I gave that a try, however it did not remove the delay upon restarting.

Debug Log will tell ... no need for speculations ... would save me 10 posts per day ...

Hello there,

I installed yesterday my Intel NUC NUC5PPYH. I have the last Jarvis Build taken. I had bought the NUC, because all write that there is no longer a banding. I have to test the movie Divergent instead played 01hour 04 minutes. The banding is just as bad as before with my NVIDIA HTPC. The settings are as described in Post. 1 and 2 I have attached a log file and a screen shot.

That could very well be banding in the original encode. It's extremely common in dark areas, especially on re-encoded material. You should test with a known quality greyscale pattern.

Sadly, I'm not capable in the type of programming required for this.

The you are doing something obviously wrong. Most likely then in your TV settings. We still have the possibility to use Dithering ontop if that also does not help - check your contrast settings on the TV. This code can remove Banding issues but not Layer-8 issues ...

@fritsch

hehe ok i will give that a try. The picture is taken from my tv, i will test it with my calibrated beamer.

LOL :-) Will do.

I just watched part of that movie. The banding is EXTREMELY bad in that scene, but we're talking being played back in perfect quality on a PC - so nothing to do with Kodi.

A review of the Blu-ray: http://bluray.highdefdigest.com/11701/divergent.html

"Most problematic is the many instances of glaringly obvious banding."

This is a source material problem. Kodi is merely accurately reproducing the original banding. :-)


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2015-09-24

Does dithering help in that case? If you also enable while using limited range?


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - Eisi2005 - 2015-09-24

@Sunflex

thank you to look for my problem. Now I'm a little calmer


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - Eisi2005 - 2015-09-24

@fritsch

No, there is no difference


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2015-09-24

if you can, cut out a sample then we can compare, you can use a statically build ffmpeg from e.g. here: http://johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg/releases/ffmpeg-release-64bit-static.tar.xz

and then do:

ffmpeg -i youvideo.mkv -ss 01:32:30.0 -c copy -t 120 output.mp4

This would copy 2 minutes starting from 1 hour 32 minutes and 30 seconds ...

@fritsch

i´m a absolutly linux noob. is there something i could do with windows ?


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2015-09-24

The very same? Just use the windows binary: http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/

and your powershell. As windows user that should be no issue for you.
