@surfziggy:
For the 12.6 installation we created a howto. Linked on the first page.
Concerning your issue 1) Which settings do you currently have enabled?
For a really great playback, we suggest to enable "Adjust Refresh Rate to match video" _and_ "Sync Playback to Display".
Having "Sync Playback to Display" enabled without "Adjust Refresh Rate to match video" is foobar for every video != current refresh rate.

Hi,
Could you please confirm xbmc-xvba has been built without VDPAU support ? I'm currently testing this version in of my system but i can see in XBMC settings the VDPAU option available...which songs strange!
I can't check my other system right now (running xbmc-xvba-eden) but i'm pretty sure VDPAU is not shown in setting screen.
My testing system is running the good version:
sudo dpkg -l grep xvmc
ii xbmc 2:12.0~git20120727.1343-268d6a0-0precise XBMC Media Center PVR Xvba Edition (arch-independent data package)
ii xbmc-bin 2:12.0~git20120727.1343-268d6a0-0precise XBMC Media Center PVR Xvba Edition (binary data package)
I deactivated it and quickly tested HD movies, everything seems to works fine.
Thks!

I cannot confirm. We also build vdpau support in the testing and therefore xbmc-xvba branches.
Eden was indeed built without vdpau support and it was AMD only.

I have a problem when I enable both "Adjust display refresh rate to math video" and "Sync playback to display" with video clock (drop/dupe audio). I suffer from audio lag of approx. 125ms. When I disable "Adjust display refresh rate to math video" the lag is gone.
What could cause this, my tv.
My setup is as follows HTPC --> HDMI --> reciever (Yahama rx-v371) --> TV (samsung le37a656)

@Redfoox:
Which version of the ppa are you using? Can you provide a log? This sounds as a pulseaudio issue, but it can also be that your TV does special things for 24p. In this case you can tweak the advancedsettings.xml.
For my TV (Samsung), I use the following audio offset settings:
<video>
<latency>
<delay>0</delay>
<refresh>
<min>23</min>
<max>25</max>
<delay>100</delay>
</refresh>
<refresh>
<rate>50</rate>
<delay>25</delay>
</refresh>
</latency>
</video>

Oke I will look into that since that is probably the case.
Thanks

If the delays differ from time to time, please remove pulseaudio and libasound2-plugins.

@antovolk:
if you need a stable an reliable system, go with openelec. They already have the fifths beta and beta 6 will be released the next days, that fixes some outstanding bugs.
Our eden branch misses some fixes, the openelec guys integrated in their source, for example ASIC hang fix, youtube search workaround and so on. If you don't need the Desktop go with openelec.
