I was now finally able to catch frontend log with -v
playback,audio,timestamp while audio playback was not starting when
starting LiveTV using VAAPI2 and AVsync2.
AFD: Already opened codec not matching (H265 vs H265). Reopening
AFD: Could not open codec 0x61aa840, id(MP2) type(Audio) ignoring.
reason Das Argument ist ungültig (this translates to invalid argument)
I have tried to playback the same recording using mythavtest and audio
started without any problems.
My display is now set to 1920x1080@50, I was not able to reproduce with
VAAPI/AVsync2
Do you think it would be possible to enhance VAAPI(2) any futher to get
2160p HEVC playback without frame drops?
It looks like I'm currently unable to get Deep Color (10bpc) working
using Intel UHD graphics on Linux, with Nvidia GT 1030 I was able to use
10bpc, but since VDPAU does not support HEVC main 10 decoding I'm not
able to use the Nvidia card (would require mythtv to support CUDA/NVDEC).
It's not that I really would need Deep Color support currently, but I
would like to get HEVC main 10 hardware accellerated smooth playback
working without frame drops.
Thank you!
Andreas
