Hi Fritsch,
I now have a fully working version. I was previously having issues with purple psychedelic play back, stuttering and refusal to play some (ABC iview downloads - Australian TV channel) .FLV files.
I was also losing audio over HDMI/DisplayPort.
I now have a fully working set up thanks to this thread. The key points to fix mine were:
1) Setting sync display to playback to OFF - this was causing my LA40M81BDX Samsung LCD TV to crap itself and give a purple picture.
2) Un-install of pulseaudio - this caused playback of some videos to lock up XBMC
3) Install of 12.6 ATI - seems to fix my loss of audio output. i.e. the display port/HDMI output is always available from system settings
4) Had to overwrite the /etc/ati/control file to get rid of the watermark
My setup is
Gigabyte GA-E350N-USB3 Motherboard
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba build
Unity2d - I'm also using my box as a NAS and for a couple of other things, so I'm using a window manager too.
12.04 LTS
Anyway thanks for your help - good work guys!
