@Morrtin: Can you join #xbmc-xvba?
Your error message tells, that you missed a package to install.
@Frank-NL:
See the very first post. I linked to the OE testing thread. This version includes Frodo.

Morrtin, as you already assumed, your vaapi install is somehow broken. Maybe you need to upgrade libva-glx1 as well.
Can you run "sudo apt-get upgrade" and try again?
If it still fails:
dpkg -l libva* | pastebinit
apt-cache policy xbmc | pastebinit

After updating to 3.9.4 (downloaded the dvb headers for this kernel) it is working even better.
No dark picture so that's fixed.
It seems nVidia also had a 59.94 refresh rate, now I only have 50 and 60. Is that going to be a problem? Switching refresh rates is still slow (3-4 secs), it used to be instant. Any hints or tips?
Will the vaapi branch be separate or is it going to be included in the frodo stable branch?
It looks like I will have a GT610 for sale... For now I am quite satisfied with BOB :D

Thanks. It's not the tv since the nVidia driver did it a lot faster and did not cause HDMI to appear on the TV. So it looks like intel does a more thorough reset of the HDMI connection which takes more time and causes the TV to init again.
I'm going to try if your OE build makes any difference when I have more spare time.
Currently watching 1080i and still working like a charm! Whoohoo.

I think your nvidia just did not switch ;-) cause you had "Adjust Refreshrate to match video" not enabled - if TV switches, it must appear.

No it switched before, I didn't touch the setting after enabling VAAPI. Anyway, minor issue.

After a nice session with fritsch and wsnipex I can report that vaapi is running on my system.
Good job guy's!
EDIT: Only the Setting System -> Settings -> System -> Video Hardware: Vertical Blank Sync: Always enabled. results in a little miss behaving.
DIM Screensaver is not dimming anymore. Solution / Workaround is to set it to "Enable on playback"

If you add the ppa prior to installing the packages, it is quite clear that these packages get installed uptodate. Btw. libva1 and libva-glx1 are dependencies of libva-intel-vaapi-driver. The should be installed when just specifiing the vaapi-driver. I only added them, cause someone told, that they would not be installed - just to be on the safe side. vainfo is no dependency of these packages - it is also not needed. But I need it, when I want to find bugs. So that i can easily check if vaapi is working.
The bug with the screensaver I noted. It is also a upstream bug.
Oki, thanks again for testing and now have a nice time with your setup :-)

Is there any chance this feature will be part of official next frodo update?

no, new features never get into bugfix releases.
