Hi,

sorry for stepping into this thread without ever testing the images provided here.

But I am planning to step into UHD content and I am willing to test related patches.

My current TV is limited to HD (1080p) and I would like to ask whether Kodi is able,

maybe with some patches added, to display UHD (2160p) content on a new UHD-

capable TV set yet to be bought.

My setup is:

- Intel Rocketlake i9-11900tT

- ASRock Z590 Extreme with HDMI 2.0b output

- kernel 5.13.x

- mesa3d 21.2.1

- media-driver 21.3.2

Do I need to use a fiber-based HDMI 2.0 cable to cover the 12m distance between

the PC and the TV? Currently I am using a HDMI 1.3 copper-based cable.

Will fiber-based cables still route CEC signals?

Is the limitation "4K60 4:2:0 8-bit" of the USB CEC adapter a problem in real life?

looks similar to the issues when I first stood up the TGL … Looks like Xe12 needs a little more work.

Please test current media-driver: Rocket Lake (RKL) discussion

I don’t have experience with Rocket Lake, but with Tiger Lake, the Kernel really needs to be a 5.12 kernel to fix a number of i915 issues. I use the Tiger Lake as one of my Daily Drivers.

The problem starts with 11th gen i5/i7/i9 CPUs:

Even 11th gen i3 CPUs are not affected, because these "Rocketlake" CPUs contain a Tigerlake iGPU:

And yes, I tested with kernel 5.12 (even including some drm backports) and kernel 5.13.

And I read the discussion about rocket lake all around, but I don't understand anything.

Bottom line: Using Kodi with Rocketlake CPUs is broken atm due to problems with Intel media-driver.
