Weird staircase-like distortion patterns in UHD videos since September update

Hi Sam,

Do Chillbo’s instructions still apply for switching from stable to the staging repo?

  1. Login via the command line
  2. Edit the file /etc/apt/sources.list
  3. Add the following line: deb http://apt.osmc.tv stretch-devel main
  4. Run the following commands to update: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && reboot
  5. Your system should have have received the update.

Yes, it should reproduce the error but so would any other 2160p YT vid. I’ve tried with other UHD vids on YT, the one linked was just an example. It happens with all of them as long as they’re 2160p. 1080p and 1440p are not affected.

If switching to staging won’t solve the problem, the only other displays with which I can test are my two 1080p PC monitors. No idea if playing the local 2160p file and having Kodi downscale it to 1080p for the monitor will yield the same results but we’ll see.

Thanks for your suggestions! I’ll try and report back with the findings this evening.
