I doubt it. I'm running the stock OpenElec image, so... whatever it configured. Chromebox i3 w/4gb 16gb SSD.
Turning off "Prefer VAAPI" stops the lockups.
I notice that rarely after the picture locks up (any user interface elements get stuck on as well), and I'm randomly hitting stop/power in the hopes of it doing something, the picture will go black and the TV will re-sync to a new refresh rate, but nothing will appear, and it will still be frozen.
I also notice that sometimes I see corruption in the picture when I'm seeking with VAAPI enabled - like a bit of garbled data, or a frame that seems to be two frames merged together. A few times it's frozen on that image. I don't see this with VAAPI disabled.
Again, it's harder to trigger this with low-bitrate files. But quite easy with high-bitrate files - I can usually get the box to lock up in a minute or two with a big file and a bunch of rapid random seeks.
