Video stutters on wetek core

andye26 · August 27, 2016 at 1:02 PM

Just installed libreelec on wetek core but suffering frame rate issues.
when playing almost any file it plays ok for about a min then video stutters then stats playing ok again for about another min then the same again happens
If I press info when playing video it says hardware decoding inactive, Decoder unknown,unknown
amcodec is enabled.
No such problems on the last version of openelec
Any ideas

Oddly enough it seem to oreform better if i disable amcodec?

Every file I try to play is always listed as software decoding regardless of amcodec setting.

Still stutters on new build (7.90.005) clean install. Still forced to use openelec for smooth framerate
Anybody any idea whats wrong?

I have the same issue, I think (7.90.004 on WeTek Core).

I use 'Adjust Display Refresh Rate' without 'Sync Playback to Display', my TV can do 24, 50, and 60 Hz.
Playing a 23.976 fps 1080p AVC file with refresh rate 24, the TV confirms 24p mode, and everything starts smoothly.

After about 50 seconds (and always at the same point, when starting from beginning), there is a brief stutter (like multiple frames dropped) for a fraction of a second,
then everything is fine again. This repeats every minute or so.

When I seek before watching the same scene, it plays without stutter, but stutters later. The same with basically any movie I tried.

I tried disabling hardware support, with no effect.

What can I try to narrow it down?

I suspect it's this: WeTek Video stuttering while playing 24p videos

Is anyone working on this in LE?

Since CONFIG_AML_VOUT_FRAMERATE_AUTOMATION is set, there are actually two 24p modes (24HZ for true 24.0fps, and 23HZ for 23.976fps)?

How should advancedsettings.xml <video><adjustrefreshrate><override> look to use 23HZ for 23.976? <refresh>23</refresh>?

Or is this already in the Kodi base being used?

Or am I down the wrong rabbit hole?
