Hi,
I’ve been using kodi for years (around 10) on different devices (mainly Raspberry Pi).
Recently I decided to upgrade my Raspberry Pi 4 to a little more powerful Intel J4105 device (Dell Wyse 5070) because wat started as a small media player in the living room with the raspberry pi 1 took over more an more task over the year. As a holiday project I wanted to replace the RP4 by the Dell Thin client.
Yes, I could have split up the task between different devices but I want to keep the power consumption low.
Anyway, all my other services are running in the meantime but Kodi giving me headache.
I got it installed without any problems on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS following an instruction I found on the web for Ubuntu server. I was happy and set up all the other stuff. Yesterday – I was really close to finishing the project and physical replacing the RP4 – I tried to play a video and it ran for around 5sec before the playback freezes with 100% CPU load. Kodi is still responsive but the playback hangs.
I expected hardware acceleration wasn’T working, checked the web but couldn’t find a good/working solution. I ran into this one as well and tried some stuff mentioned there.
As I’m not totally new to Linux but far from being an expert installing the correct driver and setting them up isn’t that easy for me. Also, I’m not sure if this is really about the drivers. I followed some guides for installing the Intel drivers and the VA-API.
Not sure if this is setup correct and if this is driver problem or an Kodi (configuration) issue.
Logfile is provided, I started the playback around 2023-01-04 19:39:00.771, local file to ruled network issues out.
If anything is missing just let me know and I’ll provide additional logfiles or information.
I fear I might have chosen the wrong OS (version), the RP4 ran on Raspbian and I’m used to Ubuntu so for me ubuntu server was the first choice. I’d like to avoid setting up the system again, this would be my last choice.
Any ideas/suggestions?
