Jitter on Debian, XFCE, Kodi 17.3
#1
Sad 
Hi guys,

I've got a problem. I've made new installations on two media center. Both running Debian (minimal install with xfce).
I have jitter on both systems (difference is only Intel i3 / i5). Before this new installation I used Ubuntu 16.04 and had no jitter.

Debug Log:

The jitter is constantly and looks like this (numbers are frame numbers)

...1 2 3 4 4 5 6 8 9 1 2 3 4 4 5 6 8 9...

It seems like 1 frame (nr. 4) is paused/doubled, and "later" (half a second maybe) 1 frame (nr. 7) is jumped over. I can see this very intense on smooth camera panning.

Kernel:
"uname -a" => Linux debian-pvr-tv 4.11.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.11.11-1 (2017-07-17) x86_64 GNU/Linux

my "apt/sources.list" has the additional entry (for Kodi 17.3 instead of 17.1):

deb ftp://ftp.deb-multimedia.org stretch main contrib non-free

It doesn't matter if it is a movie with 23,976fps or live-tv with 50fps.

Debug-Log is deleted...

I hope someone knows what causes the problem. Sad

Greetings, Pyro

Maybe this is a hint?

You run an unsupported build. Krypton was never intended to be used with FFmpeg != 3.1

Ok, thanks for the hint.

I will look how I can downgrade ffmpeg on debian...hopefully this is the cause for the jitter.

I've installed Xubuntu 17.04, with the official PPA
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu zesty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu zesty main

Still the same like above. And...I don't think its the TV, because the Samsung TV and the Benq Projector are showing the same behaviour.

...any other ideas?

new log would be a good idea. Also, did you try nightlies yet?

Just for your info:
Fresh install with Ubuntu (LXDE) 16.04 LTS, the official KODI 17.3, everything runs smooth now, no jitter.
Maybe the problem is the kernel, or intel-driver?

I like Linux, but ain't a pro, so I can't investigate further, sorry.
