RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/ATI Radeon and Fusion GPUs - FernetMenta - 2012-06-14
Ahh, did not know that. AFAIK wsnipex has only XvBA enabled in his ppa.
@wsnipex
do you see a change enabling vdpau and vaapi as well?
RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/ATI Radeon and Fusion GPUs - wsnipex - 2012-06-14
vdpau is already enabled in the testing ppa. I can enable vaapi too, but only if you change the priority of xvba to be higher then vaapi

XvBA is asked before VAAPI. It has always been this way. Did you observe different behavior?

In the beginning yes, but didn't check for a long time now. Will do over the weekend.

The testing version seems to work:
Here's a Xbmcbuntu 12.04 with xvba and eventually the new AudioEngine.

Thank you.
I assume the fix is in xbmc-xvba-testing?
@erhnam
Looks good. Think it would be possible to do a dist-upgrade from Xbmcbuntu 11.10 + ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba to Xbmcbuntu 12.04 + ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba-testing without causing all kinds of mayhem? For various reason testing with a Live system from USB/optical drive is not an option so I could try the dist-upgrade if it has a chance of succeeding.

@ernham: cool

Quote:I'm also using openSUSE (12.1 x86_64). I have no problem compiling the Eden branch, but there don't seem to be many recent commits to this branch - so it could be thought of as 'reasonably stable' I guess. The Master branch I've not been able to get compiled at all recently. Having said that I've just checked out the Master branch and had it build today, so I'm guessing that will include the AE patches ...

Hi Jon,
I could compile master after instaling a new lib-devel package (something with xml). Configure complained that it was missing. I compiled with pulse and now also without pulse.
For both videos with DTS-HD had no sound and were stuttering hard sometimes. For other vids everything was fine.
I am on OpenSuse Tumbleweed (3.4 kernel) x64, LXDE with compiz 0.8 + emerald (made no problems so far), AMD E-350.
Can I help the devs with a debug/error-report of some kind? The please leat me know how to make one. I would like to beta-test further versions.
cheers, tom
RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/ATI Radeon and Fusion GPUs - nichiren - 2012-06-18
I've dist-upgraded my system from XBMCbuntu Oneiric to Ubuntu Precise and changed the ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba to ppa
nipex/xbmc-xvba-testing. I can confirm that the audio offset issue is corrected.However, now I've got hit another snag I cannot seem to find a solution.
First of all, it appears that using same playback settings (ie. the recommended ones from the first page; aticonfig --sync-vsync=on, vertical blank sync always on, sync playback to display video clock drop/dupe) that worked previously I get extremely erratic playback with visual stuttering and fluctuating FPS bad enough to make the video unwatchable.
Setting sync playback to display off makes the playback more stable but there are still some random stuttering/temporary loss of sync every now and then.
Does this sound familiar? If needed, I can supply debug logs from a playback and other details tomorrow.
Another issue is that any reasonably recent fglrx driver (any 12.n release at least) cause "ASIC hang happened" crashing on playback anywhere between 5 and 50 minutes of playback. Only way to recover from this is reboot. Since apparently the only driver version available in Ubuntu Precise repositories is Catalyst 12.4 (driver 8.960), I've worked around the problem by manually installing the same Catalyst 11.11 installed by Ubuntu Oneiric fglrx-updates (driver 8.911) I knew to work.
After googling around a bit I concluded that this is an issue with the Catalyst drivers and I'll just have to bite the bullet till AMD releases new drivers that work.
RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/ATI Radeon and Fusion GPUs - wsnipex - 2012-06-18
we don't have any reports of the problem you are describing. can you post a debug log and a sample please?
Also, does this happen with all kinds of videos or only a specific one?

Hi, I recently encounter that the xbmc hangs when I play mp3 music from the harddrive.
I can't find out what causes it. I use ubuntu 12.04 with xvba repo for xbmc.
Here's the crashlog. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3523108/xbmc_crashlog-20120616_104230.log
Hope you guys can advice me.

@Beninho:
Could you enable debugging and also install gdb?
1.) System -> Settings -> System -> Debug
2.) sudo apt-get install gdb
and let it crash again?
Code:
10:36:29 T:140521323485056Mmmh the first log line looks funny, never realised this before.
RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/ATI Radeon and Fusion GPUs - Beninho - 2012-06-19
Hi Fritsch,
Just did that, the systems hangs, but does not produce a crashlog.
That's strange. What can cause this?

Hello, i know thats the https://launchpad.net/~wsnipex/+archive/xbmc-xvba repo is a "testing" one. But maybe you are interested aswell. My XBMC crash if i start the PVR fuction with xvdr.
My XBMC debug logs looks normal until it stops and in syslog i got
Code:
XVDR-Error: cxSocket::read: read() error at 0/4
