I think that both of those videos played perfectly.
On the second file (the transmission stream) , the ticker looked a little jerky but as far as I could tell the live action was perfect.
The first file had lots of movement in it and that certainly played perfectly.
Neither file showed the number of skipped frames continuously increasing, which was a symptom before.
That said, for both films, kodi reported a source frame rate (fr) of 25, rather than 50. I dont think that there has ever been a problem playing files with a frame rate of 25, only HD with a 50 frame rate.

(This post was last modified: 2015-01-03, 20:22 by 41nick.)
also, using ffmpeg to convert the file that was showing the errors to a framerate of 25 (ie dropping every other frame), but otherwise keeping the parameters the same results in a file the plays prefectly
Just downloaded the last file (1080p50). This one does result in choppy playback and dropped frames.

What about the sample I posted above? Can you share such a 1080p50 file?
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

I think we crossed messages. You sample caused the problem -- do you still want a sample of mine?

I hope you did not force "Lanczos3 Optimized" for those kind of movies? If yes, set scaling to bilinear.

1080p50 works btw. on my oldish E350 with vdpau -> so if newest kernel does not solve it, file a bug at bugs.freedesktop.org, also verify that you don't use fancy scaling when not really scaling.

No fancy scaling set, just bilinear.
I think I got the kernel upgrade wrong, because it wont boot an more -- Ill just go and restore.
Many thanks for you help -- it has been first rate

press "esc" and select the older kernel. Then remove what you had installed.

Btw. just curious - do those work in OpenELEC on your hardware?
