Running 2.3.3 now on my RPi3 - seem to be working fine.

I just tried a kernel 4.11-rc4 build and it is just as bad as 4.9/4.10. Looks like we'll be stuck with kernel 4.8 for a long, long time.

Hey, with the latest MR release, will this bring about the same issues we have as still using same kernel?Official 8.0.1 RPi2 is still unusable for me. That's why I did a custom 8.0.1 with kernel 4.8.
I can only test the RPi2 builds. No idea what's going on with Generic builds, you will have to test those yourself. -

Any chance of a build for Generic x86_64 ?LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.0.1.kernel.4.8.13.no.mb.tar
LibreELEC-Generic.x86_64-8.0.1.kernel.4.8.13.with.mb.tar
What differences for media build and no media build? Which should I try for raspberry 2 and tevii s660 dvbs2 card? -
I compiled a Kodi 17.1 (final) builds for RPi2/3. Linux kernel 4.8.13, without and with media_build.
LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0.1.kernel.4.8.13.no.mb.tar
LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.0.1.kernel.4.8.13.with.mb.tarKodi now defaults to Bob deinterlacing on HD channels (when deinterlace method is set to Auto). If you want to use a higher quality Advanced deinterlacing you'll have to manually select "MMAL-Advanced".

Today i tried the 8.0.0 kernel 4.8.13 with mb.. still conituity counter errors. The build without media_build works fine for me.
This is odd. Probably some media_build driver issue, unrelated to the issue I described in my original post.
On my RPi3 + DVBSky s960 I tested the following:
Official build - 8.0.0 with media_build, kernel 4.9.8 - problematic (as described in original post). Advanced deinterlacing causing video corruption.
8.0.0 without media_build, kernel 4.9.8 - problematic (as described in original post). Advanced deinterlacing causing video corruption.
8.0.0 with media_build, kernel 4.8.13 - no issues. Can use Advanced deinterlacing, no video corruption.
8.0.0 without media_build, kernel 4.8.13 - no issues. Can use Advanced deinterlacing, no video corruption. -
Tried updates from post #14 and #22 but it doesn't help.
Did you update VDR/VNSI to the latest versions?Dropbox - Link not found
service.multimedia.vdr-addon-8.1.104.zip?dl=1 -
Probably there is same problem with kernel on my box.... Any chance you could compile 905x build for me smp?Amlogic devices have nothing to do with linux kernel 4.x. They provide their own kernel which is currently based on linux 3.14.
-
Tried to build with 4.9-rc1 but failed.
linux-01-RPi_support.patch from 8.0.0 seem to be incompatible and it does not build so I have no idea how to proceed.
For what it's worth I tried a 4.9.0 build a while ago and the issue is definitely there. -
IMO without media_build should be your first choice. If it does not work try the media_build version.
-
Just to make things clear: media_build has nothing to do with the issue from my original post. I made 2 versions (media_build and non-media_build) because some DVB devices only work with media_build drivers and some devices for whatever reason only work with default kernel drivers.
The issue occur with and without media_build as long as the build is based on 4.9 kernel.
Kernel 4.10 has the same issue as 4.9 - it does not fix anything. Only kernel 4.8 and earlier work as expected.

Would it be possible for you to prepare a media_build build as well? -
Dropbox - Link not found - Generic x86_64, ver. 8.0.0, kernel 4.8.13, without media_build
Dropbox - Link not found - Generic x86_64, ver. 8.0.0, kernel 4.8.13, with media_build

I assume you're running oscam on same machine as vdr backend?Yes.

Can you help me set it up as this what you talking about TVH drives me crazy for a week now ;/Make sure that the options for DVB-Api are correct (Config-->DVB-Api from Oscam's web interface):
Boxtype=pc
PMT Mode=4
Listen port=2000 -

Now I can see it is on the edge when wathcing a single HD channel. I assume paralel recording or timeshifting can be completely forgotten.
Not sure about RPi2 but RPi3 is usable as a DVB receiver. However, some tweaking is obviously required to get an acceptable performance. Also, in my experience VDR is far more robust than Tvheadend, so you definitely should give it a try. -
RAM/GPU overclocking should help as well. Push it as far as possible.
