Hey there,
I think it's great and important that you're working on this. Good 3dlut support would've finally caused me to switch from W7 to Linux.
Unfortunately, it's not there yet and so I'd like to share my experiences comparing W7 (MPC-HC & madvr) to the latest Kodi nightly on Linux Mint.
This was the file I tested with: https://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/53...ddplus-5-1
My LUT is about 96MB in size.
System information:
Motherboard: ASRock H110M-ITX
CPU: Intel G3900T
RAM: 16GB
GPU: Intel Integrated (1GB shared VRAM in Windows, 256MB in Linux - as far as I read, one can't change that and people think it's good that way)
In Windows, it plays just fine and CPU usage is on average at ~20%.
Linux - lots of stuttering, CPU usage at ~50%. (And even without 3dlut, the CPU usage is at ~50%, there's still slight stuttering and a lot of frame tearing)
Screenshot of the system monitor: http://i.imgur.com/I7xNJUT.png
I don't know whether any of this is something new to anyone here but I hope that it'll either somehow help development or that you have a special trick you can tell me to magically speed up things because I'd really like to finally ditch Windows. But being able to play movies in good quality is more important to me than security...
