KabyLake can decode hevc 10 bit. But if you did not buy yet - better invest in Coffee Lake.

anthonytex · 2017-11-29, 17:54

Good evening, I'm here again to ask an (another) question about deinterlacing (just to satisfy my curiosity of learning Smile

and acive better results with kodi) In a system with an intel kaby lake CPU, and an Nvidia Pascal GPU, i'd prefer to use vaapi (and so Intel processor) with mcdi than vdpau with spatial/temporal Deinterlace because MCDI should be better than Adaptive Deinterlace: am I wrong? What would you suggest? Thank again for the time Smile

I thought Coffee Lake and Kaby Lake were identical in terms of graphics with the same gfx core?

I have installed 17.10 on a apollo lake machine and if I install lirc it messes up totally. It gets 'stuck' on any button down. It repeats forever. If I remove lirc it works better but only a few buttons work in kodi.

Is there a mapping file I need to make it work in kodi with ir-keytable instead of lirc? And if so where can I find a ready made one?

Good that lirc is obsolete nowadays :-). Please open your own thread.

((( atom ))) · 2017-12-02, 18:57

I just figured, that updating an older git version (already kodi 18) to todays version gives me a black picture. Took me a while to figure that using color-management is the cause. Show-stopper for me, since I am actually using a 3d-lut.

Since in the original 3d-lut thread I got the opinion that this feature is not really maintained, does anyone here know if there is a chance it will be fixed or might it even die?

Hello!

When I play 4K HEVC 10 bit content, I get errors on screen (see sample screenshots below, better than a wordly description) after a few minutes of perfect play.
If I stop playing (not pause) and restart/resume, it's back to normal without errors for a few more minutes before it comes again.

It does that on all similar 4K HEVC 10 bit stuff. All good with AVC 1080p.

I've tried 2 different TVs with the same results.

I've hopefully provided all the requested info below.
I'll be happy to provide more on request.
I am no coder, but given instructions I can build a kodi, test and report back.

Many thanks!

Can you check the temperature? (sensors) - also make sure that scaling is set to bilinear, cause all the NUCs are on average too slow to properly handle 4k (be it 4k input or even 1080p to 4k output) with the Lanczos or better scalers.

Edit: Btw. turn off component logging - nobody can read through all the ffmpeg clibber :-)

**fritsch** · 2017-12-10, 12:19

And something else: If you playback these files with Adjust Refreshrate disabled - so that the play at 1080p resolution - does something change? (Make sure to use bilinear scaling).

camelreef · 2017-12-10, 16:50

Hello!

Thanks for looking at this. I will look at the CPU temp, for sure. (I am afraid that it makes too much sense... I would have prefered a bug, it's more fixable!)

Also the TVs are 4K.

Nico

camelreef · 2017-12-10, 18:56

Hello again,

First, here is a log without components:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/26156960/

Then, I've monitored the CPU temp (Core 0, arbitrarily) using lm-sensors. It rarely goes high, playing 4K on a 4K TV only marginally increases the temp. There are some short lived temp increases, but they do not correlate with the artefacts/error seen on screen.

Each graph shows about a minute of monitoring.

I've set scaling to bilinear, no change.

I've set the fan/cooling profile from balanced to cool in the BIOS, no change.

Here are 15mn worth of sample.

It will take another 45mn to upload fully - Now all uploaded.

I won't be near a VAAPI capable hevc-10 bit computer until end of this week. Perhaps someone reading this thread with Apollo Lake, KabyLake or Coffee Lake could test it for you. I will ask in our team channel if someone with e.g. Android could also test it to see if those artefacts are VAAPI only. In short: don't feel forgotten if you don't get a reply in a timely manner.
