Very exciting stuff! I'm happy I've got a 9500GT in my XBMC box.
Nvidia published patches for mplayer through ffmpeg; hopefully they're accepted quickly so we can get GPU offloading into XBMC 9.04.

Last update for now-
Some h264 samples from the mplayer site DO play, and cut the cpu TO anywhere from 10% to 40% of regular usage.
This is indeed going to be a big deal, but it seems there's still a good bit of work to do to get it stable, then still a while after that before we see it in xbmc.

No particular reason, just felt it might be useful if any devs are reading this forum to be aware of this new development.
but you can feel free to move this post to another section if you feel it is inappropriate.
sorry for the trouble.

Merged. No need for three of these threads.
