@camelreef I just came home and tested the complete sample on my ASRock J4205. No problems at all. I use intel driver + DRI3 + a drm-tip kernel from some time ago. I am starting to think that something else on your system (running next to kodi) causes your issue by either blocking the CPU or even causing interference - DVB card? Some server process acting up?

I watched the complete 15 minutes. I also opened the OSD randomly, as the Codec-Info - no issue. Poor fox, nice eagle - funny how they got the camera on top of her (they told the eagle is a her). What an eagle fight - like Karate kid. Now I got hungry ;-)

Mesa 17.2.2
xserver-xorg-video-intel: 2:2.99.917+git1711090734.37a682~oibaf~z <- I recompiled fabio's latest version (but should work with everything else)
Kernel: drm-tip intel (2 weeks ago)
xserver: 1.19.5-0ubuntu2
vainfo: Driver version: Intel i965 driver for Intel® Broxton - 1.8.3
NFS-share via 5 GHz AC Bridge
DTS-HD passthrough enabled.

Well, the box is used for 3 things: Kodi, Roon server (well-behave in my experience, but I will give it a go with the service turned off) and Samba. I've cleaned-up a few other things that were running by default and knew I would not need (lxcf, snapd...).

Here is a ps -ef:

Hardware-wise, it's just the NUC (CPU, RAM, SSD) and an external USB3 HDD.
I'll put a 4K movie on the SSD, and get the somewhat CPU-hungry NTFS out of the way. But when I test the live nightly LibreELEC, it's the same disk and mount...

mesa: 17.3.0~git20171212+17.3.49a612d1-0ubuntu0ricotz~17.10.1
xserver-xorg-video-intel: 2:2.99.917+git20170309-0ubuntu1
kernel: 4.14.5 mainline
xserver: 1.19.5-0ubuntu2
vainfo: Intel i965 driver for Intel® Kaby Lake - 1.8.3
Files are local, but on an NTFS mount
No pass-through enabled

I kept playing/testing/logging this weekend, with the same results.

Also, that 15mn sample became a bit too short once I added the xorg-edgers PPA and other things, as the artefacts started showing after 30-40mn... Hence the switch to a full length movie, and my family getting very tired of Wonder Woman!
Wasn't it a crane in Karate Kid?



On a side note, the TV it's should be plugged into is a Sony Android TV. Guess what, Play Store -> Kody 17. I've tried it, pointed at the Samba share, perfect play of Wonder Woman 4K HDR... I have a fall back solution. Not one I would like to implement, though, as it would involve playing with ARC and such... But it works!
