I've followed this guide and have XBMC up and running (just needed samba installed)
But when I start playing back a video, it works for a few seconds then it locks up? I can ssh into the box, CPU usage is minimal.
Setup is A6 5400K CPU (Integrated Video) running fglrx 9.0
Also, do I need to do anything with power management (regards to video)
Can I get DVD playback? Also blu ray?

No and they will be merged when they will be merged..
Frodo +1 maybe.

Hi Guys,
Could it be that "System -> Settings -> System -> Input Devices -> Peripherals" are disabled in the ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba?
Thanks.

You need to have a peripheral installed like e.g a joystick of some sort, standard CIR MCE remotes and mice/keyboards dont count.

I just got a new Yamaha RX-V 473 AVR and I hooked my HTPC via HDMI running XVBA-Version to it. I also connected my Sony Kdl46-EX725 via HDMI to the AVR.
I only have a 2.0 setup right now. When i listen to Music I want to turn the TV off. But when I turn the TV there is no Sound coming from the AVR.
Can you please tell me what settings I should enable in the Audio-Output menu.
Can this no sound problem have something to do with these settings?
Thanks

@cirkator:
Jep - AMD rocks. Try the following. Press stop, turn off the TV, press play (with TV turned off).
This is an fglrx issue since nearly ever :-)
There are other workarounds possible, including overwriting of EDID information via /etc/ati/dfp1.edid or - just use Optical. The latter is no joke, AMD implements their HDMI Audio as spdif, so you only have 2 real channels. And therefore 5.1 AC3/DTS can also be done via spdif.
DTS-HD, LPCM, TrueHD also does not work.
To summarize for your global question:
Audio Settings:
Boost Volume on downmix (check, if it crackles disable it)
Speaker Numbers: 5.1 (5.1 is maximum, lower is okay - remember some 2.1 systems with one cable only are in deed 2.0)
AC3: check (if your AVR can do it, most TVs can do)
DTS: check (TVs normally cannot do, but AVRs can)
AAC: don't check (I don't know a single receiver that can do it)
DTS-HD: don't check (AMD cannot do it on linux)
True-HD: don't check (AMD cannot do it on linux)
LPCM: don't check it (check it if you have only 2.0 speakers)
I think that was it.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Hi,
I tried stopping it and pressing play afterwards. But it did not work.
I remember now that you said we should purge "Pulseaudio". Am i correct?
Maybe it has something to do with Pulseaudio....Should i purge it and get Alsa?
Thanks for the settings, i have them no set like you do.
What do you have set at: Audio Output Device
and what at: Passtrough Output Device?

Unless you have a CEC compatible device (rare) no you cant. RPI is CEC compatible not many machines are though.
