you can't run xrandr prior to starting X. Try ExecStartPost or use an autoexec.py from kodi.

If anyone else is trying this, your suggestions worked excellently after some tweaking.

ExecStartPost does, the trick, but - at least in my setup I need to sleep for about a second before running it, in order to allow X to initialize, I presume.

Also, Xrandr doesnt seem to exit cleanly, so I prefixed it with the "-" symbol, to let everything start properly.

My final working /etc/systemd/system/kodi.service for Ubuntu 15.04 with systemd looks like this:

Code:

[Unit]
Description=kodi-standalone using xinit
After=systemd-user-sessions.service network.target sound.target network-online.target

[Service]
User=kodi
Group=kodi
Type=simple
PAMName=login
ExecStart=/usr/bin/xinit /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/kodi-standalone -- :0 -nolisten tcp vt7
ExecStartPost=/bin/sleep 1
ExecStartPost=-/usr/bin/xrandr -d :0 --output HDMI1 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full"
Restart=on-abort

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

When I try to enable kodi-pvr-iptvsimple addon, I get this in the log:

ok, you are still using my fernetmenta ppa. Consider switching to the official team kodi ones.
Anyway, I copied the pvr addons over.

Thanks! I've switched to the official ppa.

I'm on Asrock Q1900-ITX bay trail, lubuntu vivid 15.04, kodi 14.2 stable and vaapi from wsnipex (1.5.1)

If I set deinterlace on with BOB method, as indicated on first post, videos are jerky...
No issue without deinterlace

[fritsch]

The howto _never_ tells to set Deinterlace to On - set it to Auto.

Deinterlacing is not useful for normal video content which is progressive.

As you are at reading the first post ... don't forget the part with the logfiles.

Sorry, my mistake

Thanks

Slightly off topic but MCDI on OE 6 beta 1 is working great on Ivy Bridge. That older hardware just got a new life thanks to your efforts fritsch! Also thanks to the other who worked on fixing this. Nice work.

[fritsch]

Not yet :-) - One little patch is missing, but yes. I pushed all the patches (we also have in libva-driver-intel) into OE's driver. Btw. if you follow the libva Mailing list Haihao just submitted those patches, including the "workaround" by AndyFurniss. So I will pick that one too into OE.

[fritsch]

I Prd to OpenELEC.

Wsnipex has updated the vaapi ppa with this workaround by Andy. So IVB/SNB should be very fine now.

[Frank-NL]

Cool, thanks! It just keeps getting better and better

@fritsch Do you have any news regarding the Braswell boards? I just can't see any new information from ASRock or Asus, and we are already at 9th May
The 3 announced MSI boards are not really interesting, so I really hope we will have something exciting from ASRock and/or Asus (DC input, optical out).

One more question: for Vivid Vervet is there anything needed to patch or modify or it should work with both HSW and possibly Braswell?

[fritsch]

Concerning Vivid I answered all those questions two pages back.

No idea - did not see any BRW news yet, sadly.

Here: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid1990573 (it needs special care for suspend / shutdown options, though) - minimal update instructions is three pages back.

Vivid: sorry, my mistake, I'm doing ten things at a time and missed this. Excellent, will look into this.

BRW: I hope there will be some news really soon. Do you plan to get a BRW board once it is released and test who it will perform?
