I upgraded to Kodi Beta 1 and have noticed on all my videos that there is very noticeable flicker on bright areas of the picture intermittently. Even when video is paused. I am using a sony bravia tv and the other sources are fine so it is not the backlight going. I downgraded back down to kodi Alpha 4 and it is fine again. Could it be to do with the FFmpeg 2.4 upgrade?

I'm having the same issues on Kodi beta for PC. I've tried changing my output settings but it's till a problem. It's HDMI to a receiver then to a Panasonic plasma TV.

Is downgrading to the Alpha 4 the only fix?

Yep me too. It's kind of like a subtle strobe.

why beta1 when beta2 is out and soon beta3? Please test those and report back if still happens

icetech · 2014-11-16, 19:38

Wouldn't todays nightly be the newest version?

BTW... came back to post my setup
i7 with a 260x radeon playing into a mitsubishi projector... just wondering if we might have a common hardware issue..

nightly is fine to try yes.
if still happens then please find which build does/doesn't work so they can narrow it down.

also please provide Debug Log on xbmclogs.com in case it happens

Just for anyone looking in to this I find it most obvious in animated shows. Family guy is a good example.

Update to catalyst 14.9 and issue should go away.

I'm still using 13.12 due to poor OpenCL performance on the 14x versions. I guess this can't be fixed?

I am also in a similar predicament as my gpu is old and the CCC support stopped at 13. However I have found a workaround: set the video rendering mode to software. So far I haven't had any more issues with flickering and haven't noticed any change in performance. Big Grin

Ya, it works fine in software, but then you lose DXVA-HQ (gpu vector adaptive) deinterlacing.
