Hi guys,

First my configuration is a Nvidia ION platform + Debian Squeeze. I'am currently running Frodo (manually compiled)

I'm trying to compile XBMC v13 beta X from the git repo (need 3D support for the GUI!!!)

First problem, I don't know how to grab the correct version with git

I thought I downloaded Beta 2 (I did it the day it was annouced) but after compilation, the version was 14 alpha... I must confess I don't really know/understand git but it seems to be the only way to get beta version when ure running Debian...

Anyway I did manage to compile v14

XBMC works OK except that 1080p (and even 720p) are played at poor FPS.

The log tells me that :

Code:

NOTICE: CDVDVideoCodecFFmpeg::GetFormat - Creating VDPAU(1920x800)
NOTICE: VDPAU: compilation without required extension GL_NV_vdpau_interop
NOTICE:  (VDPAU) Close

I tried to update the Nvidia driver, no luck, I tried to compile libvdpau manually, no luck. Each time I recompiled XBMC

Any suggestion ?

you need glew-dev 1.5.7 or higher for building

Hi,

Thx for the reply,

You mean I need the library and then I have to recompile XBMC or just libvdpau ?

Is there a specific ./configure option I need to enable ?

[FernetMenta]

You need a newer version of glew: http://glew.sourceforge.net/
Then recompile, that's it.

[FernetMenta]

You may also need a newer version of libgl1-mesa-dev.
Debian those required extensions are from 2010!

Ok thank you for the replies, I'm trying ASAP.

Can you give me some advice for git ?

squeezy is really really old. I'd say update to testing

git checkout Gotham

But does not really matter. The only difference between master branch and Gotham is the label.

[Mowh]

This means you cannot chose which release you want to download ?

[FernetMenta]

I don't know in what way you intend to use git. In general you clone a repository and check out the desired branch

git clone https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git
cd xbmc
git checkout Gotham

or download Gotham
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/archive/Gotham.zip

[Mowh]

What I meant is that you have the ability, or not, to select a specific version (beta 2, beta 3, stable etc.)

download archive or checkout particular version

Thanks for the help, XBMC now works flawlessly

I'll try to download a beta version with git instead of the v14 Alpha
