Have you dropped support for Crystal HD? My 1080p playback is now (after updating to Kodi17 RC1) jaggy and impossible to watch? PLayback info shows FF software decoding.
Please stop posting the same question in multiple places.
The answer is no.
I deleted the other one⌠Sorry!
Solutions to make it work again?
Debug log
Hi, I have been looking at the debug log and I cannot see any errors related to Crystal HD. What should I look for? ANy software reinstall that can be done? I gon one error related to skin files when updating, besides that all is normal. Running everything out of the box without add ons. When I press O on the keyboard I see that the CHD is not running, like it used to before update.
We need to see the debug log.

Iâm also experiencing similar issues. CPU hits 100%.
RAM shouldnât be problem, there is 50MB free when video is played.
FPS indicator doesnât show slowness. It shows 23.6-24.4 even if video is laggy.
Iâm sure FPS counter was working correctly before update.

It isnât in above log, but I have found even stranger behaviour. FPS counter shows numbers higher than movie framerate, playback is still laggy.
additional info: on the settings>player>videos the Processing section contains greyed out text âAllow hardware acceleration - CrystalHDâ.
It does not seem to be onvoced when playing H264 videos: When i press âoâ on the keyboard the ârenderer says ff-H264 (SW)â.
Can I reinstall OSMC/Kodi17 without touching the video library folder?
Use the backup feature in MyOsmc add-on and move the backup off the device. You can then restore after reinstall.
That is only the settings is it not? I am talking about all the media files on the drive. Can the OS be re-installed without touching the everything that is stored on the drive?
Did you get anything out of reading the logs? Does it show that CHD is not running?
I did fresh install. Nothing changed.
Do you need more logs or everything you need was posted before?
1920x1088 is too big. Decoder will only do 1920x1080.
Iâm sure that my files donât exceed this limit, even 720p are on the verge of fluent playback.
I have BCM970015.
Here is mediainfo from file being played in log I posted before.

I donât have USB keyboard. Could enable player debug information in different way?
it is the same with any content, this just happened to be when I took the picture. This file also
played ok under Jarvis.
here isak example from a simple DVD rip, that always played with CHD as decoder
I think you can first verify
Crystal HD is visible in settings.
