I`ve install everything from the howto and it works for me...
but how can I install the xbmc-pvr-addons... are missing in xbmc...
I know fritsch has told me weeks ago for my amd but now I´m on i3 4330 and i forget it...Angry
apt-cache search xbmc-pvr :-)

then apt-get install the relevant package

was not hard, was it?
thanks, I knew it was easy... but I can`t remember
Two more question, before I installed ubuntu mini I tried OpenELEC 4.0. and I could wake up my HTPC on USB Keyboard and by IR from S4. That dosen't work anymore...
And with OE comes the sc-Plugin for VDR but I can't find it by methode from above...
whats the sc-plugin? do you mean the vnsi backend plugin? -> vdr-plugin-vnsiserver
Yes right, it's a VDR-backend Plugin. If install OpenELEC it is allredy there.
Not part of that howto. I am not a distributor. I just told how to get deinterlacing and xbmc running.

Currently my company does not pay me for user support :-) </ironic>
I would like a simple confirmation. To have deinterlacing on celeron g540 with debian I need to compile xbmc myself?
Yes, with internal ffmpeg, internal libs and with --disable-pulse and with the sources from this tree: https://github.com/FernetMenta/xbmc (master branch)

./bootstrap ; ./configure --enable-vaapi --disable-vdpau --disable-pulse
make -j4
sudo make install

PS: You need some dependencies that debian probably does not ship. libtag in a correct version for example.

Okay, you are right...
I, thougt some one else has problem with wake on USB

Thanks for the HowTo
Just wanted to thank you for this. It is great to have HW decoding combined with a quality deinterlacer.
Tested and working great on my HSW based laptop. Image quality is really great !

Thanks a lot !
I followed the howto and it works, but i have a short flash of the picture after exactly 5 seconds when opening a livetv stream. HD or SD, i always see this flicker. It's not freezing, just a short flash.

In the xbmc log you can see this: http://pastebin.com/h25fbNCZ for instance at 17:01:49 i got a stable picture, on 17:01:54 it flashed.

that's caused by reconfiguring of renderer from 25fps to 50fps. Your pvr backend flags the stream as 25fps instead of 50. Then after XBMC has calculated it, it reconfigures.
Ok, is this due to this de-interlace setup? I also have a xtreamer ultra using VDPAU connected to the same backend and this does not show the flashes. Also is it possible to 'fix' xbmc to 50 fps on initial start to prevent the flash?
