Callek Wrote:Interesting! I have the same card (well an Asus GT210 anyway), running OpenElec latest nightly.
Could you give me some pointers how to get it working? (PM, perhaps so we don't let this topic go more OT...)
Pretty easy actually. Most of the info i used came from this thread or
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...,_or_GT240
I Used a minimal install of ubuntu 11.10,
- apt-get build-dep xbmc to get all build dependency's
- apt-get install nvidia-common
- build EA branche (with --disable-pulse --enable-alsa)
As for the card config
I used probe_mask=0xfff2 and configured hdmi as output in XBMC (If u have onboard audio then it's easiest to disable that in bios).
After that it worked like a breeze
.
I guess getting the correct audio output dev for also for XBMC config can be a bit tricky. U could probably also get it to work without the probe mask and using the hdmi: alsa string from aplay -L that corresponds to device 7
i.e. for a gt520 i configured a custom throughput device with "hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=1"
U might need to play a bit to get the correct device with or without the netmask.
I guess that as long as you're dmesg output says something like :
Code:
[ 24.865571] HDMI: supports coding type E-AC-3/DD+ (Dolby Digital Plus): channels = 8, rates = 44100 48000
[ 24.865574] HDMI: supports coding type DTS-HD: channels = 8, rates = 44100 48000 96000 176400 192000 384000
[ 24.865577] HDMI: supports coding type MLP (Dolby TrueHD): channels = 8
It should (eventually) work.
btw: I am using an Onkyo 606 receiver
EDIT:
And if you're lazy (as i am) also install xbmc and xbmc-live.
After that edit
Code:
/usr/bin/xbmc-standalone
and change the line "XBMC=" to the location of xbmc.bin you just compiled
i.e.
Code:
XBMC="/home/xbmc/xbmc/xbmc.bin $@"
Now you're self compiled xbmc also auto starts on boot
And every once in a while
