Hi guys

I have a small bug on 25 fps movie with kodi beta 1  (the problem doesn't occur on windows system with kodi 18 beta and doesn't occur on linux with kodi 17.6)
My rig : q9550 , AMD RX460 , ubuntu 18.04 (all drivers uptodate)

I ve some old files encoded in 25 fps (especially in low resolution , and only few in 720p) :  When I try to read a file encoded in 25fps , I have a thin green line flickering in the bottom of my TV.
I found a solution for 720p 25 fps : I added 720p50hz in white list and no more problem.

But on old movies , espcially 640x480 or smaller res ( or weird res like 720x404 (documentary) ) , I cant choose the resolution in white list
I had no problem with these movies in kodi 17.6 (or kodi 18 beta 1 under windows system) , it s very strange , problem seems to occur on linux system only.

Tonight I ll post a log when I read a movie encoded in 25fps but if you have any ideas , thank u very much.

Hi guys ,

here the log for a file (25fps) which has the problem :
https://pastebin.com/4neTvA8c

problem occurs only on 25fps movies which doesn't have whitelist on linux (especially weir resolution like 640*300 etc...)

I dont have this problem on kodi on windows10

thanks for all if you have any ideas

edit : same problem on beta 2 kodi for Linux

here the log for a file (25fps)

That's an incomplete log file. Problems can start at any moment.

Enable debugging, restart Kodi, reproduce the problem, and provide the full debug log. Thanks.

Might be a VAAPI problem with your AMD-CARD. Start kodi like this and test with VDPAU:
KODI_GL_INTERFACE=GLX kodi

Hi guys ,

thank u for all your answer.
@fritsch : ok I ll try this tonight but If I launch with vdpau , I think I ll lose full decode HEVC 10 bits
@Klojum : ok , I ll try to upload a complete log next time I launch 25 fps movie

[fritsch]

Yes, you will loose it. But as you did not provide a full Debug Log I could not suggest anything else.

[marcorel]

oki no problem , I ll check all these things tonight
thank u again

Hi guys ,

here the full debug log :
https://pastebin.com/9s3FVWg9
just after enabled debug 
the file in 25 fps is : Hokuto.No.Ken.La.Legende.De.Raoh.Vol01.MULTI.DVDRIP.X264-BOOLZ/blz-lldrvol01ep01.mkv
(still in vaapi , I ll check tonight for test with VDPAU)

thanks for all if you have an idea

This isn't a complete Debug log (wiki).

[Klojum]

here the full debug log :

It's simple... Don't cut off the header or tail ends of your log file. Or any other part. Send in the whole unedited log.

[marcorel]

ok , I believed it was better just after enabled debug mode ,  cos actually my kodi log has many and many lines since the beginning !
Tomorrow , I restart my kodi and I ll provide the full log log since the start with the problem on a 25fps movie  , no problem

[marcorel]

ok , here the debug log :
https://pastebin.com/CxcP7TiH

I completely restarted kodi , enabled debug mode , launched a 25 fps movie for few seconds - of course I saw the thin green line- , stopped the movie and finally stopped debug mode.

Please set your screen resolution to 1920x1080 @ 50 hz and disable Adjust Refreshrate please. Does it go away?

[marcorel]

yes !!!!! it goes away when I set my TV to 1080p 50hz  , absolutely no problem with 25 fps movie , no more thin green line on screen  (whatever the resolution of my "old" movie : 640x300 , 700x400 etc etc...)
(but I must go back to 4k60hz )
do you have any idea of this problem ?  
(on kodi 18 beta under windows 10 , no problem with 25 fps movie when my tv is set to 4k60hz)

[fritsch]

Not sure why you "must go back" as kodi's GUI has no 4k textures and scaling is quite primitive. Also for 4k resolutions it switches up automatically.

Never the less: Switch back to 4k@ 60 if you really want to, then go to the Whitelist and unselect 3840x2160 25 hz and try again.
