  • [BUG] Still cannot play back X265 streams due to mesa bugs? #9771

    So I tried a few things, on arch, with Xorg and Wayland everything plays great. The jelly files, the previously tested files, everything just works. With wayland I can obviously not change resolutions within kodi, this is a known thing, but other then that it's great. GBM 'works' but is super unstable/unreliable.


    With libreelec nightly (from a a few nights ago) I can play the jelly files from a USB drive, but with NFS being broken (at least then) I couldn't access any of the other files, so don't know if the issue is actually fixed on the nightlies.


    I'll try again in a few weeks with hopes of the nfs issue being resolved from a live USB stick. But I must say that so far my arch experience has been smoother and more stable, which is odd tbh. Much less stutters, much fewer random crashes. But I still would much prefer running libreelec, as setting up the machine cost hours, in part because the 'max' resolution reported by my TV and being interpreted by Xorg doesn't work, but this was never a problem for libreelec. I'm using my .kodi from my libreelec setup, so all my addons and settings are the same ... Anyways, will report back in a few weeks time.

    Will do, I'll setup a live USB again to boot librelec again.


    For now, I've installed archlinux and while the default is using wayland (Xorg puts out a resolution my TV dissagree's with that I haven't taken time yet to look into) everything works. I think my desktop is using Xorg, but I do keep switching between the two. Though on my laptop (which is intel based) I do use xorg, and also here it works (a 10 year old macbook).


    So I'll look into both, run libreelec nightly (once the NFS missing symbol is fixed) and use the kodi samples as sources again, but I'll first focus on getting arch + xorg working so I can actually use kodi again. WAF and all that.

    I went ahead and installed the nightly, but there's some linkage issues so will try some older nightlies until that's fixed just to see if this has already been resolved. Googling for the error doesn't really reveal much; and I would expect a lot of AMD desktop users would be bitten by this so I'd have a hard time to think it's a generic issue.


    Btw, on my desktop, which is an old amd FX series processor, with an R7 GPU, running arch linux, it does work just fine.

    ### Describe the bug
    I was suffering from this issue on my old A10 (socket FM2 or some such) and filed a bug report on this years ago. https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/issues/7088

    I accepted it as it was, a bug and figured it would get fixed after some updates. Alas, I bought a new AMD 8600g (socket am5, zen4?) and it still suffers from the same. So much for hoping new hardware would avoid the issue.

    The annoying bit is, this most definitely worked in the past. Maybe during libreelec 11 times. I'll downgrade and see.

    ### How to reproduce
    Steps to reproduce the behavior:
    1. Go to video player
    2. Play h265 encoded file
    3. See error
