If I had a smooth ramp before this build with VAAPI enabled, will it still be smooth after? Or has something changed to make it different?

I had to enable full RGB via SSH and an autostart script, and choose the limited palette in kodi settings previously to achieve a smooth ramp.

Nothing changed.

Hurray. Can I thank everyone for their immense efforts in cracking this. It's a brilliant result and really appreciated by all of us I'm sure. fritsch - as ever thanks for banging your head against a brick wall until it broke (the wall, not your head I hope)

Will try thank Chris. Is #intel-gfx an IRC channel?

My Acer Chromebox with VAAPI Motion Compensated and Prefer VAAPI Render Method enabled is sitting with both cores around 15-20% when playing 25Mbs H264 native interlaced 4:2:0 1080/50i stuff and not a hang in sight so far with the experimental OpenElec build posted a couple of messages earlier in the thread. This really makes the Chromebox a brilliant solution. HD Audio, Bluetooth and Wifi, fast SSD (OpenElec boots incredibly quickly), HD Audio AND high quality de-interlacing :-)

[fritsch]

Yes, #intel-gfx, his name is ickle there.

Now let's hope we get the IVB /SNB deinterlacing also fixed, that would be really nice for such hardware. (Though not chris's territory).

Hi everyone! Lovely thread!

I'm using the latest wsnipex intel drivers for Trusty, Kodi RC3 and Ubuntu 14.04 with latest 3.8 patched kernel. My HW is an 4350T (Haswell) and now the de-interlacing works amazing. But I have a problem with the refresh rate in Livetv, because I set my display to 60 Hz (smoothest menus) and when I try to play a livetv channel (25 fps i) my display doesn't change to 50 Hz. 24p films are right (the display changes to 24 Hz).

Thanks again

Post the logs thread 1 wants.

Also include DISPLAY=:0 /usr/lib/kodi/kodi-xrandr | pastebinit

[tocinillo]

Ok, but I'm using kodi-standalone (without lxde back) but I think I have the same problem running kodi with lxde. I will put the log later, thanks for the quick reply

[fritsch]

No, it's very fine doing it standalone.

Login via ssh and execute the commands.

[tocinillo]

Nice!

Thanks again

All the other logfiles are still missing - cannot say anything. Set xbmc to debuglogging, restart, play something that shows the issue (e.g. non refreshrate switching) and post the logfiles thread 1 wants.

[tocinillo]

Yes sorry, my mistake.

Full debug log http://pastebin.com/MLJE1pBK

FIrst I played a movie (1080 23.976 fps) and the TV shitched correctly to 24 Hz. Later I tried the same with live tv channel and no luck, the TV stuck in 60 Hz.

Thanks again for all your awesome stuff.

[fritsch]

I don't see anywhere that the stream's refreshrate is announced. It seems to be unknown. It's a problem with the content.

Workaround: Set the TV refreshrate to 50hz, menus will be fast and you don't need to switch anything for the live tv content.

[tocinillo]

Yes, I set my TV to 50 Hz, but I prefer 60. So the problem is Kodi or maybe the backend??

Thanks.

[fritsch]

backend and the way the stream is announced.

Here, what happens with that stream: http://solidrun.maltegrosse.de/~fritsch/1080i50_h264.ts or this one http://solidrun.maltegrosse.de/~fritsch/..._mbaff.mp4 or that: http://solidrun.maltegrosse.de/~fritsch/720p50_h264.mp4

does it switch from 60 to 50hz?

[tocinillo]

Yes, yo'te absolutely right. I tried on another machine with Kodi, the log show that:

NOTICE: fps: 0.000000, pwidth: 720, pheight: 576, dwidth: 720, dheight: 405

Now in the same machine with Gotham:

NOTICE: fps: 25.000000, pwidth: 720, pheight: 576, dwidth: 720, dheight: 405

So the problem is the DVBViewer add-on. Thanks again
