Hi,<br>
<br>
That might be it. I'll test when I get home.<br>

<br>
I just bought one of these units (<a

The price was right, and I had the RAM and SSD
already.<br>
<br>
The first thing I did was install Lubuntu and a
mythfrontend. It works pretty well, but my
regular frontend is a quad core AMD with an Nvidia
GT 730. There are definitely quality differences
in the video.<br>
<br>
vainfo gives me this:<br>
<br>
vainfo: VA-API version: 0.38 (libva 1.6.0)<br>
vainfo: Driver version: Intel i965 driver for
Intel(R) Bay Trail - 1.6.0<br>

<br>
Is there anything I can do to tweak the video?
Kodi seems to give me better quality.<br>
<br>
I'd probably be better off with the Brix i3
version and Intel HD 5500 video, but it has a fan
and I'm not sure how much noise it generates.<br>

<div class="gmail_extra">Interlaced Video: You will
surely see a difference in video quality. Mythfrontend
does not utilize the latest deinterlacers provided by
the Intel Graphics driver. Even if it did, I am not
sure that they are as good as the Nvidia GPU
deinterlacers. Kodi has a much larger developer group
and most likely uses the latest features of the Intel

Interestingly, after I ran Kodi, the MythTV de-interlacing
looked much better. I'll have to experiment a bit.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Nah, I couldn't duplicate it.<br>
<br>
The video is so bad under MythFrontend and the WAF is zero for
Kodi, so I'll fix my Quad Core AMD/Nvidia GT 730 system and go
back to that. Too bad.<br>

<div>Are you testing using LiveTV? At one point (IIRC) there was a
bug that every other channel change (ie alternating) would
revert to software decoding.</div>
