Kodi 17 & Live TV - tredman - 2016-07-16
I see 2 problems on Kodi 17 with live tv (other than this it works well).
1. With Mediacodec decoding of SD mpeg2 there is a slight 'bouncing' to the picture
2. With Mediacodec (surface) decoding of HD h.264 there are a lot of dropped frames and a news ticker goes into slow mo (it's really weird, knock of deinterlacing and the main picture stays the same, but the ticker goes super fast to catch-up).
These problems all occur on two different shields, both running 3.2 f/w.
Are they known bugs and if not what logs / tests would help to diagnose the issue?
Edit - these problems occur if the shield is in 4k or 1080 mode.

First log showing dropped frames on HD h.264 channel with mediacodec (surface) decoding:

RE: Kodi 17 & Live TV - Martijn - 2016-07-16
please start by installing latest available and try again

And second log showing shaky / bouncy mpeg2 playback with only mediacodec decoding enabled:

FWIW I know shield 3.2 has issues, but the refresh rate is manually set to 50Hz and both methods work correctly in SPMC / Kodi 16
Anything else I can provide please let me know

Debug Log with newest build, please - the other one has a sever issue with non blocking renderer.
Edit: Btw. please use a recording for testing - no intention to debug possible additional tvh issues with the changed infrastructure.

Oh

I see everything in those logs ... but not playing a proper file. Plex is spamming like hell and tvh tells us its feeling about pvr recordings.
Here, three samples:

OK, give me some time and I will set up a clean kodi on my other shield and check these files.

Note this shield is on a TV which can only do 720p (at 50Hz) in this case, I still see the same problem though.
RE: Kodi 17 & Live TV - fritsch - 2016-07-16
1.) The bouncing is the missing, suboptimal / low quality deinterlacing, which is done by bobbing in the render. You use: Deinterlace (Auto) and Deinterlace-Method: BOB right? Does "Bob-invert" make a difference?
2.) Besides some sluggish startup I see that nearly every second frame is late and therefore dropped by renderrmanage :-( - sad. Someone needs to really properly look into mediacodec surface as it needs fine tuning after rework of render manager. Can't help.
Out of interest: http://solidrun.maltegrosse.de/~fritsch/1080p50_h264.mkv <- this one needs much more oopmh to play, does it also drop like hell?
