I'm using a Celeron NUC with 2gb ram and OE running off a USB stick, Fritsch build solved my video issues but gave me audio issues

I mean the latest build on that thread. I don't know why, but this build solved my issue..
Can you please link me the post you're pointing to? I'd like to read it.

Thanks!

P.D: Sorry for my english, I know is not quiet good.

That is fixable though. You can take a nightly and include xrandr --output HDMI1 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Limited 16:235" in autostart.sh for fixing the crushed blacks.

I'm running this build (doesn't need that xandr command):

http://openelec.tv/forum/116-vaapi-intel/64006-vaapi-deinterlacing-testing?start=78#73652

It was still too dark for my taste. So I have:

xrandr --output HDMI1 --brightness 1.00 --gamma 1.20:1.20:1.20

In my autostart.sh to fix this.

1.15 would be better for me, but then with dark scenes it becomes too dark and adjusting brightness throws off the colors and contrast too much. Just test in ssh to see what suits you if you feel you need to change the levels.

Problem is that xrandr is missing the contrast directive (this might be because it is not exposed in the drivers), thats why I have used gamma for, but it is not the same.

If you have i3 NUC and not a celeron version then better option is to do software decoding at this time and modify brightness and contrast in GUI.
My settings for both, brightness and contrast is 58... it is 1.15/2.0 = 0.575 = cca 0,58% or 58 in 0-100% scale.

Software decoding works flawlessly for my picture quality taste... but it costs in the CPU utilisation and since this still does not produce fan noise it is good for me... for now.

Thank you for the link. Did those tricks solve your problem?
I see that there is a new build from Fritsch (in the openelec forum's VAAPI post)

Code:

05/22/13-2: Intel driver bump to 2.21.7 (this should also fully support haswell) dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55728161/Ope...13825-r14382.tar.bz2 (RC6 is again enabled by default, see the thread on howto disable) - Celeron NUC owners, please test.

I think I'll test it on my NUC.

I believe that when this is fixed it should be removed from autostart.sh.
But, I dont believe that this will be fixed soon, as far I found out is that Intel is stalling here.... I really hope that I am wrong here.
It might that OE devs will find something to bring contrast directive to xrandr, but I am sure that they are experts, they know what are doing, they are doing a really good job and if there was sollution they would already implemented it.
Well see what will happen when haswell will be available in the next few weeks or so.

What I was told by some friend who is ingeneer in embedded systems is that manufacturers (like intel, nvidia, amd) actually sell "features" to computer manufacturers.
As feature I mean for example HW 3D acceleration methods and also access to settings like brightness, contrast... etc.
They make a lot of money for "feature access" and they cannot in the same time sell this and give it for free for open source.
You know what I mean by now.
But this is all unconfirmed and you have to take is only as roumor... I can be totaly false here.

I haven't tried any of Fritsch's development builds since I don't do TV through my NUC and don't need the deinterlacing. Hope it works for you though.
