Don't forget that one ontop: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/10289 (which I just pushed).

Perhaps someone also realized on his / her Braswell. For me it seems, that after some time I get high skips with Lanczos3, because the GPU seems to downclock to a lower frequency, I fixed that by:

Code:

echo 500 > /sys/class/drm/card0/gt_min_freq_mhz

This increases the 320 Mhz (default) to a minimum of 500, while the highest value is 640 Mhz. Handle with care and check your temperatures.

On a new clean install do I need "standard system utilities" on 16.04? I don't remember seeing that option in 14.04

I imagine it was there, as I used parted before in 14.04?

[fritsch]

Can't remember - tell us afterwards, please.

Works fine for me. I applied this http://sprunge.us/PQMf already and did not notice any visible stuttering with my testfile even with Lanczos3 enabled.

There are framedrops of course but I didn't notice when watching. Way better than before. I think Millhouse's build tonight will be a very solid one for Braswell users.
Thanx for all the time you all spent to make Kodi the best HTPC experience you can have.

@fritsch @wsnipex - Something wrong with the PPA? No new builds in last 2 weeks :-(

[fritsch]

wsnipex on holidays.

Hey new member here. Just want to say great job, this thread rocks!!!!!!!!!!! Exactly what I was looking for. I hope to contribute soon.
Hooked up 2 Intel J1800 Celeron boxes per instructions replacing OpenElec. Installed debugging software and will have logs to report back
with after analyzing the data.

Great Job fritsch & crew

yadif freezes kodi. I notice process info keeps switching from deinterlace to none and the screen strarts flickering.

[fritsch]

Deinterlacing is currently WIP - we change some fundamentals. Will hopefully be fixed next week.

[rome]

ok

Hi there,

after a long absent , i have some free time and tested 16.04.1 and kodi 17.
Installed everything as stated on post#1 and it kind of works. But it seems the Deinterlace Option is missing in newest build ? Can't find the option.

Switched the ppa to unstable -> beta1 ( Shouldn't the egl stuff in there too lately ?).
Now the Deinterlace Option is back and i configured it as stated in Post#1.

But when checking "Player Process info" whiling playing video, it states "Vaapi (HW) , but "Deinterlace-MethodÖ none" . Checking Video Options states "Vaapi - Motion compensated".

Any hints ?

[fritsch]

Read the post - right before you.

[Markus_23]

Ah, sorry . bit late yesterday ;-)

Nevertheless It should be possible to use the unstable branch till Krypton Official Release, isn't it ?

[fritsch]

Yes, of course. All that we wanted to get (feature wise) is in.
