Oh really :-) didn't know that, i'm one of the lucky ones with a Intel GPU, so thanks for resolving the issue :-), the current installed version works great.
Yeah, we should all be thankful for fritsch's and FernetMenta's work on vaapi and intel fixes. It does make NUC's a quite promising platform.

Thanks for the hint, xbmc was working well during the last two days using .911
I had a crash while watching live tv.
xbmc crash log. http://paste.ubuntu.com/8534892/
xorg log. http://paste.ubuntu.com/8534908/
Thanks for reporting. Sadly not a debug log.

When it happens next time, please also include: dmesg | pastebinit

You can also run xbmc in debug mode without the Debug OSD on screen. The wiki has more info on that.
Retry with tomorrow's nightly.

From a short look the backend sends pure shit :-) and copy fails cause only half of the data announced is there.
Thanks for the reply, anyway to make xbmc restart automatically when it crash while using a window manager? I'm using openbox.
start it in a while loop via a bashscript.
fritsch is OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-devel-20141007030758-r19340-g1be502f.tar from here http://snapshots.openelec.tv/ a good build to test your lates work on a Intel nuc ?
No idea - we cannot really track what is currently in there.

As of now - as VAAPI is constantly changing, because of the driver bugs - I highly suggest to keep using the fernetmenta master ppa.
Ok thanks, guess i`ll just test it Smile

One setting i can´t see you talked about is
System->video->accelaration->render method:

Auto detect or Software or advanced shaders or basic shaders ?
Auto is good enough.
I tried to start from the scretch by using ubuntu server...
but I get the following error
