Apparently, multi-threading doesn't seem to work.
I've tested a 1080p 10bit file with a relatively high bitrate, and with XBMC video stutter (noticeably enough) and has drop frames, and with MPC-HC video plays fine (on i7@870).
It's just to state the fact, not to critic the hard work done to achieve adding 10bit support on XBMC.

First of all, I woud like to thank bambi73 for compiling this XBMC version which allows us to play 10bits mkv's.
I was having problems playing files like this one: [Commie]_Shakugan_no_Shana_III_-_12 , but those problems are gone now.
I do have one small problem I encounter:
While playing Claymore 1080P episode one, I noticed the first audio track, containing AAc 5.1 audio, it didn't produce any sound. Switching to the second audio track, containing AAc 2.0 audio, it does produce sound.
Seems like AAC 5.1 is broken.

Post a sample file or a link and I'll give it a try myself.

Hello all,
I see there's a lot of love here for 10-bit playback in XBMC under Windows and I've been keeping an eye on this thread hoping to get tips for Linux. Not much luck yet (unless that discussion has moved to a different thread and I've missed it) so I ventured out and tried to do it myself.
With the help of various blog posts and similar resources I've managed to compile latest FFmpeg and XBMC and test that it runs cleanly on my system (Ubuntu 11.10). FFmpeg compiled with VDPAU support and XBMC plays back both 8-bit and 10-bit with no issues. Haven't tested ordered chapters yet.
I very much doubt it's perfect and I've probably dumped a load of unnecessary libraries on my drive but it works so far. I've put all of this in a script that will fetch libraries/clone the latest git repos, build and install everything, if any other Linux users want it?

Very much YES :D
I'll add it to the wiki page for Hi10P playback, as well as a general example for linux installs with external FFmpeg.

About them Claymore mkv's not having audio: Here's a link to the nzb (retention is 470 days). LINK DELETED.
I am using the latest release that was posted (XBMCSetup-20111208-6094fbb-dx.exe)

I compiled and built mine last night on a 10.04 VM. Created .debs for ffmpeg 0.8.8 & xbmc.git and installed it on my HTPC. Didn't bother trying with 0.9.0 as I believed the API changes would break XBMC. 0.8.8 works great however when your gonna watch a Hi10P video you need to manually disable VDPAU as it will try to HW accelerate it and fail.
Edit:
Cool, built ffmpeg from git and it works fine. Still need to manually disable VDPAU but I can live with that.

What are the benefits, considering bambi73's solution is working just fine with no subtitles problems?
With DSPlayer I need to install additional stuff which somehow disturbed my normal codec setup on my computer, when I tried it the last time, but of course, if it's worth it, I am willing to give it another try.
