i don't know Big Grin
should i change?

i have the new kernel now.
colors are saturated and kodi fonts are blurrier than earlier.

edit: i had to choose "Use Limited Range" and voilá. Blush

I hope you followed the complete howto for setting the limited range / full rgb / passthrough rgb whatever ...

Post me: DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --verbose | pastebinit

No ideas about the zip files - basically don't that - will only bring dependency nightmares ...

About your color (xrandr) output:
Display is set to Full, so if your TV is only a Limited Range TV - kodi needs to be set to "Use Limited" - all fine.

thanks.
so do you have any clue about the avi file problem?
i could play this movies with isengard on a raspberry pi2.


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2015-12-21

Use your raspberry pi for that file then ... your log clearly says: permission issue. Copy it to somewhere else and chmod 666 it. It might also be the folder, which can have wrong permission, chmod that 777

Not really on topic but thats the same issue i encountered and therefore had to move away from fritch's builds.
I was not able to figure out the reason why most of the addons i used on Isengard refused to install.

This seems to be an OpenELEC/Kodi 17 issue - also getting it in my builds, both on x86 and RPi. Can't reproduce in Ubuntu/Kodi17 builds. Hmmm...

Sorry, your error is different.

OpenELEC is reporting the following when installing addons from zip:
Code:
07:04:30 174.090775 T:1965129728   DEBUG: CAddonInstaller: installing from zip '/storage/downloads/script.moviesetart.frodo.0.2.2.zip'
07:04:31 174.415527 T:1763963808    INFO: ADDON: cpluff: 'Could not read plug-in directory /usr/lib/kodi/addons: No such file or directory'
07:04:31 174.452591 T:1965129728   DEBUG: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory ()
07:04:31 174.452744 T:1965129728   DEBUG:   ParentPath = []
most likely because /usr/lib/kodi/addons is read-only and not writeable. This is an informational message only, and the addon will install normally.

Anyway, this isn't the error you are reporting - not sure what is causing that, installing addons from zip should be working fine (barring any dependency issues). Upload a debug log if the problem continues.


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2015-12-22

Jep - I - for my part - cannot install any addons anymore :-) It tries to open the addon installer URL with VideoPlayer - perhaps I find a bit of time for it today.

Yep, getting this in my x86 build. Not in my RPi builds. Confusing (sorry for all the noise).

Edit: This addon issue begins with my build #1220, so the commit is somewhere in that changelog. Strange that it's not reproducible with the latest #1221 RPi build.

Edit2: Reproducible on Ubuntu/Kodi17 with these VideoPlayer patches on top - it's in there, somewhere...


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - the-dreamer - 2015-12-22

i get also this error from redbiro:

21:36:29 T:140557860079744 ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting addons://install/
21:36:29 T:140557860079744 ERROR: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory(addons://install/) failed


Kodi tells then that the network drive is not connected... it seems that addons://install is not defined. i cannot see the path defined in kodi.log .


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2015-12-22

I already contacted Fernet to have a look at it.

@the-dreamer: the real issue is some lines up (so don't cut logfiles)


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - the-dreamer - 2015-12-22

@fritsch: this was not cut from my log. this is the log from redbiro. but i have seen the same error in my log when tried to install a zip.

[offtopic]
some info for the splitted avi bug:
this isn't codec or permission problem its related to the "parts to movie" thing. Blush

when i tried to start from the movies -> library -> movie path it failed even when i tried to start first part from the context menu.
when i tried to start from the videos -> files -> movie path it started properly.

when i switched on the combine split video item in settings-videos-file list it failed from the files path too.

so only one combination works:
1) switch off the combine split video item in settings-videos-file list
2) play from the videos -> files -> movie path

It seems to be this commit that introduces the addon issue:
