I recently installed XBMC on Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty on the ASRock ION 330. Its currently overclocked to 2.1 Ghz with 1.5gb of ram and 512 of Video Memory.
....Followed all the instructions for Babylon and turned on VDPAU in player render options and everything was hunky-dory. But I updated XBMC to the latest SVN (r21676) from http://www.sshcs.com/xbmc/ - and now the option for VDPAU is not there?!
I wanted to know if I put it on auto that it will be automatically on - the options I get for rendering are now: Software; GLSL; ARB and auto.
I have submitted a debug log and I played a Iplayer HD stream in its highest quality which is 720p and it seemed fine and droped 6 frames at the start and thats it. I have also included some screenshots so you can see the debug at the top of the screen. Then I played an AVI and it seemed fine also (screens included too).
Maybe I'm just a paranoid barsteward but I want to know if VDPAU is enabled as I plan to watch 1080p videos once I get a HD screen.

------------------------------------
Also just a quick note is anyone having problems with ubuntu 9.04 in regard the sound muting on restart it seems to happen quite Frequently to me.
I followed this: http://webupd8.blogspot.com/2009/06/soun...buntu.html - But im unsure what he means by "And add alsactl restore there. Also, make it executable" -- Im an Linux N00B so I usually need and exact and precise step by step.
As I use XBMC standalone I have to change session and turn up the PCM sound - bloody annoying I tell you!?
If anyone can Help I would appreciate it, thanks in advance.
