RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - ezechiel1917 - 2013-08-11
ah cool, thanks guys!
RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - ursli - 2013-08-13
Just wanted to say thanks for all the hours you guys put in, with the latest activeae/vdpau commits cpu usage for me is lower then ever together with increased stability this is really turning into something rather good.
RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - ryszardzonk - 2013-08-13
I just noticed there is more work done https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/3037 by FernetMenta on vdpau. From commit I read code is meant to get the most out of ION, but would this help make vdpau work on open source radeon driver or there is still work to be done in there within the driver itself implementing missing features like interop?
RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - fritsch - 2013-08-13
This PR is basically the code that makes the ppa in this thread superior. Fernet is shipping it upstream :-)
Concerning your radeon oss - we have now said multiple times, that the driver, though being a good start, misses corefeatures, which need to be implemented upstream first.
RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - ryszardzonk - 2013-08-13
I new form my personal tries with radeon oss about month ago that there is work in the driver still to be done, but more work on the vdpau and few posts in the forum here and there made me think I missed something ^^. Anyways keep it up
RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - whoppr - 2013-08-14
I messed something up pretty bad in my install and rebuilding. I have been using the AMD cat drivers 12.10. I know there are some issues with these drivers beyond 12.10.
Is there a stable release that folks would recommend beyond this and what benefits are there? I will probably stick with 12.10 but was still curious if there is good luck with any later versions
Thanks
RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - fritsch - 2013-08-14
If you can keep Catalyst 12.10, keep it - everything after it (despite the shipped driver for Ubuntu 12.10 (a specially modified version for Ubuntu 9.000)) is broken or it needs some manual work to get it going halfway ...
Note: The 13.6 solution with 13.8 amdxvba.so files is working for 90% of the users - but it has evil performance problems, when you combine it with boblight. This was a user report on IRC.

So after this merge what will be the differences between the main xbmc and this ppa? In a near future the developement wiil switch to the main xbmc o it will continue here?
RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - fritsch - 2013-08-14
Main differences:
- this ppa has SDL dropped and has proper xrandr support
- this ppa has XVBA for amd gpus
Bot are some 1000 lines of code - so will need some time, nothing too fast - i don't think everything gets in to gotham.
RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - ezechiel1917 - 2013-08-17
can anyone check if you have also xbmc crash when you press Stop button while LiveTV is playing and DialogPVRChannelsOSD.xml (OSD Channel list) window is active ?

If it is suspended for a while it's immediate crash when system wakes up. If I do suspend and resume fast after that. It wakes up fine but crashes when first occurance of "DEBUG: CPVRTimers - Update - updating timers" happens. In meantime I can play Live TV just fine.
What's the proper place to report these two bugs?
Thanks Ez.
RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - fritsch - 2013-08-17
You are at the right place. But the debug log you posted - is (you might guess it) so minimal that one cannot see anything. There is also nothing wrong in the log.
What do you mean with "crash" - segfault or "hang"?
Proper Debug Log please.
RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - ezechiel1917 - 2013-08-17
Sorry for that... I don't have tracing enabled atm, had some hdd space issues with it (will look at it later), so there is nothing more in the log when this happens. xbmc crashes (segfaults I guess because it is restarted immediately) and "DEBUG: ------ Window Deinit (DialogPVRChannelsOSD.xml) ------" is last line there, same goes for resume for suspend issue, last line "DEBUG: CPVRTimers - Update - updating timers".
RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - fritsch - 2013-08-17
Ha, cool - yes, I could reproduce. Thanks for reporting.
