It does not happen with my latest skylake setup ...
UPDATE:
It does work for me. When i power up the NUC first all modes are in place.
Thank you.
BTW.: There is a big performance boost compared to the current OE "stable" version.

The Jarvis Intelbump build seems more stable. I haven't been able to reproduce the flashing gui, locked up gui, black screen, or crashing video playback on start. I'll run this build for some time, let's see if it keeps up or if I just had luck tonight.
My XBMC / Kodi history.
XBMC for XBOX -> XBMC for Windows -> XBMC for Android -> Kodi for Android - > Kodi v16 OE (Amlogic) -> Kodi v17 LE (NUC 2x) -> Kodi v18.5 LE (NUC 2x)

Only single change in this build: the intel xserver driver ...

having gotten a new 4k TV, i am looking at the upgrades for my Kodi device to keep pace.
"simple" question is: is the work being done here to enable 4k@60 / 2160p@60? or just to enable HW decoding of hevc / h.265 (probably at 2160p/30)? or to get highest of either profile with HW decoding?
i have been looking at the asrock n3000 (preferred as silent) or n3150. this thread is long, and also i am unable to search for just "60" as the search criteria is 4 characters plus. also do not think the information is contained in the opening threads.
i understand that video playback really only requires 30fps, but trying to future-proof as much as is possible, whilst also maintaining a reasonable budget...
thanks

I don't understand your questions, they don't make any sense - retry, please.

let me try to rephrase... when i say "this thread" or similar, i mean to encompass the work you are doing generally.
1. this thread is to [only] enable HW decoding of 4K / UHD? rather than CPU decoding.
2. what profile / quality is either possible or the goal with this thread? 2160p at 60fps, 2160p at 30fps, or something else?
3. which devices are capable of profiles above?
4. i have seen posts here, and elsewhere online, that the ASRock N3000/3150 is only capable of 30 fps. is this a HW restriction, or something you are resolving with this thread / work? this is the device i have been researching the most currently.
5. what is lost / gained with only 30 fps? video playback should be fine at this level, from what i read.
hope its clearer...(?)

1.) yes
2.) Decoding 4k@60 hevc and 4k@60 h264 - output with N3000 / N3150 max 30 fps at 4k (hw hdmi limitation of those chips)
3.) None if you consider to output 4k@60p you need an Nvidia / AMD Gpu
4.) The N3000 / N3150 can only output 30 fps at 4k which is a limitation of the hdmi chip. It can decode 4k@60 h264 and hevc
5.) You drop half the fps if you have 4k @ 60p content ... I don't suggest to run the device in 4k@30 mode anyways cause most content is not 4k at all

thanks guys. very helpful with a very long thread.
i will keep following before making my purchase decision, if any. purely for silent HTPC video playback, so this should be what i am after on a reasonable budget (circa £130 for barebones...).
just trying to get up to speed.

Did the intelbump jarvis build disappear? I didn't have a chance to pull it down. Any chance anyone still has it?
or did it make it into the main builds?
