pvr-addons are now available in the same ppa.

@wsnipex: Thanks very much!

I'm having problems playing certain avi/divx files... XBMC crashes entirely.

dmesg
XBMC Debug
Xorg
vdpauinfo
dpkg

Thanks, let me know if any more info is needed.

Thanks for this feedback, we found the cause and have fixed it already (yesterday). Did you upgrade xbmc this morning?

Fix is here: https://github.com/FernetMenta/xbmc/comm...d977148081

You're right, I didn't update this morning. All working now, thanks

@acandido: If you can and have a machine != E450 and != E350 please provide some qvdpautest benchmarks. If you need help to get them, just join #xbmc-xvba

@fritsch
Does MIXER TEMPORAL_SPATIAL mean advanced deinterlacing for 1080i via GPU? OP says BOB. I am running an nv610 on an a4 3400. Would luv to ditch it. PQ is priority. Thx for the hard work on this one.

If you compare the numbers you will see that the values stay constant, so qvdpautest fakes here.

But temp / spat is currently in progress and will hit vdpau oss soon, here are two images for you:

Find the better one.

A is the better one

You have qualified for the next round :-)

Z has less jaggie's look at the buildings on left above door line. Yuk! 8).
Edit. Y has the jaggies. So A is better!

qvdpauinfo:

I just walked through the howto.

I followed the xvba-thread from the beginning and really appreciate the work, thank you all.

Hi guys,

Identical issue here as reported by locomot1f, only happening in XBMC GUI:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wxij5f2fdy4p5j....43.56.mp4

Also I still have the no-sound issue!
Followed the steps from first post one on one. What on earth could be wrong??
Please note, I have now updated to kernel 3.12 rc3 since the dropbox 3.11.1 didn't enable audio in dmesg, 3.12 does.

3.12-rc3 needs you to enable HDMI audio explicitely with xrandr, therefore I ported all the stuff back to 3.11.


should make audio working on 3.12-rc3. This -rc3 does not have the HD-Audio patches and it misses the cea mode fixes. Concerning your visual artifacts, could you remove the radeon.dpm=1 from the kernel command line and retry?

Also post your xorg.conf and try to add: Option "EXAPixmaps" "off"

Next try to set: XAA acceleration in xorg.conf
