  • Is impossible to avoid occasional frame drop? (SOLVED)

    ok, after watching a couple of movies i think i can mark this as solved.

    i think i still can see very very ocassional and small frame jumps, two or three in a full movie, but maybe it's just i'm obssesed with this right now,.

    if they are there it's just 1% of what it was before, probably becasue what is being said about sync impossible to be 100% accurate.

    thanks again for your help.

  • Is impossible to avoid occasional frame drop? (SOLVED)

    Well following your posts i was able to make my own xorg.conf, i took chewitt's one as a template and made my own. So far i didn't broke anything.
    Was testing for 15 min and didn't see any frame skipping, i will know it for sure when i check a full movie.

    I actually discovered that there was no edid taken from the projector, no way to retrieve it so libreelec was using some kind of full standar range of resolutions and refresh rates, which i filtered at some moment with a white list inside kodi , however some of them where missing , like rounded 24hz (netflix series for example have this rate) thinking that my projector didn't support it, now it 's there thanks to that modeline configuration.

    The only data i was not sure to put there was the HorizSync & VertRefresh values so i put the ones from chewitt and it worked, however i tried a moment ago to dump the edid data with a windows laptop i have and a small utility i downloaded... and it worked!, so i will update my conf file with my own values.

    Thanks to all for the help... wonder why libreelec doesn't have some utility to config this through interface.. i think it's important stuff for those who like me.. are not code masters.

    Thanks for answering.

    For now i would be happy if i can fix the issue in LE10, for the future i will probably abandon HTPC philosophy and go for modern and simple hardware like the nvidia shield.

    I'm not an expert so i have to study deeper your conclussions... i don't want to annoy you asking every simple stuff, but as a start point i cannot find a proper xorg.conf file under Libreelec directory, There is just one under /usr/share/debugconf/ , but it comes empty.

    Translating to my own language what you said is: i can add custom modelines to that conf file to match as best as possible the refresh rate of my devices to the movies frame rate, because what comes by default taken from the edid data, is not accurate?.

    Hi everyone..

    I recently joined to the list of libreelec users.. searching for the most perfect and smooth experience...

    My system is a PC equipped with AMD AMD A6 9500 E, Nvida GT710 and 4Gb Ram, Before, i was using kodi in linux mint, and because i was having occasional frame jumps i decided to go with libreelec, so far the migration is positive however, i cannot say i have 100% rock solid playback.

    Is very ocasional.. but still there.. i still can see very random frame jumps.. (my media is all mkv 1080p audio passthrough through spdif, played at 23,927 hz - fps in a 100inch screen wide with a projector) VDPAU video acceleration is on..Sync of play/stop ON, CPU% and mem load never goes above 20 %
    I have tried everything but no result so i wonder if it's something i have to deal with, at the end we are talking about computers with very different components.. videos from many different sources... etc maybe the problem is in the spdif passtrhough? I think when it's off y goes better but can't assure is still 100% smooth during the playblack of the full movie.

    So.. questions are.. do you have perfect smooth play? do you know anything i can do to improve experience?

    Please.. before you say i play perfectly smooth... ask yourself if you are really picky about this, i know by experience most of people would not see the difference between playng 24p content at 24hz or 30 hz

    I attach my kodi log ( not debug) if it helps... this is just a 1st post if someone comes with a quick idea..
    Kodi Log.txt

    Thanks

  • Assign remote button to Xrandr command

    Hi everyone.

    So i recently moved from a full linux mint system to libreelec trying to search for the smoothest video possible.

    Overall i'm happy with the change.. but i'm suffering from the typical limitations of going from a full os to a limited one.
    One of them is i can't find an easy way to change between my two screens ( a tv and a projector) .. there is no key bind in kodi for that purpose.
    I was usually using xrandr commands through ssh, which i could attach to remote buttons using linux mint Desktop utility, but well... since there is no desktop in Libreelec i'm not sure if i can do this anymore.

    Simple question is.. if there is any possibility to attach ssh commands to a remote button modifying any .xml file or similar through ssh?
    Or if there is any other way?

    Thanks in advance
