Colors are correct!
Software decoding now has multithreading option that works!
I was able to fully decode the two 40Mbps clips I tried.
My setup: Intel Haswell i3 NUC
If I could get the RGB level signaling working, I could use your setup and hack it to tell my monitor to use limited range - no banding, perfect picture. For monitors that default to limited range, that's not necessary. Not much progress yet, but Intel engineers are responding, see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71769
To get hardware decoding working, I'm trying to modify libva-driver-intel to use bt.709 coefficients instead of bt.601. This would of course be just a workaround, since SD material needs bt.601. It might still be useful for those of us that mainly watch HD. There is a bug open about the issue (which should be fixed properly), but no response yet; see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71719
The CIR issue doesn't seem to be going anywhere. Maybe something could be added to the nuvoton-cir driver to detect the problem and work around it. Trying to get something from Intel at https://communities.intel.com/thread/46259 but no luck so far.
The power off issues should probably be reported as a kernel bug. I don't have any details on that yet.
