Yeah, I know, annoying. That's why I hardly use any addon during development and use sample video files for testing purposes. Anyway, I installed PVR simple addon without issue but I'm not sure if it works correctly (no playlists to test).

I updated images in OP. Now deinterlacing works pretty well for me, apart from the small issue mentioned in OP.

Changelog:

- proper cleanup of resources

- it's possible to turn off and on deinterlacing in video settings on the fly

- detection for HW deinterlacing (H3 and H6 have it, so this doesn't change anything for these two SoCs)

- crash fixes in some corner cases

Please report any issue. It's also possible that issue is in decoder (turn off deinterlacing and see if issue is still there). Anyway, I accept both type of issue reports but then please also provide video sample which triggers the issue.

Note that Kodi is updated and also uses new addon location. You may need to start from fresh state if addons won't work.

I just moved talk about deinterlacing into new thread so the posts don't get lost in huge topic. Anyway, I made a few more improvements and I'll upload new test images soon and I'll update OP with links to them including with a list of known issues and workarounds.

- Is s/pdif optical out working with OK with LibreElec?

spdif is not enabled on TX6. I can't test it, so I'm not sure how easy/hard would be to add support for it.

- This nightly images works on bootable SD like the stable downloads or have a diferent instalation process?

yes, you burn image to SD card and that's it. If you want to boot from emmc, you just overwrite emmc with same image.

All in all, TX6 is not particularly good H6 device. I suggest you go with SBC instead.

Why don't you just test it?

CEC on H5 is known issue, I should add it in OP.

Which board?

DEPRECATED: Patches were merged into main LE repo

Someone here who would like to test HW deinterlacing and report back findings?

Known issue:

If display refresh rate is lower than double of video fps, audio and video will go out of sync. Bigger the difference, bigger sync issue.

Workaround 1:

Make sure that display refresh rate is higher than double of video fps. Easiest way to do that, is to set 1920x1080@60Hz display mode which most monitors and TVs should support nowadays.

Workaround 2:

If previous workaround isn't possible, change DRMPRIME render method to EGL. It will be less efficient but it will still avoid the problem.

Ok, that would be GPU driver bug. Updated mesa and kernel will should be updated soon. But other than that I can't do anything...

Leave it, I'm still interested in general opinion.

FYI, I have PineTab just for this purpose. In the past, there was a weak point in terms of SW support - driver for display. But this is mainly fixed now, so it should not be too hard to add support for it.

What codecs? Anyway, GPU has nothing to do with video decoding, if codec is one of the supported ones (MPEG2, H264, HEVC).

Nothing in the logs... This reminds me on Eachlink box, where no error is logged but HDMI output also doesn't work. Unless I get such unit, I can't do anything.

Proof of concept exists, but it need some fixing. Not sure when I'll get back to it.

Sorry to say, but configuration for display is same, so it should work. Can you test with different monitor and different HDMI cable?

genidy.m No error can be found in logs, so I can't do anything. If you can find android image for that box (either full image or update file), I can check few things, but no promises. Device tree file from live system would also work but I can't guide you since every Android is a bit different.

RedFighterCZ sorry for late response. Can you confirm this is still the case with latest nightly image, e.g. LibreELEC-H6.arm-9.80-devel-20200426012033-38764c8-tanix-tx6.img.gz ? I tested it and it seems to work correctly.

You can't. Driver is missing.
