I'm a new Asus 2955u Chromebox user and just installed the latest standalone OE Helix nightly beta (10/30/14). I primarily watch recordings made by my TV tuner. Most of them are ATSC 1080i @29.97 interlaced video. When I select the most advanced hardware accelerated de-interlacing mode available: "VAAPI Motion Compensated", the Chromebox will hang after a few minutes of playback. This also happens with 1080i @29.97 Blu-Ray rips such as music concerts.
Is this a known issue? To verify that it was not an openelec bug, I ran the same build on my desktop haswell (4770k) and did not get any hangs with the exact same settings and video files. I know about the work-around of using software de-interlacing but I was hoping to use the higher quality and lower CPU usage HW modes.
