RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - meowmoo - 2016-01-11

I installed a OE7 version last night, but Hyperion (ambilight) don't like OE7, on "Wall views", (or) when there are lots of different colors on the side/top/bottom, Hyperion starts Flashing real Bad (any idea what can cause this?)

I guess there are no more OE6 builds Coming?


@ offtopic, Im using a Chromebox since 1+ Year and i'm still very happy with it

API change in RenderCapture, you need an update for amblight. We have informed all devs that use RenderCapture API. These builds are not really related to OE6 ... it's just fernetmenta's master. In short: nope.

Thanks for the info, i will keep an eye on the hyperion git, and stick to OE6 till than

Boblight has been updated for OE7 and has been working fine for me

Jep, Memphiz did this directly after the API change was pushed. The others need a bit of time - it's far to v17, so let's give them a bit time.


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - meowmoo - 2016-01-12

just a fyi,

OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-6.0-devel-20160107202854-r21637-geb33d65.tar and the .img.gz dont work properly its old but not save Tongue

first i burned the geb33d65.img.gz to a usb stick, and installed it on my chromebox, it booted fine, but i was unable to navigate in Confluence, after that i burned the usb again and installed again same issue...

so I burned the official OE6 to the usb stick installed/booted, all fine, i put the ...geb33d65.tar in the update folder and reboot... all looks good on start up, but Its impossible to install any addon from the kodi repo, always error/failed...installing from -zip worked fine...

I wiped everything again and installed OE6 and update to OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-6.0-devel-20160106165807-r21635-g66088ed.tar

All fine now :>

A Debug Log of all the issues would have been nice, without them - a fix is very unlikely.


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - meowmoo - 2016-01-12

I though no one cares about the "old" oe6 versions.

I can reproduce and post them tonight.

How can I post a debug log on a fresh install when I can't move around in kodi?


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2016-01-12

Ah okay - oe6 - mmh, they worked for me. Yeah, then let me rename the "safe" folder.

The last days i've been struggling to get hardware encoding to work on my new system.
I would like to transcode a tvheadend (ffmpeg) stream with x264_qsv to my Kodi mediacenter.
(uses mfx_dispatch and intel stack https://01.org/linuxgraphics)

Is it possible to use the custom kernel to support Intel Quick Sync Video (QSV) on my Ubuntu 15.10 Braswell N3700 system ?

My system has a vanilla 4.2 kernel, should i build a 4.4 kernel from source (https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v4.x/testing/linux-4.4-rc6.tar.gz) ?
or just:
wget http://fritsch.fruehberger.net/kernel/Braswell/linux-headers-4.4.0-rc6-fritsch1+_4.4.0-rc6-fritsch1+-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb
wget http://fritsch.fruehberger.net/kernel/Braswell/linux-image-4.4.0-rc6-fritsch1+_4.4.0-rc6-fritsch1+-10.00.Custom_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i *4.4.0-rc6-fritsch1*.deb

For the drivers is need as below ?
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/gallium-nine
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:commendsarnex/winedri3
sudo apt-get update
apt-get install mesa-vdpau-drivers
apt-get install wine (or should i install wine1.8 ?)
apt-get install gallium-nine xserver-xorg-video-intel mesa-opencl-icd

No plans to do so. You need to build it yourself. The rest of the ppas is highly experimental, handle those with care, it might break daily and also has no support within that thread. If you can mess with those - you can also easily build your own kernel (see a howto within this thread, search for make-kpkg).


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - zigzag930 - 2016-01-13

Using OELEC 6.0 to play HEVC encoded video on N3700 with s/w decoding - seems to be fine (for my sample files).

OELC 6.0 is working perfect for pass thru TrueHD and DTS-MA, including Atmos, so I don't want to screw that up. Only real reason for me to move to Jarvis (that I'm aware of) would be to do HW 265/HEC decoding.

Are the Jarvis Beta's supporting HW decoding for HEVC on Braswell?

Thanks.
