RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - icebaer - 2015-10-13

I'm already using this drm_kms_helper within grub.cfg to be able to switch display off and on again without loosing connection Wink
But I'll have a look at the howto.

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Try changing:
Code:
drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-3:edid/edid.bin video=HDMI-A-3:e try changing it to:

Code:
drm_kms_helper.edid_firmware=HDMI-A-3:edid/edid.bin video=HDMI-A-3:D

Also make sure that edid.bin is already available in initrd.

For the OpenELEC howto:http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/Configuring_a_Custom_xorg.conf#tab=Intel (custom edid)
For the Ubuntu howto: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=174854&pid=1824527#pid1824527 (change the :e to
Code:
:D
)

Bad smileys Wink

I tried to follow the howto for ubuntu, but without success.
My VNC client opens a new window... just for closing it right afterwards.

So for now, it might be easier to just access it physically this evening Wink


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2015-10-13

Post dmesg | pastebinit _with_ the workaround applied, please.


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - icebaer - 2015-10-13

Here it is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12771909/


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2015-10-13

All fine. Provide DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --verbose | pastebinit

after booting up ...


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - icebaer - 2015-10-13

This might do without pastebinit Wink

Code:
$ DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --verbose
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyCan't open display :0



RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2015-10-13

Yeah, then the display it not up at all ...


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2015-10-13

If you are not logged in, then it won't work obviously ... so provide Xorg.0.log and the above command run as root.


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - icebaer - 2015-10-13

I really appreciate your help, fritsch!
But i think we're getting too far of the VAAPI-road Wink

So I'll check if i can change refresh rate in System -> Settings -> Video Output and post the result.

If not - check to see if you can change the "Display" in that config. I have seen heads added twice in there, but only one with multiple refreshrates.
One step further Smile
Looks like it is really a problem with multiple outputs.

All looks good, if i start PC and beamer at the same time. But when the beamer is on and i restart the PC, only one refresh rate (60Hz) is available.
Seems as if the PC is choosing a different ouput, when the beamer isn't available yet.

In both cases I can only select HDMI3 as output.

So.. what do you mean with "change the Display in that config"? Which config?
Where have you seen mutiple entries with different refresh rates?
Do you know how I could force one output to be used?

So many questions.... Wink


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2015-10-13

No idea. Open a new thread, please with Debug Log from the starts.


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - meowmoo - 2015-10-13

For some reason the projectM add-on is reporting a missing dll error, in both Kodi 15 and 16,

But is working fine on the beta 5 version

Here is the log from Kodi 15,

I revert back, because I need the box wife proof :-)

No idea yet ...

Edit: Err, an idea I have - though need to think how I can keep those compatible with upstream OE6's addons.

I've been running the updated vesrions of Jarvis without any major issues (installing the new updates every other day or so). This morning, after installing the new updates, video no longer launches. On the bottom of the screen it shows the play/pause bar but the rest of the screen never leaves the skin's movie/tv directory (shows show/movie icons, etc).

Any ideas? I followed the instructions on the first page exactly as they were written.
