That sucks for sure

[jingai]

NVIDIA vs Intel issue?

[Memphiz]

yes might be.

@jingai - could you verify that this testbuild behaves same like the one before:

http://mirrors.kodi.tv/test-builds/osx/x...x86_64.dmg

I am preparing to do a pull request with the changes we have now to at least ensure that this hits krypton in time.

Still smooth, provided there's no overlay up.

i am about to provide another (hopefully final) testbuild in an hour or so.

Please test and report back:

http://mirrors.kodi.tv/test-builds/osx/x...x86_64.dmg

Adjust display refresh rate : on start/stop;
Sync playback to display : checked.

• Choppy with AND without hardware acceleration on MacBook Pro 2016 Sierra 10.12.2 (same with official Krypton RC and Jarvis).

• Smooth on iMac mid-2010 El Capitan 10.11.6 even with hardware acceleration (same with official Krypton RC and Jarvis).

Rectification: I experienced a choppy playback on the iMac yesterday with this build, and had to stop and restart video to retrieve a smooth experience. Seems there is a constancy problem with the build.

Post a debug log (wiki) with both situations if possible

Hi Memphiz,

Some feed back from my side. With your latest build everything seems to work fine. I do not see anymore the choppy playback even when resuming a film.
VTB is enabled and Adjust Display Refresh Rate enabled too.

On my mac mini with Intel Iris Video card it seems to be stable and works perfectly. Thanks a lot for this huge work.

Olivier.

Buggy : http://pastebin.com/pjxr8ccK

OK : http://pastebin.com/TsMfSSe1

[Memphiz]

Do you have vtb hardware acceleration disabled? Seems it is not activated. Also the ok log looks strange with a lot of audio resume and re-enumeration in it. In the bad log i only see that there appeared a new audio device on the fly "cambridge audio dac100"

[cybergrunge]

“Allow hardware acceleration - VTBDecoder” was checked in both cases.

The “OK” log has been generated during a session that was:
- start Kodi (after having stopped it because of choppy video = “Buggy” log)
- navigate to the video file on an external drive (perhaps with an error of path once, I'm not sure)
- play the file and pause it once or twice during the movie
- stop Kodi

I don't use Kodi for audio.

I may have started the Cambridge DAC after Kodi, can't remember. No indice of problems with video playback in the “Buggy” log ?

I can post other logs of similar situations, or from tests with a 2016 MacBook Pro, if it is of any help…

[cybergrunge]

Anything new so far?

[Marty56]

I am right that the Kodi Release still contains this buggy behavior?

[Memphiz]

Yes

[Pazu]

I observed this behavior on a Late-2009 Mac Mini (with Nvidia GeForce 9400M). Is that on the spectrum of known hardware platforms which demonstrate the issue?

[Memphiz]

Seems kodi has this issue for nearly all nvidia gpu equipped macs
