RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - fritsch - 2014-02-28 (2014-02-28, 01:34)frarev Wrote:(2014-02-27, 21:50)fritsch Wrote: @frarev: Audiophile switch is not existent in gotham anymore, it does nothing. When you play 25 fps content at 50 hz all is fine. When you play 29.970 at 60 hz it gets problematic, cause the syncer must do a lot more. If your TV really cannot do 23.976 fps, I would disable that settings, when you want to use passthrough. It will be perfect when you disable passthrough and choose audio resample. Only disadvantage: DTS-HD Master is not decoded, but only the core. If you have a 5.1 setup you might perhaps even not realize it. Other advantages: You will be able to control your volume again with the xbmcs internal volume. You loose absolutely nothing quality wise (despite with DTS-HD) when doing that. You even win a lot: No more drops / dups in audio. Perfect audio + video. You won't see the DTS-HD Master / Dolby / DTS / etc. Icon on your AVR anymore. If that bothers you, put a bit of paper infront of it :-) RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - sat4all - 2014-02-28 (2014-02-27, 19:25)fritsch Wrote: No - that has no relevance at all. Those delay is a constant offset, which was found by "experimenting", e.g. we asked approximately 100 users concerning their constant offset for specific samples we posted, we summed that up, removed the outliers and ended at 175 ms. It is not yet fully known where this is coming from. We know for sure that there are TVs out there that need more time when doing 24p / 23.9758 fps content - cause they do additional processing. Found it, finally! It was my samsung tv auto motion plus setting it was set to clear which all reviews & pro calibrations recommande! switching it off solve the a/v sync case. (wondering how fast motion scenes will look like now!!!) edit: after all it seems impossible to keep AMP off, the picture look horrible. my bad luck, got to decide between perfect sync and perfect picture. thank you again, your comments was very helpful. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - weust - 2014-03-01 I got my i3 model in and set it up with Gentoo Linux. But I am running into a problem with OpenGL support. With just X I can run glxgears properly, and glxinfo | grep rendering shows me I am OK too. But when I run either xbmc or /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin it's a no go. Quote:weust@xbmc ~ $ xbmc Quote:weust@xbmc ~ $ /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin Am I missing something somewhere? Edit: link to xbmc.log Re: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - nickr - 2014-03-01 Yes you are missing a debug log RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - frarev - 2014-03-01 (2014-02-28, 09:18)fritsch Wrote:(2014-02-28, 01:34)frarev Wrote:(2014-02-27, 21:50)fritsch Wrote: @frarev: First, I'm using XBMC frodo OpenElec 3.2.4, not gotham yet. I guess the explanations are the same but perharps results will be different because I read Gotham has a new audio/video engine. My Nuc i5 is connected (audio and video) with mini-hdmi to my Yamaha A3020 Receiver, that is connected to my Pioneer Plasma. Now, I disabled Audiophile switch. I tested Disable Passtrough and tried the option Video clock (resamble audio) : this give awfull results 23,976 fps : video smooth, sound horrible. 25 and 29,97 fps : sound OK but video with heavy stuttering (not watchable). So I get confused about your explanations. I tryed Audio clock : 23,976 fps : video quite perfect (few very small stuttering) 25 and 29,97 fps : sound OK but video with heavy stuttering (not watchable). The best configuration for me is Adjust display refresh rate to match video ON and NOT activate Sync playback to display (OFF). I disabled as well VDPAU and XVBA hardware acceleration cause there are not useful on Intel NUC : only VAAPI is OK for Intel HD Graphics. All 23,976, 25 and 29,97 fps video are smooth and audio is passthrough decoded by my A/V even DTS-HD Master. It seems that the small stuttering I usually get in some well know movies are gone since I deactivated Audiophile switch. I will see if I get some in my next watch. So thanks for explanations that help me to choose the best configuration for now. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - fritsch - 2014-03-01 Don't invest too much time in Frodo. Frodo is not maintained anymore. I hope your NUC is a hsw Nuc. Edit: Audiophile switch does absolutely nothing when the stream is already running. It mainly disabled gapless and openened a new sink on track change. This did not affect dvdplayer at all. Edit2: Not related to your ancient Frodo installation: All advancedsettings concerning audio are _gone_ for gotham, so whenever you experience a problem with gotham and those settings you are hunting a phantom. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - weust - 2014-03-01 Here is a link to my xbmc.log. I did notice something about xrandr, so I got that installed. But no help getting any further there. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - fritsch - 2014-03-01 Not sure what you are doing. You use a fully outdated xbmc version on a highly advanced platform. Perhaps use something more easy for beginners. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - weust - 2014-03-01 Ok. I just see that 12.2-r1 is the current stable build on Gentoo. 12.3 is there, but needs to be unmasked. Which is why I thought I used emerge --autounmask, but apparently that does not do what I thought it would do. I will work on getting 12.3 emerged. Also, that I have only 2 posts (3 after this one) does not mean I am a beginner perse. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - fritsch - 2014-03-01 Yeah, no offense. I see that you have problems getting an Xserver with correct drivers up and running, therefore I thought something else might it make easier for you. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - weust - 2014-03-01 Well, Xserver runs fine, including OpenGL. It's just XBMC that doesn't detect the hardware. But that might be related to version 12.2, hence I am now working on getting 12.3 emerged. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - fritsch - 2014-03-01 12.3 did not change anything in that relation. Check your glxinfo output. Edit: It seems xbmc cannot connect to the Xserver at all, check that your systemd / init script is properly set up and starts the xserver accordingly. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - weust - 2014-03-01 Figured out what the problem was. Bit of a do'h moment. Haven't used Linux with X in years, so I blame it one rust. I was expecting xbmc to run from CLI and it would start X itself. It does not. Running it inside startx does make it run. Now I just have some tweaking to do. Running a 10 bit video isn't as smooth as it was running OpenElec. No hick ups, just slower every few seconds, then back to full speed. Also, sound is running Analog instead of through HDMI, even though I only use HDMI. Sounds plays back properly. Bit loud, so need to adjust that as well. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - fritsch - 2014-03-01 Yes - your gentoo build does not have my multithreading patch for hi10p, which was backported to OpenELEC and is default in gotham ... it only uses one core ... Btw. gentoo builds with external ffmpeg and external libraries, both is not supported by Team xbmc. In general I don't suggest running Frodo on new intel nucs.

But Frodo is the last official stable version. Do you think alpha Gotham is stable enough to use it ? |
