@guilmxmx:
The asic hang was solved by fernetmenta some days ago - it was a one shot :-). So xbmc-xvba and xbmc-xvba-testing have this fix integrated. This fix was not yet backported to the eden version, but it should be doable easily.
Eden is our "stable version", but we just parked it at some point of development - it is kind of stable, reliable cause it shares a huge codebase with the normal Eden release. But there are some bugs (only fixed partly) as development concentrates on frodo and the "great merge". Many things have changed since the Eden times :-)
I did backport some important fixes, but yeah priority is on development. Will cherry-pick the fix and compile test it on Eden. You should get new Eden packages via wsnipex repository once it is commited to Fernetmenta's tree. I think we will also add the youtube fix (rather a workaround) and then really discontinue the Eden branch :-)

@freakwenc:
I don't really understand what your usecase is. You are writing about an "old pc". Can you explain it more in detail please? Does tvheadend stop working?
@Balthazar:
As we talked in IRC yesterday. Did the local files, you copied directly on the htpc work? I suspect a samba problem.

The computer is about 10 year old
a 32bit amd sempron processor 1.6GHz
ATI 3650HD AGP x8
1 GB ram
PCI 5.1 sound card
this computer was mid range about 10 years ago and i added the ATI 3650HD AGP x8 in to allow it to then act as a dedicated HTPC which it is what I've been using it as for a long time. I have recently on a different computer installed TVheadend and a DVB-S2 card and have TVheadend running 100% fine it is not crashing at any point. I can view any channel on my laptop no problem including HD channels. I can switch between HD channels on my laptop but on your build of XBMC I keep getting problems when using HD channels.
1. Watching HD channel
2. switch channel to another HD channel
or stop HD channel and watch a HD video file (that uses XVBA).
XBMC will not play the second channel or the Video file as all i get is a loop (less than a second long) of old video or the screen will show a green image.
What else can I explain here?

Okay, problem is clear now. We had such problems on old hardware some time ago. Which GPU driver do you have? Can you try the 12.6 legacy driver? I wrote a howto some posts before.
How much memory does your card have? Can you give me a xbmc.log with debugging turned on - while playing such a tvheadend stream?

well, thats hard to diagnose remotely. I've seen unetbootin create those problems in the past, thats why I suggested using linux to create the USB install stick

@Snippo:
Check that you have both: Adjust Refreshrate to match video _and_ Sync Playback to Display enabled. Especially Sync Playback to Display without Adjust Refreshrate does not make sense.
Also make sure, that you run the latest Eden version. We made an update some days ago, that allows to playback wrongly coded Level4.1 Files.
While reinstalling did you follow the howto?
Check Vertical Sync Blank to be "always" enabled and the two settings I just mentioned. Your log indicates that you are using "pulseaudio", this howto highly suggest _not_ to use it, because it may introduce stutter. Please follow the howto step by step and do the corresponding xbmc settings.
