IDirectXVideoDecoder_Execute is called by FFmpeg directly. If you want somebody look at it you should file a ticket upstream.

You observe this issue in particular with tv headend right? AKAIK it starts steaming not necessarily from an recovery point which triggers those kind of issues.

To test i grab the link in 1st post? Or there is newer? Im with kodi beta1 atm

**fritsch** · 2014-11-09, 12:24

Ok im with it then few days now with nvidia and windows. Deinterlacing is much better and also the whole image and motion quality

Good work guys.

I don't really know the code that well so I apologize if this is a stupid question but since the actual call to IDirectXVideoDecoder_Execute is done with the same parameter values in both Gotham and Helix as far as I can tell (see my added debug prints), could it not be a problem with some DXVA2 configuration/initialization done differently in Helix (non-ffmpeg) code vs Gotham?

Yes, I noticed this watching live tvheadend and my test clip was also recorded by tvheadend.

Helix Beta 1-2 and the latest nightly (11/16) can not play 24fps (not 23.976!!!) movies correctly. The videos start with P(fr:24.000 and W(fps:24.00. After some second or a minute the W(fps changes from 24.00 to 23.98 and the Kodi skips 1-2 frames in every minutes and it can be perceived on the screen.
(AMD A10-6800K; Windows 8.1 pro x64; AMD Catalyst 14.9)

Anybody has same experience? Is it a reported/known issue?

**fritsch** · 2014-11-17, 21:15

Others reported that beta1 and beta2 are the first releases ever that do correct 24p playback :-)

Funny. Provide a Debug Log, we need to see the display clock.

I am finding B1, B2 and B3 quite crash-tastic on my Windows AMD system (catalyst 14.9) - that has been very stable with Frodo and Gotham. This is spontaneous crashing during playback.

What's the best current way to provide a crash report - the log doesn't seem to show anything as such directly related at the time, but I have the mini dumps etc.

Specifically, do you need:
Debug lug & minidump, or just minidump?
If debug log - all components on or just, say, ffmpeg?

Thanks!

A Debug Log is needed for the modelines.

A crashlog combined with a Debug Log would be nice for the crashes.

I had to work with closed source AMD drivers for approximately two years ... and it sucked :-) But let's see.

I have put a debug log here.
Please check it.

From the looks, it switches to the wrong refreshrate:

Is everything fine, if you force your display to prior to starting a video to 23.98 fps and disable xbmc's adjust refreshrate to match video?

Edit: As I am not a windows dev, I need help here. Will ping my colleagues.

- use true fullscreen (not windowed mode)
- adjust refresh rate to match video - always
- render method (DXVA-HD)
- allow hw acceleration (DXVA2)

There are no problem with all of 23.976, 25.00, 29.97 fps. There is not any skip/drop during playback (except I seek in video...).
But the European BDs are made at 24.00fps mostly and Kodi always changes the frame rate to 23.98 so it skips frames in every minutes. I tried to override fps in advancedsettings.xml but it has no effect.

If I set Windows desktop to 24Hz (not 23!!!) and disable xbmc's adjust refreshrate to match video, the Kodi also will change the frame rate to 23.98....

Ok so far I have collected some mini dumps, stack traces but I don't have a debug log of it in the act yet.

They're here, if they're of any use:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fnjk58tjmiexv...6pFRa?dl=0

I will try get a log/smp/trace that all match soon!

**fritsch** · 2014-11-18, 12:55

Thanks much. I have pinged the windows devs to this forum thread. Make sure to keep the dump files online for arround a week. These devs are currently travelling and I don't expect an actual answer before the weekend.
