VLC/Xine certainly stutters. But Kodi doesn't, on the same file, reason unknown, I still have not reported it on bugzilla.
I assume this will most likely be a codec problem, you need to get the right one for SOC/hardware acceleration. See recent post "VLC segmentation fault" for an analogous problem/solution on skylake. PS or "select" the correct one Well, the video hardware is Intel, so basically either the kernel has the proper "driver", or it doesn't and you are stuck.
possibly? are you saying the kernal doesnt have the driver? or that changing codecs is unecessary if the kernel does have the correct driver??
I say that with Intel video you basically have no choice of driver.
Kodi has a bunch of packages that are binary-addons. It is possible that this does the trick, because kodi works fine.
the OP says kodi is ok, it is vlc that is the problem. kodi comes with custom codecs and custom setup - why are you giving a list of kodi binaries, how would they solve the vlc problem?
In this subthread /I/ am the OP, and yes, I say that VLC does not work, and kodi does work, and that a possible reason may be precisely the existence of those binaries. That is the reason I post the list. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
