RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - FernetMenta - 2013-08-04
When using vdpau with mainline version you'll observe video stuttering every now and then, in particular when playing interlaced content. Bringing up any kind of dialog (while playing video) most likely results in some dropped frames. The list of flaws is much longer. I have rewritten vdpau but this work is not in mainline version yet.

oke thank you i will use this one then .
Btw why i asked is not that i don't like you're version but its because i really wanna move from ubuntu .

compiling xbmc from source is not a big deal.

Sorry, if my post seemed like I didn't read the first post, but I did. I'm using the settings as in - disabling rss feed and advanced_settings.xml, system settings - but it's still higher idle than watching a videoclip.
And the linked thread page is suggesting to buy a different piece of hardware? Thanks.

I think wsnipex was referring to a bug in fglrx that was mentioned there. all drivers released by AMD in a year are just crap.
RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - disp - 2013-08-04
I see, thanks for clearing that up. So my best bet is to use the ubuntu provided fglrx 9.0 driver?

In china they publically destroy luxurious goods of they work like this...
13.6 beta is the only partial working driver for 13.04 files with cabac off are broken though.
RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - disp - 2013-08-04
I tried 13.6b earlier today, the menus felt more sluggish than the latest driver. Both still have 100% cpu load for me though, but only on the main screen, if I'm deeper in a tvshow or movie selection it's like 5% idle.
I guess I have to live with that.
Video playback seems to be working fine for me.

What about 13.8 beta?

Worth a try, thank you.
RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - fritsch - 2013-08-04
Read some pages back... if it is the same as the ogl 4.3 Version, you will have high CPU load again.
So report back, please.
PS: what i find funny, Jammy exactly named the bugs as i reported them.

I recently installed the 3.11 kernel, OSS drivers from mesa git, etc on a A8-5500 (Debian Testing 64 bit, xfce 4.10).
VDPAU works with xbmc, i hit a few issues:
-changing resolution runtime (fullscreen->windowed or viceversa) results in black screen (sounds are playing) - have to kill xbmc from a tty to get control of X back. If i pause before, i can change resolution and can resume play.
-some h264 encoded clips dont work well (stuttering, really low framerate, etc) - maybe not working files could be handled with disabling hardware decoding runtime (and resuming from last frame) if there are issues with playback?
PS i know that VDPAU is at basic level with radeon OSS and i dont know such bugs where should be reported - its xbmc or the drivers fault?

Has anyone tested it?
I can try with Ubuntu 13.04, that is kernel 3.8.xx but the log states that it's "adapted to kernel 3.10"
On the HTPC I have Lubuntu 12.10 and catalyst 13.6 beta, it works and I'm not willing to replace it without serious reasons.

Vdpau works perfectly with nvidia. Oss radeon implements the same interface and has hickups...

Well i for one tested it and it was a disaster, at least on kernel 3.10 64-bit. I have an A8-5500 APU.
This driver caused some sort of memory leak (memory is locked by the driver or something, not xbmc), both with certain games (TF2) and hardware decoding with xbmc, resulting in constant swapping and then lockup. Even if i kill xbmc, the memory isnt recovered until reboot. Also i have kernel oopses after killing it.
13.6 for example works just fine for me. But, as with everything Linux-related, YMMV.
