radeon hw accel enabled or disabled ?
#1
got a XFX AMD Radeon HD 5450 card do I ENABLE hardware acceleration or turn it off? I ask because since upgrading to the latest Kodi the video playback is freezing and I get audio only. I fixes this before but I can't remember how.

Debug Log and we can answer
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

I thought this was a known problem sorted out with a configuration change. It was working well before the update to Kodi now the freeze issue is BACK. I read how to fix it before and it worked it's just I "think" the update turned off my changes. I just want to know for the XFX AMD Radeon HD5450 card what the video acceleration config should be. Not sure why a debug log is necessaryHuh

Because the DEV wants to see the errors you are getting to try to assist you. Thats why a log is needed. Maybe the DEV wants to fix the issue, but he/she needs your logs to try to solve it

I never understand why arguing with a Dev when he/she asks for logs. They are trying to help, but people just question why they have to put the effort in to get things fixed rather than supplying the information requested.

fair point and well taken. It's not laziness on my part just I didn't want to snow anyone under with clutter when the answer might be a simple one. That said I understand your point, thanks for making it and I am sorry to have given the wrong impression

dmesg | pastebinit
dpkg -l |grep mesa | pastebinit
vdpauinfo | pastebinit

without those - no help possible. 5450 works perfectly with the OSS driver -> so it's your personal issue.

first of all thank you so much for all you do. I appreciate you looking at this. Also thank you for telling me about pastebinit, I had never heard of it being a linux noob.

SO ( and I hope I did this correctly) the results are

Dmesg paste.ubuntu.com/16267086

dpkg paste.ubuntu.com/16267145

vdupau paste.ubuntu.com/16267173

again thank you

All fine.

Under Video -> Acceleration: Disable VAAPI and enable VDPAU and also enable VDPAU Mixer.
