Slow down of Hyperion.ng

skupi · 6 August 2018 15:45

In logs i found:

[hyperiond AMLOGICGRABBER] (INFO) VPU mode
[hyperiond AMLOGICGRABBER] (ERROR) AMSTREAM_EXT_GET_CURRENT_VIDEOFRAME failed.
[hyperiond AMLOGICGRABBER] (WARNING) GE2D capture interface not available! try Amvideocap instead

I have ge2d in /dev

So slowdowns could be still there

The “/dev/ge2d” capture device works fine for me. I did not have enough time to test stability yet. Fingers crossed.

skupi · 6 August 2018 19:56

how you set it? i mean hyperion to use it, are you use other drivers pack or default one?

sakos · 7 August 2018 07:13

I installed hyperion.ng addon, opened the configuration page (boxip:8090) put “/dev/ge2d” into the device field on grabber HW page then saved config and restarted the addon.

Can you please double check the hyperion.ng logs?

I get the same issue as @skupi :

 [hyperiond ComponentRegister] (INFO) Framegrabber: activated

 [hyperiond AMLOGICGRABBER] (ERROR) AMSTREAM_EXT_GET_CURRENT_VIDEOFRAME failed.

It looks like when the ge2d isn’t available it fallbacks to framebuffer (fb0) hence there’s no change.

Is this thread of any use (really) to anyone ?

newkind · 7 August 2018 13:58

I’d treat it as an issue thread where we discuss possible solutions for the issue. There might not be any fix in here (so far), but I think that we should keep it.

Poida · 7 August 2018 14:14

OK, just getting a bit long (and boring) for those that might look here for answers

sakos · 7 August 2018 15:25

Strange, I cannot see the same error in my logs. Nothing about the GE2D interface either.
There is this line: [hyperiond AMLOGICGRABBER] (INFO) FB mode. I guess it means fallback to standard framebuffer.

Please keep open this topic, until the issue is concluded.

danielfmo · 7 August 2018 15:43

Are you sure that you’re using the right version of hyperion? hyperion.ng from CE repo?

cirkator · 7 August 2018 15:55

I am getting the same log messages as @newkind.
I am definitely using hyperion.ng from CE repo.

sakos · 7 August 2018 16:07

I think so. Is my config incorrect?

benoe · 7 August 2018 16:57

The “AMSTREAM_EXT_GET_CURRENT_VIDEOFRAME failed.” message only comes up, when you start a movie. Until that point I didn’t have any message about GE2D either.

sakos · 7 August 2018 16:59

Regardless, it does not work. The picture freezes after a while.

TheCoolest · 7 August 2018 17:14

We identified an issue, and working on fixing it, hopefully it’ll fix GE2D.

skupi · 7 August 2018 17:32

Error show on movie playback cause it tries use amlogic grabber, first ge2d if cant find use amvidecocap. That way we still see slowdowns. On kodi menu hyperion use framegrabber.

cirkator · 7 August 2018 17:59

Thanks for trying to get this to work. To everyone involved!

vision2003 · 13 August 2018 11:35

Any news or progress on getting GE2D fixed?

vevs · 15 August 2018 10:15

Just in case: there is no need to have any hardware, setting “device” to “/dev/null” in the hyperion.config.json is enough to reproduce the lags. If you willing to try, i could provide a full config file for testing.
