That line sudo apt-get install vaainfo libva-intel-vaapi-driver libva1 sudo reboot is actually two lines.

Code:
sudo apt-get install vaainfo libva-intel-vaapi-driver libva1 

sudo reboot

so what does this show you? (Again PLEASE ssh in and copy and paste!!)

Code:
dpkg -l vaainfo libva-intel-vaapi-driver libva1 pulseaudio libasound2-plugins

OK ii at the start of the line means installed, un means not installed. So you are right, it hasn't worked completely. I'm a little puzzled, not to mention at work, so will think about it later.

ArtVandalay7 · 2013-10-31, 04:02

Okay. Very confused at this point. Not sure what I did wrong since I downloaded the latest version of xbmcbuntu right from the official website (http://mirrors.xbmc.org/releases/XBMCbun...D.iso)--so I also didn't understand "Furthermore the Ubuntu version you chose is quite old". Just want to get it running reliably...

retry:

Code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio libasound2-plugins

sudo reboot

Code:
sudo apt-get install libva-intel-vaapi-driver vainfo pastebinit

and get us:

Code:
dpkg -l |grep libva | pastebinit

vainfo | pastebinit

nickr · 2013-10-31, 09:15

don't forget to install pastebinit first

Code:
sudo apt-get install pastebinit

**fritsch** · 2013-10-31, 14:23

See second command (was already there)

Ok, retried the first code and rebooted, the rest is as follows:

Also, I really can't play any of my music files anymore when they all played fine before...after ten seconds the whole media center freezes and crashes...

Is this info helpful to anyone for helping with this problem RE music playback? I have some friends coming in town this weekend and really wanted to get this fixed so I can play music, etc/show off XBMC... Smile

Are you kidding me? you install vainfo and afterwards it is not there? Post the complete terminal. including what the terminal answers.

ArtVandalay7 · 2013-11-01, 19:16

yes, for some reason it doesn't seem to install, I'm entering everything. I'll try it from scratch and post the whole thing as soon as I get home but I'm triple checking that I'm entering the code correctly as you have suggested...

nickr · 2013-11-01, 20:02

Maybe you are missing a repo. Try

Code:
apt-cache policy libva

ArtVandalay7 · 2013-11-01, 20:11

ok, will do in a few hours and report back...thanks again for trying to help!!!

well as you and I can now see the package name is libva1 not libva. Try installing libva1.
