Hi, i have a 5670 using the 11.11 driver release and getting a blocky picture on hd live tv. Is there anything that would break by using an older driver release such as 11.4, this is very reliable on windows.

11.4 is a really crappy version for use in linux. 11.11 was the first good working driver, so we suggested this one. Can you dump a bit of the stream and make it available online?

Hi .

@Tinofet:
There are three things that come to my mind:
1) Did you follow the minimal guide? If not - please disable compiz or gnome-shell if you have this running.
2) Check the vsync settings under: System->Settings->System->Video Settings: Vertical Sync: Always on
3) Check the video Settings itself: System ->Video->Playback: XVBA:check, Adjust Refreshrate to match video: check; Sync Playback to Display: Check; Sync Method: Video Clock (Drop/Dup Audio)
If this problem still persists, please pastebin (paste.ubuntu.com) a xbmc.log with debugging turned on.

Thank you guys, for the awesome HOW-TO. I got it going on my Asus E35M1-I deluxe with the latest stable XBMC (11) build and CCC 12.2 on Ubuntu 11.11 64-bit.
Now, I'm about to install boblight to run with my Adalight setup and see if this all runs smoothly combined. That is the whole reason I switched to Linux in the first place. I had tearing on Windows.

The Problem is solved when using the Eden branch.

For clarification:
xvba: first xvba implementation (works really good, stable, integrated in openelec 2.0) - development stopped
eden: xvba and vdpau second and improved implementation with various player enhancements (works really good, improved performance, stable) - development stopped, backports can probably happen.
master: bleeding edge (not stable, not tested, you will see bugs)

FernetMenta told me the xvba branch shouldn't be used anymore, instead use the master branch.
In case you are compiling with gcc 4.7 the Eden branch is the correct one.
I don't know why the ffmpeg patches of the (stable) Eden branch is not synchronized with the master branches.
