RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-02-07 Yes - raring is out of support. Please update as soon as possible, best is follow the howto again. Ubuntu does not allow to build raring packages anymore via their ppa. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - Packet Loss - 2014-02-07 (2014-02-07, 18:03)fritsch Wrote: Yes - raring is out of support. Please update as soon as possible, best is follow the howto again. Thanks again, was going to do a rebuild once Gotham beta is released. I would of gone Saucy earlier but had some fiddly issues with some of my hardware (and a USB keyboard bug that prevents install from scratch). RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-02-07 jep, that sucks :-) - retry with the server iso, please.

It was the server ISO unfortunately, I'll probably need to figure out a headless install. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - wsnipex - 2014-02-07 just release upgrade from your raring install RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - Packet Loss - 2014-02-08 (2014-02-07, 23:14)wsnipex Wrote: just release upgrade from your raring install I know about dist-upgrade but my experience has made me paranoid to the point I don't trust it (to be 100% clean Saucy).

And when it ultimately does, will there be support (software decode maybe?) for those WMV files that seem to never be playable? Other than that I am loving this new code. Runs on my APU fantastically, thanks a lot for all the hard work! So if I build from standard git then I can have these improvements? It would be nice to be back on a standard kernel, etc. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - deivid - 2014-02-08 I'm getting 'crashes' that I don't know how to debug: Sometimes xbmc is closed (it's not important) but upstart keeps respawning it within a second, and it keeps crashing, so I have about 3 thousand lines of [23477.279973] init: xbmc main process (16778) terminated with status 1 [23477.279998] init: xbmc main process ended, respawning [23492.307343] init: xbmc main process (16785) terminated with status 1 [23492.307395] init: xbmc main process ended, respawning [23507.336532] init: xbmc main process (16836) terminated with status 1 [23507.336556] init: xbmc main process ended, respawning in dmesg there's no xbmc-crashlog in my home folder, if there's any log I can post here I will. If this problem is unrelated to xbmc and it's upstart's fault I'd like to know --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Solved. First, X wouldn't start because it had no permissions. I had followed the tutorial and ran the dpkg-reconfigure x11-commons but it seems like doing a dist-upgrade broke the permissions. Then xbmc couldn't find the r600 driver, because the user was not in the 'video' group. I don't know why that happened, because it was working before, which implies that the user was in the group. Anyway, it's working now. Thanks RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-02-08 (2014-02-08, 03:38)blm14 Wrote:(2014-02-07, 16:48)blm14 Wrote: Quick question - when will this code get into mainline?

Runs on my APU fantastically, thanks a lot for all the hard work! Kernel has nothing to do with xbmc. If your distro provides kernel 3.13 you can keep it. Mesa and the vdpau driver is your bigger Problem. Ubuntu does not ship it and 14.04 also not for now.

Build my vdpau-settings branch from source - there is an option to "just" disable mpeg-2 decoding. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - uuzi - 2014-02-08 will try that, THX fritsch. just a quick question: which branch exactly vdpau-settings or vdpau-settings2? sorry stupid question i'll take the first one, since that's the one you committed to a day ago. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-02-08 vdpau-settings sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev git clone https://github.com/fritsch/xbmc.git cd xbmc git checkout vdpau-settings ./bootstrap ; ./configure --disable-debug --disable-vaapi --enable-vdpau make -j4 Compilation is finished when you have a xbmc.bin in that directory, if not something went wrong. Just run make (without -j) at that point again. sudo make install Change /etc/init/xbmc.conf to not start /usr/bin/xbmc but rather /usr/local/bin/xbmc - you need to install pvr addons manuall from zip with that approach. I hope to be able to submit that PR soon upstream. RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - uuzi - 2014-02-08 i think i'm stupid. i can't see the option to disable mpeg2 decoding in my freshly compiled vdpau-settings RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-02-08 Video -> Playback -> Expert settings |
