I updated the builds once again. The "videos not starting in fullscreen" is fixed. In both the ppa and the OE builds.

Jap, confirmed working with skins other than Confluence. Thanks a lot @fritsch and @fernet!

Is there an OE build with that fix fritsch?

Thanks!

I shouldn't read late on Friday evening, I see the OE reference now, Sorry for the noise.

Just tried this on a Thinkpad T450 (Broadwell) connected to a Samsung U28D590D while playing Tears of Steel (very high bitrate H.264 4K video). Everything works perfectly (except for display rate switching on this particular screen, it only supports 60 Hz):

Yeah - 4k@60 output :-) Future we are coming. The architecture is fine.

BBB @ 4K 60Hz works just as good:

Can somebody explain what the benefit is of watching a 4k movie in 1080p resolution?


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2015-08-21

Benefit over what?


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - Warez - 2015-08-21

Over a 1080P Movie...


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - fritsch - 2015-08-21

No.

We implement the future architecture for VAAPI decoding and presentation. So imagine someone gives you the above bbb file with the 4k@60p and tells you: here can you play this for me? And you say: Yes, I can but I have to transcode it via handbrake to 1080p24 first - come back in 8 hours.

Playing 4k@60p files is a decoder "benchmark" nowadays, but reality in the future as this will be the default content. As most of us don't have 4k screens that can be driven with 60 hz - negge's results tell us: we are ready for the future. That's all about.

Ha cool... Wink i was just wondering..


RE: New Era: VAAPI with EGL interoperation - Roby77 - 2015-08-21

maybe a 4k source downscaled to 1080p is better than 1080p 1:1
or not ?
