Thanks, wsnipex. I already undid the /etc/default/grub changes before. Now I removed the /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash file (containing FRAMEBUFFER=y) in addition. Running smoothly again with VAAPI since half an hour. No crash so far. Would not last a minute before.
Just let me add: The picture quality and deinterlacing is absolutely amazing compared to the Gotham-based OE I ran before! Feels like I'd bought a next-generation TV...
Again, thanks, guys!

M4tt0 you're running the version from the PPA right ? I just install a ubuntu mini or something and install through PPA to test the latest vaapi builds right ?
Sorry for the naive questions, will find my way from your hint, have a nut i3 and chrome I'd be glad to preview what's coming for them. Thanks.

Hey c0mm0n,
Same as on #hts? :-)
You are right. Just follow post #1 in this thread. Fritsch has laid out everything beautifully. I just kept stumbling over my own feet, so he and wsnipex had to essentially carry me over the line... ;-)
Have fun!

Yes i'm the one from #hts, who are you there ?
Thanks for the hint, I'll give it a try. What hardware are you using ?

Ok I got the PPA installed and running, but no TVH plugin, what’s the trick ? compile ?
edit : solved, just install from the xbmc ppa :
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc-pvr-tvheadend-hts
did a reboot, not sure if necessary, and works.
(or better compile adamsutton's version, see his github)
The first feedback is impressive (using settings recommenced and MC deinterlace). The Nuc barely goes above 5% on all 4 cores (playing a 1080i 7mb stream).
Should be a huge benefit on the chromebox.

Beside the crash: deinterlacing 50i content to 50 frames and then playing it on 25 Hz is insane. Switch resolution to 720p50 that should look, feel much better.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.
