RE: vaapi-sse4: Deinterlacing Testing - fritsch - 2014-07-08

I would not do that.

Get a cheap haswell board and a Celeron 1820T. The HSW GPU generation is much better than what IVB had - including 24p support. VPP is broken in all drivers we have at hand, but in theory MADI is implemented even for SNB and IVB. MACI is HSW only.

Edit: Also make sure to not upscale 1080 content to 1080 by lanczos3 that's just insane. See the settings in first post. Everything HD3000 or better is capable of lanczos3 upscaling of 720p content to 1080.

We lost the 5 star rating in this thread :-) It's time to close it.

thanks a lot for the info!, and thank for pointing out the upscaling percentage, that fixed that problem.

Hi,
It seems in the recent builds of xbmc, JSON-RPC control is broken. If I play something directly from xbmc gui then it plays normally. But if i try to play the same thing via JSON-RPC then I am getting error

ERROR -
DEBUG: libdvdnav: vm: failed to open/read the DVD
11:27:22 T:2880736064 ERROR: Error on dvdnav_open
11:27:22 T:2880736064 ERROR: CDVDPlayer::OpenInputStream - error opening []

the command which I am trying via JSON
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Player.Open","id":1,"params":{"item":{"file":"http://172.16.0.3/Audiosongs/007LMFAO-SexyandIKnowIt.mp3"}}}

This same command works if I try it in previous month xbmc builds. Please help

Here is the complete log - http://pastebin.com/Fet3YZKY

In short: Only upgrade at the end of the month, not at the beginning.


RE: vaapi-sse4: Deinterlacing Testing - lelouch - 2014-07-09

@fritsch : Thank you for information. I will keep that in mind while upgrading next time!!!!

9th July build now working for live-tv, thank you Smile


RE: vaapi-sse4: Deinterlacing Testing - fritsch - 2014-07-09

@robo989: Still has this bug here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=165707&pid=1749681#pid1749681 - that will be fixed after next rebase.

Hello Guys!

I noticed today, that VAAPI acceleration has stopped working on my HTPC (Intel Pentium G2030T - IVB). It's an Ubuntu 12.04.4 (desktop) based system with XBMC 14.0 alpha (wsnipex repository). I've just upgraded the HWE from Saucy to Trusty (kernel version 3.13.0-30) and updated XBMC to the latest alpha release.

Do you have any idea, how can I fix it? Vainfo and acceletion settings in XBMC seem to be fine. Is it a kernel / mesa / XBMC related problem?


RE: vaapi-sse4: Deinterlacing Testing - fritsch - 2014-07-11

Nobody knows without seeing your Debug Log


RE: vaapi-sse4: Deinterlacing Testing - megema - 2014-07-12

@fritsch: Sorry, it was my first post here. I thought maybe it's a common issue. I had to turn off debugging first, but I managed to upload the log file: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=244855


RE: vaapi-sse4: Deinterlacing Testing - fritsch - 2014-07-12

No idea ... decoder gets closed - no error happens -> use an uptodate distribution is everything I can suggest.


RE: vaapi-sse4: Deinterlacing Testing - wsnipex - 2014-07-12

dpkg -l libva1


RE: vaapi-sse4: Deinterlacing Testing - megema - 2014-07-12

@fritsch: Thanks anyway!

RE: vaapi-sse4: Deinterlacing Testing - wsnipex - 2014-07-12

might be the issue, your kernel and mesa are quite recent, but libva is still the old version from precise launch.
