Intel NUC - Haswell (4th Generation CPU)
Thanks for the reply lmyllari

I totally agree with the drive to a simple switch (or no settings at all) to achieve the desired result (I can't imagine anyone would not want correct colours and black levels so I expect the only switch needed would be regarding hardware or software decoding).

I'm a bit lost when it comes to building versions and patching etc (in linux, I'm a windows developer by day) so I'm most likely going to wait until there is a simple update or version, with all fixes in place, that I can simply install, that is unless someone is kind enough to document their process and I'll happily follow that.

Just out of interest, if the same result could be achieved by hardware decoding, would there be any benefit to software decoding? I suppose for those who have a platform with sufficient CPU power but no suitable GPU decoding I guess?

Thanks again, I'll stay glued to the thread for updates.

And thanks to all involved for keeping this rolling at such a pace, it's impressive to see 'open-source' in effect.

I'm not sure if it's relevant to NUC, I'll need to take a closer look. Original bug report at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60769 states no output at all and kernel errors.

Are you able to build fritsch's commit? I can't at work, and I don't have ubuntu ready. I'd like to see if we can't get that tested. If not, I can liveubuntu and do it when I'm home.

Thanks

I'm on 3.13-git which includes those patches and they don't solve the HD audio problems.

Good news -- fritsch and the OpenELEC team just pulled Intel's patch into the OpenELEC main branch.

The next OpenELEC nightly should have it: https://github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv/commits/master

Outstanding work on all fronts. Hopefully this fixes things. Smile

So will this fix correct black levels with hardware decode? Any other outstanding issues after this goes in or can I take the plunge?

Thanks to lmyllari and Selene especially for really dogging this thing as well as lmyllari creating a patch to deal with this.

Yes, this is the black levels fix for HW decoding. Won't know what other issues exist until we all try it. Smile

VC-1's are still causing me grief running the OE fixes. Not sure what's going on. Going to grab the crashlog a bit later.

Strange you are having these problems, especially as we are on the same hardware. I have just finished watching a VC1 mkv movie again 1 hour ago, with no issues.

I am currently on the lmyllari build (which includes the color fixes Cool ), but the other nightlies were working as well.

Selene, I see you or someone removed the link.

Are test files not allowed to be posted? Just curious, as I almost posted a DTS-MA test file at one point.

I removed the link, if you want to test it shoot me a PM. I wasn't sure, myself, even though it's 1 minute sample, just wanted to be on the safe side? Not sure.

Yes, your VC1 + DTS-HDMA crashes xbmc.

To test, I have converted the DTS-HDMA to lossless FLAC. With FLAC, it works fine.

I am sending you the file in PM.

Sounds like a bug. If you can, turn on Debugging and capture the log file.
