerly perferctly running system lost the hardware acceleration, although it looks to be correctly intalled, any ideas?

EDIT:
I fixed the issue by purging and re-installing kodi and removing all auto-installed libraries. Looks like the upgrade created a half-baked situation.

The issue was resolved.
