In your opinion should everybody with newer hardware be running modesetting? Is there that much of a performance and or quality difference?

@ fritsch

In your opinion should everybody with newer hardware be running modesetting? Is there that much of a performance and or quality difference?

It's just a layer with less possible bugs. Kodi is a 3D OpenGL application. The most performance impact of the intel driver happens when running gtk2perf (2D - not relevant for us), cause the intel driver has an advanced SNA architecture with big bugs all around the place, see bugs.freedesktop.org and search for video intel. Modesetting is a clean driver developed very tight ontop of the kernel.

@millhouse, would you consider Kodi PR9731? I'm working to get it in shape for merging and more testing would be very welcome.

[Milhouse]

OK will include tonight after a quick test

@millhouse, would you consider Kodi PR9731? I'm working to get it in shape for merging and more testing would be very welcome.

Included in #0610. Please post details of what it does, what needs testing etc.

[Milhouse]

Attempting to use the shadertoy visualization or screensaver crashes kodi.

LibreELEC (Milhouse) - Version: devel-20160609210743-#0609-g61dbf48 [Build #0609]

crashlog: http://sprunge.us/heEZ

Yes, it seems to crash when ending a song. Any song, any codec/format. Needs reporting upstream (https://github.com/notspiff/visualization.shadertoy) as it seems to be an add-on issue/bug. Doesn't crash on RPi so may be GL specific.

[Tequilla9]

Here you are:

(Hope I have done it correctly)

Part 1 (Kodi and Sytem log): http://pastebin.com/hz7NUf9a

Part 2 (Audio, Journal log): http://pastebin.com/mnSgnbN7

Hope it helps to identify the problem. Please let me know when I should try something

thx
Volker

Thanks, please turn on debuglogging and play the file for longer (10 minutes), please., don't open the codec info screen, but press a remote button every time you see the stutter. Also disable ffmpeg's component logging that is spamming us like hell. Then please only post the kodi.log - the rest is not relevant for now.

OK. Here you are:

Kodi log: http://pastebin.com/7YyuU2EN

I pressed everytime I could see the stutter the Vol+ key, hope you can see whats going on there

Edit: After playing arround with the settings the only thing that solves the issue is to enable "Sync playback to display" - unfortunately there is no DTS HD passthrough anymore.

thx

@Fritsch: Have you already been able to check the log?

Hi Milhouse

Upgraded to LE #0610 tonight, and finally got Xonfluence for Kodi 17 running - Oh Happy Day

I seem to have a problem with the volume control on my remote... it responds by one step only, and does not recognize a continuous press. This is skin-independent - happening with Xonfluence, with Estuary and even with good old Confluence. Actually, I get the same behaviour with the GP-IR02BK handheld and the MS 1044 MCE keyboard.

I thought remote control bugs were recently squashed...

What can I provide to help troubleshoot this ?

Thanks

Auto-repeat is still a problem with kernel 4.6.2 for some users.

Discon method needs some hysteresis. DTS-HD is decoded lossless. So if you don't need the green light on your AVR - use PCM audio + Sync Playback to Display.

[flipside101]

Hi,

Has the "remote control sends keyboard presses" option been removed from kodi ?

the mce_kbd device is enabled and media keys work however normal keyboard keys dont hence looking for this
