Hi,
I'm on fedora 19 x64, I've installed xbmc fine and it seems to work but I notice it pulls 50% cpu usage and I think it's because the packages for gpu decoding aren't installed...
do I need to change distros to ubuntu (per software requirements) in order to use this guide to fix the problem? or am I suppse to install the mini iso on top of fedora?
Thanks in advance

@tomtomme: Verify with vdpauinfo and also check glxinfo to have the glinterop extension
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Yeah post full dmesg.
You need the two relevant patches for 3.12 - without them you experience exactly what you see with anything != 60, 50hz.
What should I know out of those two single lines of log?

@tomtomme: Not sure there is a bug at all. For multichannel output, you need a special patch. But the rest looks okay.

You have to have <sources> at the beginning and </sources> at the end, similar to advancedsettings. The wiki should be modified to reflect this.
example:
<sources>
<video>
<source>
<name>library</name>
<path>smb://server/share/</path>
</source>
</video>
</sources>

Found another issue with this XBMC build.
Microsoft desktop 800 (keynoard&mouse) is recognized as some kind of joystick then become unusable in xbmc. To fix the issue, manually change below line to false in .xbmc/userdata/guisettings.xml
<enablejoystick>false</enablejoystick>
