If I had a smooth ramp before this build with VAAPI enabled, will it still be smooth after? Or has something changed to make it different?
I had to enable full RGB via SSH and an autostart script, and choose the limited palette in kodi settings previously to achieve a smooth ramp.

Hurray. Can I thank everyone for their immense efforts in cracking this. It's a brilliant result and really appreciated by all of us I'm sure. fritsch - as ever thanks for banging your head against a brick wall until it broke (the wall, not your head I hope)
Will try thank Chris. Is #intel-gfx an IRC channel?
My Acer Chromebox with VAAPI Motion Compensated and Prefer VAAPI Render Method enabled is sitting with both cores around 15-20% when playing 25Mbs H264 native interlaced 4:2:0 1080/50i stuff and not a hang in sight so far with the experimental OpenElec build posted a couple of messages earlier in the thread. This really makes the Chromebox a brilliant solution. HD Audio, Bluetooth and Wifi, fast SSD (OpenElec boots incredibly quickly), HD Audio AND high quality de-interlacing :-)

Yes, #intel-gfx, his name is ickle there.
Now let's hope we get the IVB /SNB deinterlacing also fixed, that would be really nice for such hardware. (Though not chris's territory).
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Post the logs thread 1 wants.
Also include DISPLAY=:0 /usr/lib/kodi/kodi-xrandr | pastebinit

No, it's very fine doing it standalone.
Login via ssh and execute the commands.

All the other logfiles are still missing - cannot say anything. Set xbmc to debuglogging, restart, play something that shows the issue (e.g. non refreshrate switching) and post the logfiles thread 1 wants.

I don't see anywhere that the stream's refreshrate is announced. It seems to be unknown. It's a problem with the content.
Workaround: Set the TV refreshrate to 50hz, menus will be fast and you don't need to switch anything for the live tv content.

Yes, I set my TV to 50 Hz, but I prefer 60. So the problem is Kodi or maybe the backend??
Thanks.
