Videos play with jumps

  • I was using libreelec 8 and I was able to play videos smoothly. I have changed to a nightly 13 and some videos are playing with jumps and even showing the buffering circle. Everything is the same (same hardware (cubox), same connection, same videos), the only difference is the change in libreelec version.

    One of the videos failing has this info: mkv H264 1920x1080 3278447 bps

    I have hardware acceleration on, but it shows SW when playing the video.

    Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

    Thank you!

    iMX6 support in LE is in a semi-abandoned state. Our assumption is that there are enough commercial users of iMX6 chips for media support to be maintained upstream without us needing to do anything. That assumption might be wrong and some testing might be needed; although the challenge will be finding anyone with time and hardware to do it.

    I so have a Cubox-i in a cupboard somewhere (it last saw daylight around 2022) but I'm submerged in other things at the moment and can't promise I'll be able to dig it out any time soon.

    NB: it would be interesting to see the "pastekodi" output after demonstrating the problem with Kodi in debug mode. Share the URL and we can maybe see more about what's going on.
