cubox-i4 kodi no video playback, freeze after a few seconds

Postby rp9 » Mon Dec 05, 2016 8:10 am

Updated to the latest packages.
If I start video playback in kodi, I can hear the audio stream, but kodi doesn't switch to video playback and after ~10 sec kodi freezes.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Yes!!! Gah. I thought it was just my local config. I've been through just about everything and didn't find anything.

I have no idea how to test the vpu on this system. It's a bit of a ... black box.

I did manage to get a mpeg2 stream to play, but it might be software decoded.

This problem is due to the update of imx-vpu to version 5.4.33-1.

If you roll back to 5.4.32-1 the issue should be solved.

It has been reported on the cubox-i forum here( where a fix is also described).

it has been notified on github here.

Please let me me know if there is a better way of notifying the issue as in this forum it is suggested to $this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'r')eport this is in our GitHub issue tracker.
which I wans't able to find (not an expert on github).

The downgrade also worked for me, but now after a video plays I just get a black screen. Nothing out of the ordinary in the kodi.log file.
