@wsnipex:
Hehe, i also had written "Audio Engine" in my previous draft, but kept it out - cause AE bashing is done all over the place these times :-)

[wsnipex]

I'm not bashing anything here, just stating my personal opinion

@wsnipex:
I did not say, you are wrong in any point :p - same oppinion here - just look at the code.

Will it be useful then to perform @fritsch suggestion for monitoring threads?

@schumi2004:
I am not quite sure :-) The only thing the DirtyRegion fliptimeout should do is a time t afterwards the screen is not flipped anymore, despite there is new stuff to Render. Idle usage has quite increased over Frodo Time, it was arround 3% in the past - you could have a look at the different threads and what they are currently doing - you can use htop or ps uH p <PID_OF_U_PROCESS> | wc -l to check - Quite curious.

As xbmc is a highly multithreaded application, one has to watch all of the threads to find what it is causing.

This is a 1 thread only command isn't it ?
Isn't there a command to view all threads as once?

[fritsch]

@schumi2004:
the "H" means: show threads as they were processes, so - no, just drop the | wc -l as this one only counts.

For all with strange colors / brightnes problems, this is and fglrx feature called "Varibright". This changes the display brightness, therefore adjusting the color levels, which can be heavily disturbing.

To disable:

Code:

sudo service lightdm stop
sudo aticonfig --set-pcs-u32=MCIL,PP_UserVariBrightEnable,0
sudo service lightdm start

ooh now it would be *logical* for me to switch to that from the -testing ppa wouldn't it?

But where's the fun in that? I mean, it would have been logical not to have upgraded to raring too already...

[wsnipex]

Rachel, so you're the one that downloaded the raring build

[jannk]

Would be ok to install XBMCbuntu from http://xbmc.org/download/, remove 'their' XBMC, add wsnipex PPA and install Xvba Frodo this way?
I mean - would this be the easiest way to get XBMCbuntu with Xvba ?

[fritsch]

@jannk:
Yes - that is a possible way to go.

[nickr]

I thought the xbmcbuntu amd iso already used the wsnipex repo? Perhaps not.

[fritsch]

It used to - approx 6 months ago. After wsnipex started to help the official xbmcbuntu guys, he revived the "mainline ppa" and since then xbmcbuntu was build with mainline packages again (<- this is roughly the story).

So there is wsnipex packages in, but not wsnipex xvba packages :-)

Hi,
What is the git source fork/branch for the Frodo release XVBA? I am still playing with/learning patching interlaced rendering. Nice to work on the latest stable code. The OP updates/pulls RC3.
TIA G
