RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-10-04
All the logfiles are looking great.
Make sure you are member of the video group.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - locomot1f - 2013-10-04
yup --
it's really beyond tearing... cause it's not just horizontal.
it's like all this "noise" in the display.
here's a pic: https://www.dropbox.com/sc/vf83py3qr9tzvro/0OISd3nk5N
should be pretty visible...
although a pic does not truley represent what is happening... because it's constantly flickering like this all over the screen.
like i said -- "noise"
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-10-04
No further ideas - i pinged @laric which has similar hardware to yours. Perhaps he knows what is going on.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - deadite66 - 2013-10-04
i've had that once on my e350, just assumed it was all the messing about i did with compiling from source so reinstalled raring.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - locomot1f - 2013-10-04
@ deadite, i see your tag... is your system running any GUI? (Xcfe, Unity, etc.)?
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - deadite66 - 2013-10-04
blackbox on my Panasonic tv, xfce on a vnc.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - lindworm - 2013-10-04
I just wanted to share my experience:
I installed Xubuntu 13.04 instead of the minimal version.
My hardware is as follows:
Mainboard: ASUS M4A78-E
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 4850e
GPU: HIS HD 4670
I had vertical tearing despite precisely following the tutorial (I skipped the xbmc.conf part in /etc/init) and xbmc crashed _every time_ I wanted to exit it.
After playing around a little I have no tearing and no more crashes with the following options different from the tutorial:
System->Settings->System->Video Settings:
Vertical Sync: Disabled
System ->Video->Playback:
Adjust Refreshrate to match video: Off
Sync Playback to Display: off
The other settings (including the advanced config) are the same and now my video playback is as smooth as I could wish for.
Also, xbmc only crashed once on exiting (of maybe 30 tries) and that was after I stuck a pendrive into the computer and the system pushed xbmc to the background to show me a message.
Sound over SP/DIF also works great, I just activated the SP/DIF device and passthrough in System > System > Audio Settings
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-10-04
The crash on exit is a hang I assume, which results from the System -> Addons -> Services -> Xbmc version check addon, you can disable it there (it will also hang after first exit after that, but not afterwards).
radeon does vsync by default, you can see this in the Xorg.0.log
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - locomot1f - 2013-10-04
i just don't think it has anything to do with VSYNC...
i don't have any crashes. it's just as if for whatever reason, my setup is unable to render the XBMC GUI properly.
on a side note. i loaded the Lubuntu, and was able to use the Experimental Drivers
Code:
To force the use of gallium i915 driver:
$ LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/dri-alternates glxgears -infodefinate improvement in image...
unfortunately, my XBMC still jitters all over the place.

Thanks, xbmc also "crashed" a few times when it encountered an error, but after disabling the version check addon it didn't hang again.

Good to know!
Full HD playback and audio work really well, but I'd like to install the tvheaded pvr plugin (I got tvheaded itself from http://apt.tvheadend.org/stable), which isn't in the fernetmenta-master repository.
So I grabbed xbmc-pvr-tvheadend-hts-1.6.19-0raring from https://launchpad.net/~wsnipex/+archive/xbmc-prestable/ and installed it via dpkg -i.
That was obviously not enough, because after enabling the addon in xbmc it seemed ok, but as soon as I activated the PVR manager, I got an error message saying I should check the logs. And that's what I did, here's the interesting part:
http://pastebin.com/bCjnPzPd
Could you recommend me a source to get pvr addons that are compatible with this build?
Kind regards,
lindworm
edit: added tvheaded source
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-10-04
I will ask wsnipex to also build the xbmc-pvr-addons for easy installation.

great, thanks!
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - wbsoul - 2013-10-04
Hi guys, any way to make this happen on debian wheezy?
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-10-04
@wbsoul: I think you have to compile everything mentioned on the first page from source. That is doable but gets you work for a complete week.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - BenvanDamme - 2013-10-05
I succesfully built it on Archlinux.
I added the needed patches to the PKGBUILD of the 3.11-2 Kernel and the mesa-full packages.
Here is the edited PKGBUILD and the Patches for mesa.
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mesa-full-amd-vdpau/
Because of some restrictions i am unable to upload the edited kernel PKGBUILD to the aur.
Here are my results
