We'll try again with schedutil in 4.8.

well, something to look forward to.

on a side note, "every time" I reboot I get the message about the game repository add-on not being compatible and automatically being disabled.
when I look at the add-on it's it's still enabled but all options except updated and auto-update, are greyed out.

and a cosmetic side note, the LibreElec boot logo is squashed (height vs Width)

Ever since #824 in the Mythtv pvr I can not access my recordings folder. #823 is fine and confirmed. Do the PVR addons need to be updated? Here is a debug log.

Yes, it's annoying and hopefully something that will be fixed in the change that introduced this behaviour.

As for the boot logo being squashed, some devices simply boot into weird default resolutions - it's likely a combination of your TV and/or your device/BIOS settings. You can try forcing a resolution by adding "fbset=1080" or "fbset=720" to the kernel command line (syslinux.cfg or extlinux.cfg, depending on your installation).

[jan-g]

@Milhouse

I only mentioned the squashed logo because some time ago I tried one of the "official" alphas (think it was alpha 2) and this dripping logo had the right proportions.

@wizziwig: Please check the nightly build, milhouse included the 8bpc patch chris wilson posted.

That patch does nothing. I think he has a bug in the code. I will post on the tracker.

Regardless, even if you correct the patch, all he's doing is disabling deep color (36-bit) output. That won't matter for Kodi today because your frame buffer is 24-bit anyway. In the future if Kodi decides to use a 30-bit or higher frame buffer for HDR, etc. you will be faced with the same bug again. Better if Intel fixes this properly now.

Yes. It's a shortterm solution. The idea was: Don't run 36 bit if the framebuffer is 24 bit only. We will see. I would be happy to get a working version of this patch into kernel 4.7 stable - so that LE has that fixed. Perhaps some background: Currently the following happens: The 8 bit input is interpolated to 12 bpc and then later down dithered to the display - which I find quite suboptimal, especially in combination with kodi where we only output RGB 8 bit.

I'm just building a htpc and have been following this thread. is the amd rx 460 supported yet in these builds?

[wizziwig]

Agreed, the patch is the right thing to do when using 8-bit FB. It's also more bandwidth efficient. In Windows, Intel doesn't output 12-bit over HDMI unless the frame buffer format is 16-bit floating point so no sense doing anything different in Linux.

I'm still trying to work on the original bug and need some accurate timings of the screen refresh rate. Is that displayed somewhere inside the Kodi UI or from shell? I need something measured with a timer. Not the theoretical refresh that's computed from the modeline parameters. I need the real-time delta between v-syncs or true FPS.

If there's a similar measured audio rate that would be helpful too. When you tell the hardware to play at 48,000 samples per second, there is usually some drift in the clock due to temperature variation so it ends up playing at like 48.050 for example. Is that measured and reported somewhere?

I believe so: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n...is-Updates

Linux 4.7.2, Mesa 12.0.1, latest available amdgpu 1.1.0.

(Don't blame me if you buy the card and it doesn't work, although we'll happily work with you to get it working!)

You can "misuse" ActiveAE for measuring it. Basically turn off Sync Playback to Display and see how often the clock gets corrected. Btw. chris pushed the original hdmi-audio tree, which is now building fine.

Confirmed in 827 as working. Thanks Milhouse and team!
