It works on my 3700 with that driver but I did not try any other versions before.

You miss wsnipex mesa ppa. Your mesa has no drm patches ...

Edit: 14.04.3 has changed mesa package names... so an easy upgrade from ppa is not possible for you ... Thank you ubuntu.

what exactly is it that you want to share? that you ignored all hints from post #1? Smile you don't even have required minimum mesa installed.

EDIT: fritsch was faster Smile

System freezez typically after around 48hours since poweron, and needs hard powerdown to recover.

Have you disabled all caching and swap files? Also enabled trim? All of these seem to have worked for me.

About the "dirty regions" settings on level 3. Is that needed? I think I used level 1 before, and thought the menus was smoother then. It might be it was a diffetent HTPC, but can it be this settings?

Try and tell us.


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - soder - 2015-08-28

More questions. I bought two exact same NUCs, NUC5CPYH, and both are now running this version of OE with the changed to autostart and advanced settings made.

One TV is an old plasma with 1024x768, and it's running at resolution 1080p@60Hz. During a movie it changes to 24Hz and all that...
The other TV is an newer Samsung UE55HU7505 with 4k resolution. When going in Kodi settings, video settings, where I normal change if the TV gonna get a 1080p or 720p resolution and where I can change the refresh rate to the TV (for the menus), both resolution and refresh rate are greyed out?

What about that?

Also, one of the NUC, the one with 4k, is really laggy. It's running OE from a USB. The other, connected to the old plasma is running from a class 10 SD-card, not that laggy.

The NUC connected to the plasma is mostly running at full cpu speed, 2.2 Ghz (strange?) but the NUC connected to the 4K-TV is mosty running at low 860 Mhz (that might explain the laggy experience...)

What can I do about this?

But since you wrote in the "how to" to use level 3, I wonder it that is something I need for something to work?

Your lenghty post is off topic.
DR 3 is a sane default, 1only render dirty cells. So try it.

My beebox N3150 has arrived today.
With ubuntu 15.04 and first post parameters : HEVC 4K rocks Smile on my panasonix ax800 (4k@30 max with hdmi) .
If I use DP can I get 4k@60, I don't have a DP cable to test so if someone has the answer ...
Another question, is .ts container not supported ? With openelec/rpi2 I don't have any problem. Here with ubuntu/kodi I had to convert .ts to .mkv ?

Thanks to all the developpers for the great job.

Not a Debug Log. I See many issues with .avs file. Please enable Debug Log logging and only play the ts. Any other TS you can try? What does ffprobe or mediainfo tell?


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fab67 - 2015-08-29

The .ts I try where from http://www.demo-uhd3d.com/categorie.php?tag=hevc
