I have a revo R1600 atom/ion system
I was having trouble playing a certain 1080p video and thought I would try updating.
I now have Linux 3.5.0-37-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP and XBMC 13.0-ALPHA5 Git:9372af7
Video GPU: ION/integrated/SSE2
OpenGL version: 3.3.0 NVIDIA 304.88

I tried upgrading the video driver as well and get VDPAU working properly but something has gone terribly wrong.
Now half of the settings are missing from SYSTEM/VIDEO/PLAYBACK
and whenever I try to play ANY video I get a black screen.
Is there any way to recover from this or am I going to have to start all over from scratch?

The settings are just hidden, open the left-hand drawer and change the setting level to advanced or expert. Then post a debug log when you try playing something.

How did you upgrade? I wouldnt use alpha xbmc if youre not prepared for breakage. Whats the output of

ls /etc/apt/sources.list.d/

?

Well don't I feel dumb right now Big Grin

Thank you for the quick reply.
I had to turn off "SYNC PLAYBACK TO DISPLAY" to get my videos playing again.
I still have trouble with the video I was trying to play earlier though.
I don't know how to tell if VDPAU is really working properly.
Its 3 AM here so I've got to get some sleep now but I'll post a debug later this evening
Thanks

Well I couldn't help tinkering a bit more.
In order to get my 1080p video to display I had to also turn off VAAPI
But the video still plays in slow motion.
I tried turning off and on all of the different rendering settings but nothing I tried made any difference.
Always slow motion playback on this video.
Well, here's my debug log.
I'm sure I have lots of things wrong.
I played the video a little and then skipped ahead and let it play a little more.

I went through and pulled out all of the warnings and errors.

Do you think it is just an incompatible file?
How can I know if the video drivers are working properly?

The file is on an external WD USB drive. Why would I be getting all of those warnings?

I also have discovered that skins are not working now.

That model does not support every size of video frame. Read the nvidia readme in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-current/README.txt.gz - search for VDPAU FEATURES NOTE 1.

mrdos · 2013-08-18, 05:21

Quote:VDPAU Features Note 1

GPUs with this note may not support H.264 streams with the following widths: 49, 54, 59, 64, 113, 118, 123, 128 macroblocks (769-784, 849-864, 929-944, 1009-1024, 1793-1808, 1873-1888, 1953-1968, 2033-2048 pixels).

Would this cause me to get "WARNING: CDVDMessageQueue(audio)::Get - asked for new data packet, with nothing available" ?

nickr · 2013-08-18, 06:06

I am not sure but it explains the error referred to by fritsch in post #6

mrdos: What is the frame buffer size set to in the BIOS of your ION board?
I had a 'catch all' vdpau error and increasing the frame buffer from 256MB to 512MB in BIOS solved it for me.
