@whitewind
Whats your CPU usage when you play this 720p video?

When playing 720p:
kodi.bin: 150%
X: 45%
When playing 1080i:
kodi.bin: 180%
X: 25%

Could you say what are You patching in libMali.so ?
  1. <__egl_platform_swap_buffers+40>     ldr    r3, [pc, #36] <__egl_platform_swap_buffers+42>     movs   r2, #0
  2. <__egl_platform_swap_buffers+44>     add    r4, sp, #24 ; There was #28
  3. <__egl_platform_swap_buffers+46>     add    r3, pc
  4. <__egl_platform_swap_buffers+48>     ldr    r0, [r3, #4]
  5. <__egl_platform_swap_buffers+50>     movs   r3, #0
  6. <__egl_platform_swap_buffers+52>     str    r4, [sp, #16]
  7. <__egl_platform_swap_buffers+54>     strd   r2, r3, [sp]
  8. <__egl_platform_swap_buffers+58>     strd   r2, r3, [sp, #8]
  9. <__egl_platform_swap_buffers+62>     ldr    r0, [r0, #4]
  10. <__egl_platform_swap_buffers+64>     bl     0xb6f5cf64 <DRI2SwapBuffers>
Copy code
See comment in line <+44>
I think it's a bug in call to DRI2SwapBuffers. I'm not sure, but it seems that last parameter is something like some_struct *s and someone passed wrong pointer, so stack gets corrupted when DRI2SwapBuffers tries to write something to &s

This is software decoding.

Yes, but this is hardware rendering. With software rendering it wasn't possible to play HD videos with reasonabe FPS

So basicly , GPU is doing some work, but actual h264 is still inactive.

The only thing that bothers me is that Kodi segfaults somewhere in libc from time to time. I'm using kodi-odroid, so I'll try to rebuild from source.

Here is my repository with patched libMali.so, updated headers and pkg-config files from @raoulh:
