Bug report
4K HDR10 encodes with Amlogic-ng stutter
With CoreELEC Amlogic-ng builds, encodes of 4K HDR10 movies stutter, both on latest nightly and stable. Older Amlogic, S905X, S912 etc are not affected as I’ve verified it on S905X running latest stable 9.2.0 build. All samples play fine in VLC on a PC and my Samsung TV’s internal player. I’ve in addition remuxed the samples to not include TrueHD Atmos tracks, yet the stuttering still occur and are not related to audio tracks in the samples.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behaviour:
- Download any of the samples over at GD: CE Aml-ng playing 4K HDR encodes stutter.
- Play any one of them on CE Amlogic-ng device (S905X2, S922X…)
- Play any one of them on CE Amlogic device (S905, S912…)
Debuglog
I did not enable logging, so I don’t have a debug log. However, here is another user’s debug log from playback of another encode with stuttering (http://ix.io/1ZKj) from the post in Odroid N2 test builds.
