Is this something that has been already reported to a bug tracking database?<br class="">

I had mentioned HDHomeRun Prime + Comcast because I thought the PIP problems might be related to the type of video (perhaps 2 simultaneous 720p/1080i streams was straining the Intel HD 2000 GPU more than it could handle, and perhaps a GT 730 better GPU could).<br class=""></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">my tuner is a Ceton InfiniTV ETH 6 on comcast but previously i was using a hdhomerun with no problems. </div></div><br class=""></div><div class="gmail_extra">YMMV!</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br class=""></div><div class="gmail_extra">best regards,</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br class=""></div><div class="gmail_extra">per hatlevik</div></div></div></blockquote><br class=""></div><div>Thanks. So VDPAU can indeed work for PIP using comcast's 720p/1080i streams, even on a lower end GT218 / GT210. That is quite interesting. </div><div><br class=""></div><div>Maybe PIP code is better optimized for the VDPAU than the VAAPI, given that an old GT218 can decode 2 simultaneous PIP decodings whereas the Intel i5-2400's HD2000 using VAAPI cannot seem to do it at all?</div><div><br class=""></div><div>That was kind of my first thought after finding out the PIP was not working well. Maybe I will have to get an nvidia card to test this out...</div><div><br class=""></div><div>I might have been secretly hoping PIP was indeed borked, so I could justify watching everything through the one interface of Kodi which would greatly simplify my life and the WAF. </div><div><br class=""></div><div>But, If PIP does indeed work, I would like it. This means a lot more work, since I'll have to spend a lot of time making MythFE's and Kodi's keybindings as identical as possible, which I think is mostly doable, although I think it might become tricky managing to get all of the extra functionality that MythFE brings, such as commercial skipping, all mapped into the limited amount of buttons I have my 1 Tivo remote. Right now I'm using a Flirc which works great.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>On a side note, is there a good way of creating a global keybinding in Ubuntu that would toggle between MythFE and Kodi? Such that the first press would launch MythFE if not running, otherwise it forward, while a second press would either bring forward Kodi or launch if not already running?</div><div><br class=""></div></body></html>
