The Intel Issue will be fixed with the next version of driver... Some users reported, that the issues are already gone with the latest beta driver from Intel.

The one I was referring to would look like this while playing some HD videos. In some HD videos it would be pixelated white all over the picture as well. Anyone wants to know more about this intel graphics issue just google for "dxva2 intel"

I would be glad if they would be able to fix this. Do you know if you can download the beta drivers?

is this the same for the i3-4330 that uses the 4600 gfx chip ?

thanks

I hear it is not but you can really confirm it only if you play the same video which has issues with HDxxx series on this chip. I have confirmed the issue exists on HD2000, HD3000 and from others I believe it exists on HD4000 as well.

That's way old. anyone tried these? - 9.18.10.3165 [11th June 2013]

How does one install this into openELEC?

I have tried the latest one and it still has the issue. You can't install it in to openelec and BTW it does not have this issue.

At this moment I use the Beta Release Version: 15.33.0.3214 driver (Intel Graphics Driver: 9.18.10.3214, Intel Display Audio Driver: 6.16.0.3111), for some time now and that is doing OK on my Win 7 HD 4000 HTPC. Before that Beta I tested every driver and the driver that had no issues were the 9.17.10.2932 drivers from last December 2012. Everything else official released after that was not OK (besides the Beta).

Windows drivers on openelec? Don't think so!

Too bad it is not available for HD2000/HD3000 Sad

Yes, obviously. But how does one get the driver and put it into oE?

u don't, u download the version of OE best suited to hardware u got

jammyb · 2013-09-04, 22:24

You can SSH install the latest drivers. I used to do that with XBMCBUNTU and ION drivers, so why not Intels?

Richard39 · 2013-09-04, 22:43

openelec isn't xbmcbuntu, wait for next version of openelec and they might be there or u could always recompile the kernel manually to include the correct software.

FYI system partition in OE is read only file system. You can't just ssh and install the drivers.

What's more it is linux and doesn't use windows drivers. Even if you could install different drivers on openelec, windows ones are simply irrelevant.

You could recompile openelec with newer LINUX drivers, but whether that tips up other parts of the openelec system is anyones guess.

Earlier this year i bought my first projector (Optoma HD20). I have had no problem with picture quality until that day when i brought an oppo 103 from my friend.
I had time to compare the picture quality between that HTPC and oppo and realized that oppo produced a substantial better picture quality which I can see it very clearly through my eyes
I love XBMC of course, then i kept my HTPC but routed it video signal through HDMI input of oppo and output from oppo to projector. Picture quality has been significally improved.

So, if PQ is really your concern, AND IF YOU USE PROJECTOR, i strongly recommend you to buy an oppo and do my way. You can use whether Intel HD or a decent video card.

So if you are routing the hdmi OUTPUT from the pc to the oppo, then the projector, the video has already been decoded, no? So in this setup the oppo is acting more as a scaler.

Yes video is still decoded by HTPC. But the picture quality is significally improved as video signall is processing via oppo

That's it! Recompile! [SSH didn't "feel" right when talking about it here and about updating but not changing the version lol]

When I made the change from xbmcbuntu to oE, I was installing custom recompiled ion versions.

I'm still on 3.0.6. Haven't bothered with the 3.1.* as it'll be grief when updating to stable version won't it?

Any ideas when we'll get stable Gotham/ oE 3.2?

The usual response to such questions in the open source world is "when it's ready".

jammyb · 2013-09-05, 09:45

Yes true but in the oE forums you sometimes read titbits on possible release dates sometimes. Just wondered if anyone had read anything promising! Smile
