  • X264: 1080p videos with 16 Reference Frames will not play in DRM PRIME

    gpu_mem changed to 96.
    Non-working video tested and is now working, no issues playing with DRM PRIME.

    Thank you for pointing me to this popcornmix

    chewitt - I've uploaded the log file as a zip to the OneDrive, as the pastekodi command gave me this:

    The Pi hardware decode is only specced for level 4.1 (which is the BluRay standard).

    Don't encode videos like that.

    If you set gpu_mem (in config.txt) high enough, the videos will probably play, but you may have issues with the reduction in arm side memory this results in.

    Hello,

    I have recently obtained an RPi 2 and installed LibreELEC.
    It has happily played most video until I tried files I had encoded in my Archive.

    I've done some digging and compared similarly encoded files from another source that play perfectly fine, they have AVC 4.1 and reference frames encoded between 4 up to 9.
    My videos are encoded as AVC 5.1 with 16 reference frames, and will only play audio, the screen freezes and GUI elements start leaving trails on the screen. If I press top, the screen returns to normal.
    I have tested the videos on several versions of LibreELEC, from 19 all the way to the 21 nightly build, and the result is the same.
    However.. I am able to play a video encoded the same way (16 ref frames) without any issues, but has a lower cropped resolution of 1920x800.

    For my current videos I have test encoded with 9 reference frames and they play perfectly, but I have no wish to re-encode my entire back catalogue.
    If I post up a couple of clips regarding the issues i have described, would it be possible for the Devs to look into this and come up with a bug fix?
