with the following settings I try to watch SAT TV (Germany)
- Allow using DRM Prime decoder
- Allow HW acceleration with DRM Prime
- Prime Decoder Method: Direct to Plane
and I'm failing, seeing a spinning wheel.
When Prime Decoder Method set to EGL it is working
Questions:
wrong settings on my end ?
Info:
Monitor is an PC Monitor (Philips 278B1, 4K without HDR)
while I'm reading the gits (LE, XBMC) I'm aware of the last changes regarding rendering, etc.
I'm thinking about opening a bug report at XBMC ...

other question
while running with the above settings, esp. "Allow HW acceleration ..." and D2P: EGL
I see after hitting the o-key => Tab "Player": "Video decoder: ff-h264-drm_prime (sw)"
I guess "sw" means software ?
I need some clarification here: Why SW while HW acceleration is on (or allowed) ?
well, "allowed" means "might be on" not necessarly means "is on" ...
