I'll see if I can manage. Sound doable, if I struggle you will notice

Yeah - you can just visit me in #xbmc-xvba on freenode after 8 pm UTC and I can help you.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Lol :-) see first page. It's the same as the Beebox - will work fine.
Btw. _all_ ever released Intel hardware with vaapi profits from this new method. See post 1.

No - as you directly see when you press on commits. I only use the passthrough patch - my kernel repo is not up2date.

(This post was last modified: 2015-11-04, 23:22 by BigL-New.)
I've decided to use few more patches which looked to me as important generally or for BeeBox hardware (Nuvoton IR, MCE remote, HDMI audio etc.). My list of patches is as follows:
linux-003-no_dev_console.patch
linux-011-Thermal-initialize-thermal-zone-device-correctly.patch
linux-012-Thermal-handle-thermal-zone-device-properly-during-s.patch
linux-013-Thermal-do-thermal-zone-update-after-a-cooling-devic.patch
linux-054-nuvoton_revert_d7b290a1056c5564eec8a1b169c6e84ff3.6.114c13.patch
linux-057-Removed-MCE-customer-code-restriction-in-rc6-decode.patch
linux-990.06-hda-Avoid-outputting-HDMI-audio-before-prepare-.patch
linux-999.02-0001-pm-disable-async-suspend-resume-by-default.patch
linux-999-i915-implement-passthrough-colors.patch
linux-999-i915-use-legacy-turbo.patch
My custom kernel is compiled (i've taken config from your rc7), booted and works, so far everything is OK. So if you're interested i can send it to put on your website and maybe someone else would use it.

Nope - building a kernel is for personal education :-) - so you can mark that task on the TODO-list as done.

Rather redone - i'm Linux user for at least 20 years and in the past i've compiled kernel maaany times on many architectures ( for example i've hacked first divx players from brands like KiSS - internally the used Linux as well). But last few years with Ubuntu as mostly desktop user made me so lazy ;-) (and tools have changed also)

I'm seeing sporadic flickering display at all times using OpenElec builds, both Isengard and Jarvis. It seems like a driver issue, the flicker starts with the openelec logo, before X has even loaded. It almost looks like the GPU is overheating. Is this a known issue?
I was using a build from 10/04 [1] before I saw the issue, but didn't upgrade until 10/26 [2], so the regression could be anywhere in that (very large) window. I'd be happy to try to bisect if archived builds are available. Reverting to the 10-04 build or the official OpenElec fixes the issue.
Hardware is an ASUS Celeron chromebox 2955U, connected via HDMI to a Denon AVR.

Not that this helps much but I have used a lot of builds including all the ones you mentioned and I have an Asus chromebox like you and a Denon AVR going to a projector but I have not experienced anything like what you mentioned.

I have an asus chromebox too, no AVR, just connected to a monitor for now. Never experienced any flickering either on either Isengard or Jarvis.
