Hi,
I read a web post saying xbmc was fast on the new amd apu.
I tried an install on a HTPC AMD e-350 apu.
Everything installed fine, but the interface is unbelievably slow.
if anyone knows why? does xbmc, not support apu's at the moment? or is the hardware too slow.
it's a dual 1.6 with GPU on the chip.
4 gigs ram.
any input is appreciated.
I found this iso online
xbmc-10.0-live-amd.iso
was a recompile for the apu I think. I loaded the live cd, and the interface worked great. I tried to install it. had problems.
I am new to xbmc, so what I will do is reinstall the latest and try to figure out how to get the logs.
may take some tinkering around. I have no idea what I'm doing. I hope I can get the logs through the web interface as the normal one is unbelievably slow.
Until the next version of XBMC Live is released you might be better off using Windows 7.

Here we go.
I thought about running windows 7 if I have too. seems like a huge waste of resources though. trying this route first. Hoping, praying. lol
here's the log

The Zacate heavily relies on DXVA hardware acceleration to operate. It runs great on my HTPC I just built (windows 7) but it's CPU power alone is very much lacking. If the XBMC Live doesn't support its GPU acceleration capabilities then I doubt you're going to get far.
@vertigo262: I deleted the log to spare you a flaming. Please don't post logs in the forum as they're too big and just clutter everything up. Logs should be copied and pasted to
http://pastebin.com/ and the link pasted here.
In any case, your revelation that you're using XBMC-Live v10.0 is all we needed as hardware acceleration isn't supported. If you don't want to use Windows OpenElec would be a good option. I think you'll find it works just fine on Windows though. I use Windows 7 on a much humbler Revo 3610 and that's just fine using XBMC.

I'm using it with a AMD E-350 with a minimal Ubuntu install and it works great! It doesn't handle 1080p movies too well, but anything below is beautiful.
If you need any help with setting something like this up, PM me
Hi JR,
Sorry about that.
here is the log

ok,, so your saying version 11 will support it though?
I guess I will install winblows. ewww. hahaha
I was just looking into OpenElec which you gave me.
I did not realize it was a xbmc version. seems really streamlined, and supports my hardware.
Are there any drawbacks to using this? feature wise? expandability wise? or update wise?
