Linux VAAPI: Nuc, Chromebox, HSW, IVB, Baytrail with Ubuntu 14.04

My TV is calibrated using the files from here
The only way (and I think I tested all combinations) to get a proper output is:
Output Full RGB levels
activating the limited 16-235 output inside Kodi
disable VAAPI Renderer
Under these circumstances I get BTB, WTW and a nice, smooth grayscale.

Yes, sadly. VAAPI does a rgb conversation when we call vaPutSurface. The api gives us absolutely no influence concerning this, it's not avoidable. Your workaround is the only valid one, as that takes another path to output (with higher cpu load).

For the R1 DVDs we need a sample I think.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.
