I just built/installed 18.0b1 on a RPi3 and noticed that some videos are unwatchable with the same settings I had enabled under 17.6. Disabling the "allow hardware acceleration-OMXPlayer" while leaving the "allow hardware acceleration-MMAL" enabled seemed to fix it for some, but others are unwatchable with OMX disabled or enabled.

To keep this simple, please consider a video shot on an iphone 4 to start with. Here I need to disable OMX or else it gets choppy and hangs after a few sec of playback. Under 17.6, no issues.

Is it just rotated videos that have the issue?
Are you building from upstream kodi tree? Any different when building from https://github.com/popcornmix/xbmc/tree/newclock5 ?

graysky · (This post was last modified: 2018-08-19, 23:34 by graysky.)

@popcornmix - I am building from the tagged github release (https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/archive/18.0b1-Leia.tar.gz).

Other videos do the same as well, not just that one that had the rotated content (see below for media-info on one such example).

I can try building from your fork... building 20eb4915 right now; if it completes I will post back.

I seem unable to build. I have the libbluray package my distro provides installed, but it does not contain mpls_data.h it seems. I am looking for a way to use the internal version currently.

There is no internal libbluray version. Either you use our whole depends system or fix you system library.

graysky · (This post was last modified: 2018-08-20, 00:36 by graysky.)

@Rechi - Not sure why the distro package doesn't provide that file... it [the distro libbluray package] is built to my eye correctly:

Code:
./configure --prefix='/usr'

make

make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" install

Yet, it is not included in the package:

As you aren't trying to compile code provided in the xbmc/xbmc repo on GitHub, I won't help you. You have to ask the author of that code for help. AFIK it uses a patched libbluray version, so you have to apply those patches too.

**popcornmix** · 2018-08-20, 14:59

Yes, newclock5 includes patches to libbluray (and ffmpeg). You need to rebuild the "depends" libs as well as kodi.

@Rechi - The issue I am experiencing is with the xbmc/xbmc 18.0b1 build. I am not using patched libblurray with it, just the distro default. I am most interested in helping to troubleshoot it since it is the main project.

@popcornmix - Since I cannot easily compile your build, do you have any insights into the issue I am experiencing using the xbmc/xbmc build?

Correct. I successfully built xbmc/xbmc (no build errors). @popcornmix was the first to reply asking me if his version also gave the video tearing I reported so I tried to build his subsequently. My RPi3 is running xbmc/xbmc code for 18.0b1 (f08d868).

To be totally clear: I am seeking feedback on the video tearing I am experiencing is with it, not on compiling @popcornmix's fork Smile

In order to solve that compilation error you'll need to build libbluray 1.0.2 with popcornmix's patches and install it.

Most probably you're trying to build his fork.

graysky · (This post was last modified: 2018-08-21, 22:38 by graysky.)

@KlotX - I agreed. But my original issue is not with building it's actually the video tearing... I'm afraid this thread has gotta tainted with the compilation. I will change the title and start a new one fresh to keep it on target.

EDIT: I asked to have this thread deleted.

Let me know if you need help with compiling it on the pi. I can help you with that.
