I am using a 64-bit Kabini based system (AMD Athlon 5350) with= Kodi 14.0 on an up-to-date Arch linux. Kodi plays this=20 h= ttps://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/hi10p_sample.mp4?w=3DAAC8qnXfS0xxWbd5Fc2bkvWx= MxeqlUiSkL-Dxe5C5BDVyw&dl=3D1&_subject_uid=3D6760021 small sample file fine with kernel 3.16.x, but with kernel >=3D 3.17 the= playback is only 1 fps (like a slideshow). It is a hi10p video, so Kodi uses pure software decoding. I've done a git bisect between 3.16 and 3.17-rc1 and found that 02376d8282b88f07d0716da6155094c8760b1a13 is the first bad commit. commit 02376d8282b88f07d0716da6155094c8760b1a13 Author: Michel D=C3=A4nzer <michel.daenzer@amd.com> Date: Thu Jul 17 19:01:08 2014 +0900 drm/radeon: Allow write-combined CPU mappings of BOs in GTT (v2) v2: fix rebase onto drm-fixes Signed-off-by: Michel D=C3=A4nzer <michel.daenzer@amd.com> Reviewed-by: Christian K=C3=B6nig <christian.koenig@amd.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Deucher <alexander.deucher@amd.com> Then I applied the patch found in c= omment 30 of bug 84627 attachment 11024 [details] (as I use 64-bit system). This patch worked around the problem on 3.17 and on the latest 3.19-rc5 ker= nel as well and now Kodi plays the above video 24 fps.
