New #909 does not show up in "available versions", 908 is latest showing. (I did perform a reboot)
Not a big deal for me, but wanted to let you know in case something is not right. As always thank you!

I figured out an alternative to that patch but still working out a clean way to add it to Intel's driver code. It fixes both the missing 44.1 kHz audio on some TV/AVR and the frame skips at 59.940 refresh. Original patch is not required so pipeline can stay at 12-bit like the stock 4.7 kernel. Dithering is disabled so I don't think it looks any different than 8-bit (at least on my TV). Extra bits are just padded. I only test on HDMI so your DisplayPort->HDMI setup might still have those two bugs I mentioned but should work as well as older OpenElec builds for you.

That 8-bit patch is still a good idea to keep in the long run since Kodi is unlikely to take advantage of 12-bit for a long time. Since I don't have access to any Intel DisplayPort hardware, you will need someone else to look at why it doesn't work for you. The DP code is very complicated to debug. Hopefully Intel can fix it.

But 10-bit is not that far fetched (already in play). So maybe get something in there that takes 10-bit in mind also.

I will try and see if the lpscon patch Milhouse put in there changed anything. Thanks for that btw Milhouse! Smile

EDIT: No change to the 8-bit patch issue for me with the lpscon patch there.

I can't speak to any newer generation Intel iGPU but Haswell and older don't support 10-bit HDMI at all. It's either 8-bit or 12-bit only. Any future 10-bit support in Kodi would need to use the 12-bit modes.

I uploaded my 12-bit color patches to the bug tracker. You guys can wait for Intel to decide what to do with them or try them yourself. They should be used instead of the 8-bit color patch. Don't mix them.

Let's wait on the intel guys. If there is a solution for all common modes (23.976, 24.0, 29.97, 59.94, 60.0, 120.0) we can ship that instead of the 8 bit only patch.

Is the 23.976 mode you generate with these fine, too?
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Ah. Ok Smile Then the patch makes something go wrong with signal sync when using LSPCON. And the LPSCON patch did nothing to help with that.

Not a big issue for me now. I just changed box to another NUC. But it could potentially be a bigger problem with next gen NUCs since Intel will use that same chip on all NUCs to get HDMI 2.0.

Thanks. Due to a hardware failure the build last night (and probably for the new few days) is using a slightly different release procedure (different server etc.), though not entirely sure why those files didn't update... will keep an eye on it tonight.

I only read it as the latter, unfortunately.

In terms of benefits, we'd certainly have a lot less Intel users if we remained on the older kernel as those users with modern Intel CPUs wouldn't be able to boot the older 4.4.x kernels. I'm pretty sure I couldn't sell them on the idea that we can't support their new CPU because @tinzarian won't be able to resume his old system.

@tinzarian: this is a bleeding edge testing thread - it even says so at the top of the first post. If you don't like the results then please quit whining and find a stable build to your liking.

Why are you so annoyed?
Obviously you are making a good job.
It is not your fault, when something is wrong with the kernel.
I hope that you maybe can contact the linux devs, to explain the Problem.
I´ll be waiting patient for a solution.

I'm not annoyed, just a little disappointed at the snotty attitude. What I've written above is my interpretation of @tinzarian's comment which boils down to there being no further progress for *everyone* while he's personally inconvenienced. I felt it important to reiterate that's not how these bleeding edge builds work, and anyone who doesn't appreciate that shouldn't be using them.

My patch does not affect refresh rate for any other modes besides 1920x1080p @59.940. Refresh rates for the other modes you listed were perfect with the stock kernel. Intel did a really good job providing exact hardware clock dividers for all the commonly used video modes (both in 8-bit and 12-bit). 59.940 was only broken because of a bug in their driver not selecting the right hardware clock divider when running at 12-bit.

My other patch to fix 44.1 kHz audio when running 12-bit only affects modes using a 148.352 or higher pixel clock. Only 50, 59.940, and 60.0 Hz modes use clocks that high. I tested all 3 of those modes. My TV does not support 120.0 Hz so 44.1 kHz audio is probably still broken in that mode.

Once we're sure that 12-bit mode is working correctly (so we can use it in the future), I would add a driver setting similar to the "Broadcast RGB" one. This will allow people to override this setting in case 12-bit looks worse on their specific TV. Maybe call it "Max Color Depth" and allow setting 8Bit, 10Bit, 12Bit, and 16Bit. Until Kodi supports more than 8-bit, we could also default this setting to 8Bit in LibreElec. The other method to do this would be with a custom EDID that removes the 30, 36, and 48 bit modes from your TV info.

This debug log is two issues: firstly for the "Set as default for all media" problem with the subs, I tried enabling subs and then opening the dialogue to set them as default. They are still not being enabled for all video content.

There's also an issue with fast forwarding. I FF'd at 8x for some time, then resumed playback at normal rate at which point both video and audio froze. I have observed this several times.

EDIT: And one more thing: the dim screensaver doesn't work, the dimming is not applied after the specified time.

Hello,

Maybe something has changed with AE audio system. I have DTS flacs music that my receiver played with no problem, but with 909 I only ear static sound when I play those files. The volume in Kodi is at max.

Sorry, no logs availables at this moment.

Thanks.
