| 15:59 | andrewalker> | Hi. My Cubox TV with libreelec is freezing / stuttering with a few videos. If I restart the video, it freezes on the same parts. I had 3.14 kernel, just switched to xbian-4.10, same problem. I have tried all deinterlacing options, syncing refresh rate and not syncing, passthrough and not, etc... |
| 15:59 | andrewalker> | any ideas? |
| 15:59 | adalberto> | exit |
| 16:00 | andrewalker> | every time the video freezes, I get this on the log: WARNING: CRenderManager::WaitForBuffer - timeout waiting for buffer |
| 16:01 | andrewalker> | (on kodi's log, I mean) |
| 16:02 | andrewalker> | I can move this to #libreelec or #kodi if it's more appropriate, but I know it works fine on other devices, it's just broken on the cubox... |
| 16:14 | andrewalker> | vpeter: ping. you seem to be the expert on cubox + kodi :) |
| 16:42 | Artox> | andrewalker: it sounds like your issue is triggered by specific video files |
| 16:43 | Artox> | waiting for buffer - so something may be going wrong while decoding in hardware (might they be corrupt?) |
| 16:44 | andrewalker> | yeah, exactly, some specific videos. One of them I checked, it's a mkv encoded with AVC High@[email protected]. Although I'm not sure they are all in that format. |
| 16:44 | andrewalker> | they're not corrupt, because my mac plays them fine |
| 16:45 | andrewalker> | on kodi even |
| 16:47 | Artox> | well by corrupt I mean something that surprises the decode algorithm |
| 16:47 | andrewalker> | ah, then yes |
| 16:47 | Artox> | the interesting question would be if other embedded boards encounter the same problem |
| 16:48 | Artox> | smartphones are usually a good test |
| 16:48 | andrewalker> | hmm, that's a good idea |
| 17:09 | vpeter> | andrewalker: put some sample online so I can see i happens here also. |
| 18:02 | Ke> | heh, mbin price lower back to 350€ again |
| 18:10 | andrewalker> | vpeter: thanks for taking a look! https://we.tl/VtfbyZwTCs |
| 18:11 | andrewalker> | that one goes black just before showing the TSC entertainment logo, and freezes when the guy is knocking at the door. |
| 19:03 | vpeter> | Yes, happens same here. But I have no solution. |
| 19:49 | Artox> | vpeter: I guess we could try upgrading all freescape vpu stuff, and also try playing back with gstreamer-imx |
| 19:50 | Artox> | but I can only get around to that starting tuesday afternoon |
| 19:59 | vpeter> | Upgrading stuff would be possible. But I doubt it would help. |
| 20:01 | vpeter> | Mhm, let's see if kodi 17 is working on le 7.0.3. |
| 20:09 | vpeter> | Yes, kodi 16 works. |
| 21:15 | andrewalker> | vpeter: so kodi 16 plays that file fine? |
