RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v17 based on Ubuntu 16.04 server - fritsch - 2016-04-26
Radeon OSS with vdpau is trivial :-)
Follow the howto given in post one, but don't install libva1 and i965-va-driver but mesa-vdpau-drivers instead -> done and use VDPAU + VDPAU Mixer instead of VAAPI. That's basically it.

Thanks , and without Openbox ?
RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v17 based on Ubuntu 16.04 server - fritsch - 2016-04-26
don't start openbox but kodi --standalone and fine ...

Thanks for your assistance anyway.

I entered that on it's own and repeated the whole thing again and it worked.
So I persevered learning the quirks of vi and to my own disbelief of not necessarily knowing what I was doing, it worked a treat.
Thank you so much for your help and stirring me on.
You are a genius.

Cool - so now you have a fully working kodi up and running? If yes - you are the "oldest" documented low level kodi Ubuntu howto user :-) Well done :-)
RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v17 based on Ubuntu 16.04 server - reddreddington - 2016-04-27
Hehe
I'm the oldest Kodi Vaapi swinger in the west but so grateful for your help.
One last question if I may.
I tested that autostart worked after a reboot but I noticed that when I click the power button in Kodi, I only have the option to exit.
Is this normal or should I have the usual power off/reboot options as well?
RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v17 based on Ubuntu 16.04 server - wsnipex - 2016-04-27
double check that the pkla file you created in step 0 of the howto is correct and matches your username
RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v17 based on Ubuntu 16.04 server - reddreddington - 2016-04-27
I will do that.
Thank you.
Update: I checked everything it seems OK, so has me foxed.
I've managed to create a debug log on pastebin.
Not sure if it will give any pointers.

BTW When testing Kodi out I noticed that the colour reproduction was absolutely superb and beats a Windows Kodi installation in this respect hand down.
RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v17 based on Ubuntu 16.04 server - jeckyllhavok - 2016-04-27
Hi there,
i'm also affected with that silly BayTrail freezes on Ubuntu 16.04 server, and followed the tutorial on page 1.
Afaik on all Kernels >3.19
I'm running Kodi on a Zotac CI320 nano, and got random freezes from time to time watching videos.
I read about a potential Kernel patch here, i'm not that experienced (to be honest i'm not a bit) in compiling or patching kernels.
Can anyone tell me what i need to do in order to patch that damn thing so i get rid of the freezes?
Thanks in Advance

All of them include the BYT fix.

Wow, that was fast, thanks for that.
I will install the kernel and report back.
RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v17 based on Ubuntu 16.04 server - fritsch - 2016-04-27
If it does not work - you can still use the max cstate workaround ... which should not be problematic on a desktop box anyways, so report back if it still freezes.

Yeah i read abot, but i think it's a bit dirty, cause limiting the c statewill increase power and heat, which is not optimal in a passiv cooled machine.
I just installed your kernel, and will test for the next hours with several videos, hope it fixed the freezes.
RE: Intel VAAPI howto with Krypton v17 based on Ubuntu 16.04 server - jeckyllhavok - 2016-04-28
So, the freezes are still there, but just 1 every couple of hours.
With the shipped Ubuntu 16.04 kernel i got freezes every couple of minutes.
The last thing i saw in the kern.log was:
Code:
Apr 28 12:01:07 ubuntu kernel: [ 941.954662] perf interrupt took too long (2506 > 2500), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 50000but that occurs 7 minutes before the freeze
