Intel VAAPI howto with Leia v18 nightly based on Ubuntu 18.04 server
I have been looking into options for using an ASRock BeeBox as 4K media player, this thread suggested kodi would be ideal.

Installation on ubuntu server 15.10 according to the first post in this thread was no problem and I have video being displayed with hardware acceleration.

I specifically want to play back a series of video clips held on local storage in a play list. The problem occurs that between every clip there is a significant delay of 8-14 seconds before the video is shown for the next clip. The last frame of the previous clip is displayed along wit the Seek bar dialogue which flickers.

This seems to be tied into reconfiguration of the renderer at the start of every clip:

Code:
11:08:11 T:140022267225856   DEBUG: CRenderManager::Configure - change configuration. 4096x2304. display: 4096x2304. framerate: 24.00. format: VAAPI
11:08:11 T:140023847155840   DEBUG: ------ Window Deinit (DialogSeekBar.xml) ------
11:08:11 T:140023248713472   DEBUG: ActiveAE::SyncStream - average error of -77.310401, start adjusting
11:08:11 T:140023248713472   DEBUG: ActiveAE::SyncStream - average error -0.310401 below threshold of 30.000000
11:08:16 T:140022267225856 WARNING: CRenderManager::Configure - timeout waiting for state
11:08:16 T:140022267225856   ERROR: OutputPicture - failed to configure renderer

This will fail several times until the renderer is deleted and recreated.

Logs:

I have not read every post in this thread however I did search, there is one post that seems related but was reported fixed http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2107985 however the problem I am seeing does seem to be different in that I do have video playback working.

Any assistance in solving this problem would be appreciated.
