don't know why it was removed try
http://pastebin.com/FryfhMqH. Also i think it was the sync setting to display. The wierd thing is it doesn't like the text overlay with the codec info etc. But if you don't mess it works perfectly. I'll get you the full settings display when my encode is finished,
sorry bud new kodi log
http://pastebin.com/pMFgNGZ7 and glxinfo
http://pastebin.com/5iyuawMV . my settings are as follows:-
V-sync alway on
Ajusy refresh rate always
sync playback to display on
a/v sync method video clock(resample audio)
Decoding Method Hardware Accelerated
don't allow vdpau (Not Enabled)
Allow vaapi (enabled)
mpeg-2 vappi enabled
mpeg-4 vaapi enabled
prefer vaapi render method disabled
What i can tell you is that the drivers from xorg edgers don't allow smooth motion like the ones the 1.07 official installer does. However, once i had purged the ppa and reverted back everything was sliky. Would you like me to test any code you write? I'm pretty sure i've got the hang of it now.
Nope ... I am still confused ... what in fact your issue was ...
well, whatever the issue was it's fixed with your code change so i'm happy. I'm sure i'll be able to incorporate it into future releases providing the original code doesn't change too much. I'm sorry i haven't been about much the last couple of days as i have been unwell.
So, please do something for me.
Install a plain from kodi from our ppa and disable "Sync Playback to Display". If that should not also work - something non deterministic is broken.
ok. So after reverting to a plain kodi and disabling "sync playback to display" the video playback was generally stutter free. However, i have reinstalled the version with your changes as this delivers rock solid, fluid video. By far the best video playback kodi has delivered in linux. Absolutely perfect. Thank you once again.
Okay. We need a fallback to the GLX clock as some older intels have sucky drivers. Thanks for verifying.
no sweat bud. And again thank you for fixing my problem.
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/6781 <- should fix your issue in the future. It will fallback to GLX (old method).
If you want to try:
within your xbmc source directory:
Code:
git remote add fritsch https://github.com/fritsch/xbmc.git
git fetch frisch
git fetch origin
git reset --hard (will whipe my other patch)
git checkout -b newtest origin/Helix (makes a new local branch)
git cherry-pick a0b54b3be14c5f87b9cf7c7f2535764c2b9e2cbd (make sure to really get the hash id, the forum formats it a bit silly)
./bootstrap
./configure --disable-debug --disable-vdpau --enable-vaapi --enable-optimizations
make -j3
cool, think ive got your git code running. was greeted with your name as the author and the various insertions and deletions. I will post back as soon as it is done compiling on my ancient cpu.
First impressions were perfect. I was worried at first as i first installed a fresh version of xubuntu 14.04. As Intel had recently removed support for 14.04 as of their 1.08 installer i added the Oibaf ppa and recieved the upgraded version of the drivers (which installed as Trusty). Your new optimised code works as good as the previous intel drivers, rock solid and smooth. I'm sure you want to see a debug log and as soon as I have some blu ray video to show you as well as the other x264 video i have i will post.
Oki. A
Debug Log would be nice though.
We don't have time anymore to push that to Helix - so keep your custom build for now. It will be in v15 though.
oops. it's not working under the oibaf ppa kodi log
http://pastebin.com/4WqGi5p6 . I wish there was some way to revert back to the drivers from a couple of days ago.
I don't fix broken drivers, sorry ...
use ppa-purge, it's even written at the beginning of the page in his ppa.
i can purge the ppa ok. It's just that a couple of days ago intel changed their drivers and it took the ability away to use the installer. Just my bad luck i guess. Everything was perfect until i reinstalled linux.
