See fritsch.fruehberger.net/kernel this castrated Hardware has no mainline kernel support yet. See the byt folder

@djnice: Any results yet?

I sold the HDMI capture device, but the screenshot from Kodi (ctrl + s) seems fine.
When I received the new HDMI capture device, I will re-test.

Thanks much - so you definitely see a difference?


RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v17 based on Ubuntu 16.04 server - djnice - 2016-05-29

Yes, the picture is perfect.
I have an another question, the VAAPI hardware decoding is working with Broadwell (i3-5005U) on HEVC 8 bit videos? I tried, but the CPU usage was about 50%, and the post processing appeared in the video settings.

No. Broadwell only has hybrid hevc decoding and only on Windows. See your vainfo output. On linux braswell or skylake is needed. No 10 bit support no matter which Intel Hardware.

The IntelĀ® HD Graphics 400 is stronger than IntelĀ® HD Graphics 5500?

Has nothing to do with eachother. One has dedicated Silicon, the other not.

I finally tried out Krypton alpha with Kodibuntu 14.04, along with wsnipex mesa/vaapi ppas. It worked frigging just fine! Banding free and no more double scaling using VAAPI.

I'm just sticking with 14.04 since everything *just works*, and most importantly it works with the PS3 Remote using the bluez 4.x patches.

Here is an updated driver for the color issue: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55728161/i965-va-driver_1.7.0-33_amd64.deb

This patch is already in the repo?


RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v17 based on Ubuntu 16.04 server - fritsch - 2016-05-31

Which repo?

This bug has nothing to do with kodi. The patch was already pushed upstream: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/vaapi/intel-driver/ but Ubuntu did not update any packages and most likely also won't do ...

Edit: Ah you meant wsnipex vaapi ppa - I packaged it and sent wsnipex an email - I rather had prefered an official solution.


RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v17 based on Ubuntu 16.04 server - djnice - 2016-06-01

Yes, I mean the ppa Smile
Thank you!

System ->Video->Acceleration:
Enable HQ Scalers for scaling above: 20%

Why 20%? Why not 0%?


RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v17 based on Ubuntu 16.04 server - fritsch - 2016-06-05

Why 0%?

Edit: As I explained it 20 times and nobody is using the forum search, here a link for you: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=253648&pid=2338710#pid2338710 - which also explains why 0% is the most non smart thing you can do.
