XBMC hardware video decoding support?
#1
Hi,

I wonder if the current XBMC supports HW video decode? Is there a list of supported GPUs/APIs? or any related documents?

Thanks!

Yes. We support most.

VDPAU, VA-API, CrystalHD, OpenMAX (on tegra2) on linux.
DXVA and CrystalHD on windows.
on OSX we support CrystalHD and that normal osx thingy iirc.

As to what gpu just get one that supports vdpau, thats generally your best bet (e.g. ION)

Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

Thanks for your help Laugh

I think I have the VA-API driver interface. How can I configure XBMC to use it? Or, will XBMC search for available APIs automatically?
