This howto is not about mint. They install pulseaudio, a soundserver. See kodi's pulseaudio wiki on howto solve your issue.

Has anyone had any luck in solving the deinterlacing problems mentioned on page 85? I am running the wmc pvr addon with an Infinitv tuner on comcast. The switching between interlaced and progressive with hardware acceleration turned on makes live tv and recordings completely unwatchable. It works well with software decoding except for the occasional tearing.

Upgraded my kernel to 3.19 and wsnipex intel va drivers, I found that my TV would not come out of Dim mode, when kodi had been inactive for a period of time, I think im look at a kernel issue nothing to do with libva-driver-intel. I read that 3.19 includes a lot of DRM Graphics fixes for Skylake so i wouldn't be surprised if the broke haswell.

dmesg contains some drm errors
dmesg
This is haswell hardware connected via a pioneer AV to Sony TV over hdmi.

I'm going to back the kernel back to 3.18.8 (im limited to choosing between 3.18.6 - 3.19) due to a driver bundle for my DVBS2 pcie card.
And see if the issue persists of not coming out of Dim mode after inactivity.

[update]
No further drm errors in dmesg or the kernel log after downgrading the kernel to 3.18.8, also fixed my wifi card (that i dont use) by backing the kernel down. FYI.

If someone has crashes on stop with some wired thread output of the kernel: pick that patch: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/li...03217.html

Most likely you changed the user and did not adjust the upstart script.

cat /etc/init/kodi.conf | pastebinit

id | pastebinit please not as root - but as the user that should be running xbmc. According to your config its name is kodi - this user exists - right? If not - that's your issue.


From what I see you did not follow the howto and did not create a user with name kodi - that's the issue.

cat /etc/init/kodi.conf | pastebinit :

i have createt a user Kodi

Code:

nuc1@OpenELEC:~$ sudo adduser kodi
[sudo] password for nuc1:
no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory
adduser: Der Benutzer »kodi« existiert bereits.

[fritsch]

kodi is neither in audio, video whatever group - you forgot that command from the howto.

Also make sure you have run the dpkg-reconfigure x11-common command

[dxwilli]

just for info, when I logging in as User Kodi and put this in the Konsole:

Code:

exec su -c "xinit /usr/bin/kodi --standalone -- /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp :0" $USER

Kodi starts, but after reboot the same

[fritsch]

Redo the howto - and don't miss the addgroup stuff and the dpkg-reconfigure ...

Edit: If you use encrypted home - the howto won't work.

I've installed this on my broadwell nuc nuc5i5ryk

When I play a video, I just get a blank screen. I tried installing kernel 3.19 but no change.

I'll try installing the ppa for experimental video and see if it makes any difference

Update: After installing ppa I now have video (yay):

So? If you had followed the howto completely - everything would be working? Anything else?

It all works very well thankfully. Except the remote. When the setup ran, I chose the MCE remote, but no transmitter.

It's not responding. It's the same remote code on my logitech remote that I was using the haswell nuc.
