Freeze image after channel switch
#1
Hi,

if i zap TV channels with my remote the video stream often freezes and audio continues normally.

It seems that sometimes synchronizing audio and video fails!
Code:

I've tried different VAAPI hardware acceleration options. But the problem is still there!
Do you have any suggestions?

I am running KODI 17.1 with VDR VNSI Client "version 2.6.19.1" on a Intel NUC5CPYH (Celeron N3050).

Thanks

the issue is most likely related to those vaapi errors your log snippet shows

Yes, i agree with that, but the VAAPI Error (25) doesn't help because it is a general error code!
See code documentation from freedesktop.org:
Quote:#define VA_STATUS_ERROR_INVALID_VALUE 0x00000019
An invalid/unsupported value was supplied.
This is a catch-all error code for invalid or unsupported values. e.g. value exceeding the valid range, invalid type in the context of generic attribute values.
By further tests i noticed that this error only occur by switching to SD channels (MPEG2).

But after 1-3 seconds audio and video are synchronized.

The problem with the freezing image only occur, when i switch from a HD channel to a SD channel.
Has somebody a hint, what else i can do to find the reason of this problem?
