[TESTING] Linux 4.9 kernel and improved video stack for Vero 4K / 4K +

Here’s the list of things I’ve fixed since the last testbuild:

  • fixed hardware decoder underrun issue (reproducible with the ‘Tyler Rake’ sample)
  • fixed issues with small frame sizes where Kodi stopped sending data because it thought the hardware decoder has enough material to start decoding
  • fixed an issue where the decoder turned off video output if a corrupt stream was detected (reproducible with the ‘lagoon’ sample)
  • 3D subtitle depth issues (thanks to @angry.sardine for his testing help)
  • fixed an issue with the latest makemkv tool which did not store the ‘private data’ of 3D MVC streams as it used to
  • fixed garbage playback of 3D MVC if the file is named like whatever.3D.MVC.mkv (and probably no stereoscopic type set)
  • fixed an issue when playing an SDTV followed by a 3D MVC stream resulted in garbled video output
  • fixed a race condition in the Kodi logging module which could crash Kodi during shutdown
