Hi,
Does the PPC version of XBMC support GPU assist?
So that an old G5 can still output 1080p with a decent graphics card (7800GS)
Best,

I just tried it on a old G5 (1.6Ghz, 1GB)
A 720p clip played flawlessly (didn't check the cpu load though), a 1080p clip was pretty jerky all over the place but not unplayable.
Couldn't it be possible with the quicktime hardware acceleration, Xvmc or GLSL in the future?
As a side-note, I will gladly test new and/or improved XBMC for ppc builds on my G5 machine. Can you give me the usernames of the PPC dev's or can I just install nightly's and file in bug reports?
