If avr is in standby passtrough mode, so audio is sent from Kodi to TV speakers, can I still use my TV remote to controll Kodi with CEC? I plan to buy a new AVR that has hdmi standby passtrough, but not sure if it passes the CEC commands to Kodi if AVR is not turned on.

CEC works with my yamaha rx-v473 when it is off.

Driver: has zero to do with Kodi. Was added for wsnipex ppa and 16.04, 16.10. Kodi is an application, not a os with drivers.

Sorry, I somewhat remembered you were using CEC, I was wrong then.

Thanks teedubb, this is great to hear. The Denon should work then too!

Question: On the PPA page of Wolfgang Schupp's "xbmc-fernetmenta-master", it states:

Quote:Current highlight:
play HEVC 4k@60p videos on intel braswell and skylake CPUs

Does that mean it is no longer necessary to build Kodi-agile from source, and use mesa drivers from Padoka PPA to achieve this?
What about proper HD pass-through support, it too is supported in this Ppa?

Thanks!

**wsnipex** · 2017-02-27, 10:29

xbmc-fernetmenta-master is not updated anymore, everything is in mainline.

Axman · 2017-02-27, 10:55

OK thanks. But is it true that "HEVC 4k@60p" is supported then, in mainline (unstable?) ?

**fritsch** · 2017-02-27, 12:14

No - it's not there. It's currently living in kodi-agile - inclusion of that work started yesterday with AudioEngine bits.

Thanks for the clarification.
I've now installed latest mesa using Padoka PPA and built kodi-agile from scratch.. But, now I'm no longer able to reach Xserver. What is the correct forum to troubleshoot the use of these unofficial drivers, do you know?

**fritsch** · 2017-02-28, 13:47

www.ubuntuforums.org - a simple Xorg.0.log is required and you are allowed to take part in the party :-)

Axman · 2017-02-28, 14:07

Good call, I'll try thanks!

Sorry for (possibly) lame question, but what about support for hardware decoding of HEVC 10-bit @ 24-30 FPS?

Changelog for Krypton, at Linux-specific section clearly states:

Quote:Added support for HEVC Main 10 profile (10-bit) hardware video decoding via VAAPI if hardware support it

The reason I ask is exactly related to this - I have a HEVC 10-bit sample, rated at 24 FPS and Krypton 17.1 RC on Ubuntu doesn't use H/W acceleration in this case, while my vainfo would suggest it should be able to do so (see profile VAProfileHEVCMain10):

Code:
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints

      VAProfileMPEG2Simple            :    VAEntrypointVLD

      VAProfileMPEG2Main              :    VAEntrypointVLD

      VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline:    VAEntrypointVLD

      VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline:    VAEntrypointEncSlice

      VAProfileH264Main               :    VAEntrypointVLD

      VAProfileH264Main               :    VAEntrypointEncSlice

      VAProfileH264High               :    VAEntrypointVLD

      VAProfileH264High               :    VAEntrypointEncSlice

      VAProfileH264MultiviewHigh      :    VAEntrypointVLD

      VAProfileH264MultiviewHigh      :    VAEntrypointEncSlice

      VAProfileH264StereoHigh         :    VAEntrypointVLD

      VAProfileH264StereoHigh         :    VAEntrypointEncSlice

      VAProfileVC1Simple              :    VAEntrypointVLD

      VAProfileVC1Main                :    VAEntrypointVLD

      VAProfileVC1Advanced            :    VAEntrypointVLD

      VAProfileNone                   :    VAEntrypointVideoProc

      VAProfileJPEGBaseline           :    VAEntrypointVLD

      VAProfileJPEGBaseline           :    VAEntrypointEncPicture

      VAProfileVP8Version0_3          :    VAEntrypointVLD

      VAProfileVP8Version0_3          :    VAEntrypointEncSlice

      VAProfileHEVCMain               :    VAEntrypointVLD

      VAProfileHEVCMain               :    VAEntrypointEncSlice

      VAProfileHEVCMain10             :    VAEntrypointVLD

      VAProfileVP9Profile0            :    VAEntrypointVLD

H/W acceleration works for me on H264 FHD sources. Hardware: Asrock J3455-ITX.

Many thanks for clarification.

Changelog is wrong. It was 8bit at that time.

How did you install Kodi? Does `sudo systemctl start kodi` work for you from command line on TV?
Pls show output of `which kodi` and `cat <kodi-user-home-dir>/.config/openbox/autostart`

[i]How did you install Kodi? : According to the instructions of fritsch (Post 1)

Does `sudo systemctl start kodi` work for you from command line on TV? : No - remote from other terminal
