Video not playing properly, beginning with kernel 4.0.9 #101

Closed ghost closed 8 years ago

Hi,

I'm using raspbian wheezy with kodi as media center on two raspberry pis (B+ and 2). All raspbian packages are up to date.

Up to kernel version 4.0.8 (commit be02a7f5b5c560b6f33bddcd36b207b85b1d95a5) I'm able to watch DVB-T and MPEG2 Videos in HD (including mpeg2 key) perfectly.

Beginning with version 4.0.9 (commit 46d179597370c5145c7452796acbee0f1ff93392) videos don't play smooth anymore, the playback is very (!) jerky. The same applies to recorded TV-shows.

As a workaround I'm currently downgrading the kernel by running rpi-update be02a7f5b5c560b6f33bddcd36b207b85b1d95a5

The situation is the same on both machines after a fresh install. There is also no change when using an almost empty config.txt (only containing the mpeg decoder key). It is also independent on the network or storage used.

Has there been some critical change between 4.0.8 and 4.0.9?

Thanks for your help,

Thomas

Can you report here: https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues A sample file that shows the problem would be useful.
