Hello,

I recently bought a zotac 9300-ITX to create a custom HTPC.

I installed ubuntu 8.10, downloaded all the updates (including nvidia drivers + vdpau support).

I've followed Readme.linux to download XBMC sources through SVN and compiled them by the book ( --enable-vdpau). The only problem is that the killa-sampla.x264.mkv still runs very slowly and the cpu reaches 100%

I also tried to compile mplayer with vdpau support but it keeps crashing too (check pastebin)

What am I doing wrong ?

Not following the sticky on how to post problems in a useful manner for one. Wink

How much RAM did you dedicate to video?

How much RAM is allocated to the GPU?

Why did you paste the mplayer debugspew and not the xbmc on an XBMC forum?! lol

check your bios vram setting.

motd2k · 2009-04-27, 20:54

I reckon you should maybe check your VRAM setting.

Sorry, will read it right now ! Smile

Because it complains about vdpau and it could be related. Also, I couldn't find a xbmc.log

I already did that but I don't know what should I consider as a bad "setting". Sad

Also, did you explicitly set video player settings to VDPAU, or are you using auto detect?

BINGO !

That was my problem ! After enabling it my cpu load passed from 100% to 5~10%

Thanks ! Big Grin
