Hello

I updated the xbmc to Kodi today and now it's broken? On Xbmc 13 i can watch videos on 720p without lag, now, even menu is so slow :c

Maybe it's because I updated Linux Intel drivers to the latest? But videos from YouTube in 720p plays in MPV Player fine, in Kodi i got only 7FPS Sad

Here is the log file

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04

Not sure what you expect. You don't have real drivers installed, OpenGL won't really work.

But before upgrade it worked and i installed all drivers using tool from this site https://01.org/linuxgraphics/

I dont have much experience with intel gpu + kodi, fritsch is the resident expert on that, so anything he says goes.

So with that in mind two things occur to me.

1) The package you installed doesn't support your video card.
2) Not great idea to use binary installers imo and its preferable to use distro packaged drivers instead

That said I think you need to tells us what hardware you have exactly.

I fixed that problem, somthing has been wrong with my xorg.conf, after I remove it, the Kodi is working with 100FPS

**fritsch** · 2014-12-25, 16:39

Yeah, turn vsync on ... 100 fps is quite useless :-)

Yeah I know Smile

Thanks for help anyway

BTW: Do I need xorg.conf? Is there something i get with it? More perfomance?

**fritsch** · 2014-12-25, 17:51

Nope. All fine as is.

Better check your vaapi is working correctly to offload video decoding.

Output from MPV trying play Youtube video with vaapi:

So, vaapi is not working properly :c

In latest version...

Your N450 does not support VAAPI at all.

Video -> Acceleration: Decoding-Method: Software will give you the most experience of kodi, but such a single core (only HT) won't do very well.

Ok, thank you for help Smile
