Stuttering stream playback on LibreELEC 9.2.6 (Generic.x86_64)

goran_s · December 13, 2020 at 6:11 PM

Hi,

I have a problem on my Intel N3510 with HDMI connected TV. I have problems with stuttering and otherwise irregular streams display. When I put up the info (o) or details (ctrl+shift+o), display is good but as soon is I switch it off, it starts stuttering again. The same stream is ok on kodi on my Mac. When info is on, it shows very low dropped or skipped frames and cpu usage is 10-20%.

Any advice?

Best regards,

Goran

Please provide a full debug log.

How to post a log (wiki)

1. Enable debugging in Settings>System Settings>Logging
2. Restart Kodi
3. Replicate the problem
4. Generate a log URL (do not post/upload logs to the forum)

use "Settings > LibreELEC > System > Paste system logs" or run "pastekodi" over SSH, then post the URL link

I can provide debug log but it wouldn't be relevant. As soon as I enable debug logging, the debug text appears on screen and playback becomes smooth. Any advice?

No, the kodi.log file will store the debug text. If you post a link to your uploaded kodi.log, we can read what happened on your device.

Ssh to the device and try this command:

echo 750 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/gt_min_freq_mhz

If it works add it to storage/.config/autostart.sh

You can also enable debugging via a flag in the advancedsettings.xml file.

<loglevel hide="true">1</loglevel>

Level 1 will not display the debug OSD.

Thank You, It works! I don't have autostart.sh in that place. It's OK to create new file?
Any other advice for this platform?

No. One question - one thread.

Create /storage/.config/autostart.sh with this content:

Bash

#!/bin/sh

(
    echo 750 > /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/drm/card0/gt_min_freq_mhz
) &
