Also, not seeing any option to stream games from my laptop?
Neither of those questions appear to relate to kodi.

Yea would really like to know how this performs...please also keep me in the loop.
You need to specify which version of Kodi you want it tested on.
Kodi Isengard 15.2 final or Kodi Jarvis Beta3 ?

Does it make a difference? Like has de-interlacing (or whatever the issue is) been tackled in a newer version?
I have one problem. I use jarvis. In video settings I have set up adapt to video frequency. And now sometimes when watching movies picture is getting oversized. What is going on? At begining it turns to for example 1080 p 24 hz and everything plays perfectly. But after while it gets oversized

Yes it does make a difference, see this post onwards:

You also need to look at the OSD Codec window to see if ff-mpeg Software decoding of the video is taking place because then the inferior software deinterlacing (Blend I think it is) is being used which is nowhere near as good as Hardware deinterlacing on the Chromebox or AMLogic S8XX/S9XX platforms.

As Koying has already said, a choice has to be made with the current Jarvis code. Software decoding of mpeg2 content so .vob files that are found on DVD ISO Rips playback smoothly using software decoding or Hardware Deinterlacing of mpeg2 SD broadcast TV.

I vote for Hardware deinterlacing of mpeg2 SD content for viewers of broadcast TV on various Android platforms. Don't care about mpeg2 playback in .vob containers at all.

Yes, those files will play flawlessly with hardware deinterlacing because they use the h264 codec. I'm watching now Canal+ Liga HD on the Shield and it's perfect Smile

If you are using 15.2 then Aeon MQ6 takes sone beating.

I'm back to using Transparency, I agree MQ6 is the dogs, but I'm now on Jarvis beta 3 so can't use it atm till it gets the public release to Jarvis.

I'm using "Arctic: Zephyr" cause I like it clean and stable. Using it with Jarvis Beta 2. No errors at all. Blush
