Another issue I have stumbled across with the Haswell Celeron 2955u based Chromebox in Kodi running on Ubuntu 15.04 Server Edition following this guide.
With some content, I believe with the VAPI deinterlacing modes on (though I have not yet finished troubleshooting) I experience massive UI flickering. The video itself looks great, but open up the GUI to do anything and it cuts in and out as various parts of the video frame seem to update on top of the GUI, followed by the GUI quickly reasserting itself and covering it up again, leading to a random flashing pattern across the screen
it's a little difficult to reproduce as it happens in some shows on some channels and not on others and I don't control which settings the streams use. I've only seen it with broadcast mpeg2 streams though.
The appearance is similar - in a way - to what the old 3DFX Voodoo 1 boards used to look like when they overheated (but lm-sensors indicate normal temps).
Is this a known issue, or would it be helpful to do another sample stream and log dump?
