Wrong topic ? It does not seem to be an answer to me Wink


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2016-02-08

Nope - the fix I posted yesterday fixes something else, that is meant with that sentence.


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - incubus - 2016-02-08

Ah ok !

Where about linux header all?


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2016-02-09

Not needed. Those kernels are build for 64 bit only.

Does anyone here use ps3 BD remote? It seems to be unstable for me and I don't know where actual problem is. Remote itself, OE 7 or OE in general.

Nope. Offtopic warning ... -> ebay.de here you find a marketplace.

Following up. Do you need a better log?

After a commercial skip occurs, stopping and restarting where where I left of continues normal playback.

Kodi log at http://xbmclogs.com/p8ldu7wpa
When a commercial is skipped, playbacks does not crash but rather playback starts to play at what seems like 1 frame per 3 seconds, no sound and slow responsiveness to commands.

Is this an EGL problem or a mythtv pvr addon problem?

Another log with maybe less noise

Nope - no time and busy.

Works a charm, thanks a bunch Fritch, disabling the turbo and setting max cstate to 1 makes it run rock solid, and jarvis beta 3 looks real good so far.

Yeah. The cstate=1 is a sad thing ... thinking how long this bug is already open :-(

Fritsh, Are you certain that this does not affect Braswell? I saw the kernel bugreport and read through the whole thing and also read every post on this board and a couple other boards on this bug and I can only find 1 guy saying he saw it on Braswell and you saying it's not on braswell. I have an Asrock Beebox n3000 and am seeing a very similar complete system freeze at random times. I originally thought it was heat related but have since replaced my 2.5in SSH with an msata drive because asrock recommended not running the n3000 with a 2.5 in drive for heat related reasons. That seemed to fix random reboots (which were probably heat related) but what I am left with now is just freezes periodically. I have been running a watch cputtemp and gputemp and have only caught one freeze that occurred while I was moving around in the GUI. The CPU temp was high but I have been running 5-7C above that for 12+ hours (video on repeat/loop) since with no freezes. The freeze seem so random, like watching a movie and messing around in the GUI with no rhyme or reason.

Is there any way to change the cstate in openelec? I think I can change it in the bios but was hoping to have a more reproducible situation to test but so far that has eluded me. If it is heat related I'll step up to the n3150 with a fan but dont want to spend the money if it's this kernel bug.

Almost two days and no new reply? Does this mean that everybody is fully satisfied with the current stage of VAAPI EGL implementation Smile
(I am)

Fritsch, I hope you wont't abandon this (and further Linux) project(s) for Android Smile

just installed / configured it on a fresh system w/6.0.198 without issue. Maybe a download/connection errror, or perhaps try updating your repos prior to install?


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - AndreaSpooky - 2016-02-15

hi,
after a long time I didn't read this thread I decided to install "OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-6.0.198-Intel_EGL.tar" over my plain 6.0.1 (taken from the main openelec site) and all seems to go fine: I mostly updated to have HEVC acceleration on my BeeBox.

One thing: memory occupation goes waaaaay up after a few videos watched (over 60% on my 4gb total).

Is that normal?
