100% CPU usage

[wsw70]

When starting a fresh container, I get a 100% CPU usage by kodi-x11 --standalone (as measured by htop.

Kodi is unusable: most of the time it is frozen, then unfreezes for a short amount of time (to freeze back again).

The previous standalone version did not have any problems (Ubuntu 18.04.2, Intel Skylake, 8 GB memory). This is just to highlight the fact that it is likely a misconfiguration on my side (and not a hardware performance limitation)

I wonder if this might be related to #17 about missing video decoding drivers.
You could try to add libxv1 and va-drivers-all to the image. This probably fixes #22, too.

I agree with @mviereck in that this sounds like a driver issue. Could you try installing libxv1 and va-drivers-all into the image to see if that makes any difference? Here's a Dockerfile that you could build and run locally, instead of erichough/kodi:latest.

I built the image but the issue is the same (Kodi freezing). The startup is cleaner, though:

---> starting Kodi with command: kodi-standalone
Connection failure: Connection refused
pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused
libva info: VA-API version 1.1.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_1
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0

As mentioned in #17, adding --priviledged fixed the issue.

Also, with --priviledged the erichough/kodi:latest image works great.
