Brand new system running Linux Mint 12. I installed XBMC using the directions from the Noobslab.com site, which is basically the following commands:
I'm still in the process of moving my media to the new machine, so I am not ready to start using XBMC yet. However, I wanted to try it out to see how it works. Unfortunately, any time I try playing a video, XBMC crashes. I ran it from terminal and received the following error:
I don't have a soundcard currently, but I will by the time the system is going live. That couldn't be the reason the video crashes, could it? I noticed the bit about VDPAU and nvidia because I'm not using Nvidia, and am instead using an AMD Radeon HD6450 (with proprietary Catalyst driver). I'm not super techy, but from my googling I'm thinking the build that was downloaded when I followed the above install directions was maybe compiled for use with Nvidia cards, and to get it to work on my system, I'd have to rebuild it using VAAPI. Does that sound right or am I just nuking it out? If that is the case, then how do I actually go about rebuilding it correctly?
Code:

chmod +x xbmc-linux_mint_12.sh
