Considering doing a reinstall using this new method
Is the OP post still pretty reasonable to follow, or do I need to read through over a hundred forum pages of incremental changes to get to the latest best practice?
Thanks,
Matt
Business as usual, it's same sort of thing. Also gone from 14.04 ->

As you are a selfhacker and can easily install a 4.3-rcX kernel - you could tell us after you tried it, right?
I've Braswell and i've installed 4.3-rc4 from Ubuntu mainline ppa. Everything works ok. So i assume that once you move to final 4.3 and provide kernel image with passthough patch it could be used on all platforms.
RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2015-10-11
I don't plan to provide patched kernels for ubuntu. As said - this thread is about testing VAAPI features - providing a kernel and keeping it up2date is a lot of maintainance. Those that don't use OpenELEC can do that easily byself - as the kernel patch was pushed on my github:
Code:
git clone https://github.com/fritsch/linux.git
cd linux
git checkout v4.3-rc5-passthrough
cp /boot/config-`uname -r` .config
make oldconfig (Press return until finished)
sudo apt-get install fakeroot kernel-package
fakeroot make-kpkg --append-to-version "-passthrough" -j4 --initrd linux-headers linux-imagedone
RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - icebaer - 2015-10-11
Hi there,
I'm running the PPA version from post#1 (Xubuntu with Openbox session on N3150). All looks fine and the image quality is remarkably good!
But i'm having an issue with changing refresh rates. Adjust display refresh rate is set to "On start/stop". Sometimes kodi won't change the refresh rate, but stay in default mode (60Hz).
Currently I can reproduce it, by just booting into kodi, selecting any movie and playing it. After starting several other movies or by entering settings menu, sometimes the correct refresh rate will be used. But up to now, I could'n find any condition/action, which would activate the refresh rate again. To me it looks more of being random.
Logs are:
dpkg -l |grep mesa > http://paste.ubuntu.com/12750045/
cat ~/.kodi/temp/kodi.log > http://paste.ubuntu.com/12750051/
dmesg > http://paste.ubuntu.com/12750053/
(booting in kodi and opening "How_To_Train_Your_Dragon_2_t04.mkv", which is in 24p and sometimes also played in 24p)
RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - mattlach - 2015-10-11
Interesting. No need for the XBMC team PPA anymore, huh?

Nothing yet, this guide has been beautiful, thank you. Just looking to plant a seed in my mind such that if I ahve issues in the future, I remember "oh right, I should try advancedsettings.xml from the guide" :p

I'm sorry if this has been asked already, but I notice this installs a 16.0 alpha branch.
For plugin purposes, are Isengard plugins still compatible?

Hmm.
I just tried janbars mythtv plugin and it fails to load.
May have to revert then. My HTPC needs to be "significant other" friendly. In other words, it needs to power up, and janbars mythtv plugin needs to work every time.
As much as I hate to do it, I may need to fall back on OpenElec, since the old 14.04 guide is now obsolete.
Of course Openelec is still on Helix...
Are you aware of a good compromise? A way to do a Linux install like this, but based on 15.1?
RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2015-10-11
Use team kodi ppa instead of fernetmenta. Pvr addons are packacked by wsnipex for this howto here, so they actually are compatible.
