Green line around video or jerky video. - craigino - 2013-09-05
Hardware
Intel® Core™ i5-4670T CPU @ 2.30GHz

Problem: When I enable DXVA2 in XBMC I get a green line around my HD videos. Everything plays smoothly, but there is a thick green line around 2 sides of the video. If I disable DXVA2 and use the software render method the green line goes away but the HD videos are jerky. I have tried many options to fix either of these problems. Nothing seems to work. Therefore, I'm coming to you for help.
Other Notes: I use an EDID Override but that does not seems to make a difference with either of these problems. SD videos seem to play fine (no green lines) with DXVA2 enabled. Intel forum talks about a driver related problem and Intel acknowledges this a problem, but the examples they talk about don't sound or look like my green line issue. But I still wait for their new driver anyway.

Go back to the old intel drivers and see if that solves your problem.

Having a similar problem on 4:3 videos. Seems to be restricted to h.264/x264 encoded videos. Not visible on 16:9 or stretch mode. Turning off DVXA2 Hardware Acceleration fixes it.

Don't Intel's ggpus have issues with dxva2 + xbmc? I can't find exactly where I saw it but I think it was in a thread by Dougie Fresh about the celeron 847.
RE: Green line around video or jerky video. - milli - 2013-09-12
Earlier generation of intel graphics(HD 2000/3000/4000) has macroblocking/artifacts issue with dxva2 enabled. They are supposed to be fixed in haswell but looks like even this one has an issue but a different one. It has nothing to do with XBMC. If you use vlc or mpc with dxva enabled, you would notice the same issue. Have you checked the codecinfo when you played the video with dxva disabled to see what the values are for cpu and vcpu?
RE: Green line around video or jerky video. - craigino - 2013-09-12
Yes, turning off DXVA2 does remove that line, but on my machine the video becomes jerky. I tried everything I could find to fix the jerky problem but I either have a green line or jerky video. With DXVA disabled the value for cpu is reasonable but when the video is jerky the vcpu is around 101%. And the problems in the thread over at Intel don't quite match up with my issues. So I'm waiting for a driver and trying to see if there is anything else I can do in the meantime. I could be waiting for a driver for a very long time. Here is the Intel thread. https://communities.intel.com/message/188951#188951
RE: Green line around video or jerky video. - milli - 2013-09-12
A couple of issues here. One is with intel graphics driver and another one is with XBMC itself when dxva is off. You are running with i5 and I have i7, the system is powerful enough to do software decoding but instead the video stutters with vcpu running at 100%. In fact I have another thread on this issue . If you also post it there(jerky video when dxva is off) it may get some attention from dev.

For my system (i3-3225 - HD4000) beta drivers since June fixed all problems.
Latest stable drivers update just arrived and I saw no problems at all. BTW I'm using latest nightlies.

Too bad there is no update for sandy bridge graphics. OP can confirm if this version fixes his problem. Just curious to know what kind of problems you had, that beta/this version fixed it for you.

For mine, it was corruption in skin and limited RGB issue. Both were fixed in beta drivers for months. Never got those problem in playback at all. Whether it was h264,VC1,MPEG2.

Okay, just remember that I'm running with Haswell, and no, these new driver did not fix my problem. Green lines at left and top of videos.

I don't have Haswell system though. Too bad it's not working for you because my Intel system is running really good now.

It may be just you never came across videos with this playback issue. I have come across only two videos myself having these issues. I couldn't figure out why only these videos have issues when I'm able to play similarly encoded videos.
If you are willing to test I can share the video with you.

Fine by me. but usually when it's green block around the edge from my experience it's because video resolution is not exactly divided by 8 or 16 which doesn't play nice with some hw decoder. Just from my past experience and hardly a hardware fault it's usually the encoder which didn't comply with spec.
PM me so I can test that problem video.

I also have a new Haswell CPU inside my new HTPC (i5 4430S)
With DVXA2 enabled on Windows 8 i have a green horizontal bar in some movies (not all)
When i turn off DVXA2 everything works fine.
Hope Intel will fix this with new drivers
