I'm not seeing Video -> Acceleration (Turn on Expert Settings view) and enable "User SW Filter". Which setting specifically?

Quote:An Intel Linux video driver bug ( https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78960 ) causes intermittent freezes/pauses.
Workaround: (OpenELEC) enable the 'Use SW filter for VAAPI' option Settings-->Video-->Acceleration.
Workaround: (XBMC 13.2+?) disable the 'Prefer VAAPI Rendering' option Settings-->Video-->Acceleration.

What should be check and what should be uncheck?
Thanks!

deselect 'Prefer VAAPI render method', everything else is fine.

It's the el-cheapo HP Celeron. The i3 Chromebox is a bit spendy, no? Almost in Intel NUC territory. .
Now, I didn't buy this for 4k video performance... but kind of funny that the real issue is with measly 1080p content! When you have a great external hardware scaler, it frankly makes no sense to burden your media player with those duties... especially when it's not going to do anywhere near as good a job (and that's even if the better methods were usable).

Upscaling from 1080p sucks! It's blurry as all heck compared to letting the TV do the job. The only scaling modes that perform at full framerate are the bottom two, the "better" upscaling modes seem to top out at 15-16fps performance, which as you can imagine isn't exactly acceptable.
What I wish... is that XBMC would simply start allowing resolution switching based on video resolution. There may not have been much reason for that before, but it's otherwise a huge pain to have to manually change to 4k to watch a 4k video, and then go back to 1080p for everything else.
