How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs
The brain behind all that work is fernetmenta. You can contact him via github.com/fernetmenta (fernetmenta (at) xbmc.org) - He will be really happy :-)
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.
hopefully the ubuntu datacentre will be working again soon.

EDIT: looks like they are backup.
Intel Core i5-11500, ASRock B560M-ITX/ac, 240GB SSD + 4TB  Western Digital Blue, Arch Linux, mythtv 31+fixes + TBS 6205 QUAD FREEVIEW DVB-T2
Concerning the workaround: https://github.com/FernetMenta/xbmc/comm...57febb4230

Not needed anymore starting with tomorrows wsnipex xvba-testing nightlies.

Can anyone tell me what patches i need for gl vdpau?
Yeah :-)

Not that hard at all on raring. I will only write what is need, to figure out the details is on you for now, it is not meant for bloody enduser right now.
Remove and purge all your fglrx stuff

Add this ppa: ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers (sudo apt-add-repository ... && ... && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade)

Make sure linux-firmware gets updated
sudo apt-get install libvdpau1 vdpauinfo

the dist-upgrade will complain, that is solved by:
Code:
sudo dpkg -i --force-all
/var/cache/apt/archives/libwayland-client0_1.2.1-1~r~gd_amd64.deb  /var/cache/apt/archives/libwayland-cursor0_1.2.1-1~r~gd_amd64.deb

kernel 3.11.1 from here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1512228

add radeon.audio=1 and radeon.dpm=1 to /etc/default/grub behind that quiet splash thingy

No the crucial part, you have to use some packages I compiled with the interop work in it (those are 64 bit only):
Install libg3dvl-mesa libgl1-mesa-dri libgl1-mesa-glx libglapi-mesa
from this tar: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5572...latest.tar

via sudo dpkg -i

Continue using the wsnipex xvba-testing ppa. The version that will come tomorrow will have the above mentioned patch in it and improve things. We also get an interop update in some minutes, which should make all the stuff faster again.

Ah you asked for the patches, just build christians repository: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~deathsimple/mesa/ glvdpau branch

And as always: #xbmc-xvba providing support since over 2 years for less than one cent / hour

Hello, apologies if this has been covered, I tried to search but could not find a solution.

I have the Lenovo Q180 (AMD6400) I followed this guys and I seem to be getting random results. when I attempt to play a movies or live tv it sometimes works and sometime does not (with same content). When it doesn't work I get audio for a few seconds but the screen stays on the GUI. If I attempt to switch to the video I just get a black screen. When this happens if I just keep stopping and starting playback it mostly eventually works. I see these errors in my logs;

17:31:41 T:2499803968 ERROR: XVBA:Big Grinecode - timed out waiting for output message
17:31:42 T:2466233152 ERROR: (XVBA) failed to transfer surface

Any Advice?

Yeah, that Q180 only worked with exactly one driver, this was 12.6 legacy.

You need an old xorg to use that.

Use the OSS solution with vdpau.

And here is LPCM Audio: http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermai...66578.html

Read with care and also cherry-pick that other one Anssi is refereing to

When you say OSS solution what exactly is that?
Maybe now is the time to start a new thread about xbmc on amd with oss drivers. There should also be a link in this threads description.
Thanks, will do.

I think this is enough if one tries to use kernel 3.12-rc1 as a base. To use 3.11 more changes are needed for patch to apply correctly and they are included in git pull for 3.12 https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/9/12/135
At least http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.a...vel/112422 seems needed.
Na, it was easy to rebase to 3.11 - only two hunks to fix.

Btw. you should also revert that one: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/...57c91d4546

It currently harms 23.9765 playback.

But yes, now someone can start a new thread.

Edit: Xorg.conf when the other stuff is reverted: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6142741/

xbmc sound settings:
HDMI:
Speaker numbers 7.1 (5.1 or whatever)
E-AC3: enabled
AC3: enabled
DTS: Enabled
LPCM: Enabled
AAC: disabled
TrueHD: disabled
DTS-HD: disabled

Audio Device: HD-Audio Generic, HDMI

1080i50 still needs a little bit of optimization. But 720p50, 1080p24 are really running great.

Apologies for my ignorance, but will this driver be merged into the next OpenELEC? Or is this something that will need to be developed for a few more months?

I'm doing alright with my A6-3500 with stock drivers, but I'm merely curious.

OpenELEC builds with AMD OSS VDPAU support you can find here:
http://sources.openelec.tv/tmp/image/test/oss_uvd/

i will update this from time to time, maybe we should open a new related thread for reports.

Edit: this builds are based on our last work we do for OpenELEC 3.3/4 which replaces the init system in OpenELEC. Its possible this builds are broken more then usual :-)
greetings, Stephan
