When I watch HD video on KODI, get choppy/jerky playback (very obvious on camera pans or scrolling credits); as far as I can see, SD material plays back fine. My HD videos are all h264 encoded in either an MKV or MP4 container, all are 50Hz
When watching the videos, the TV reports that it has adjusted to 50 Hz
When I press the O button, I get the following lines (typically)
...
P(fr:50.000 vq:99%, dc:ff-h264-vdpau, Mb/s:2.30, drop:0, skip 550 [goes up about 1 per second], pc:1)
...
W(fps:44.91[varies 42-49] CPU0:15% CPU1:11%)
My settings are as follows:
Adjust display rate to match video: On start / stop
Pause during refresh rate change: 0.1 sec
Sync playback to display: Yes
A/V sync method: Video clock Resample audio
My system uses an AMD A6-5770K APU with 4 GB of single channel memory (I have read other posts that say that this is adequate -- if not please let me know)
I have the VDAPU acceleration installed (and it appears to be working -- CPU usage is typically around 20% when playing back, with acceleration turned off it is typically 70 - 90%)
I am running on Linux Mint 17.1 (AMD 64 bit version), with the Radeon open source driver (updated till 01/01/2015)
I am running KODI 14.0 (PPA install) (GIT: ad747d9)
I have pasted a debug log, please see http://pastebin.com/rzds10wZ
All help / suggestions very gratefully received.
