@fernetmenta: i can't wait to use this new vdpau interface

In this case you can compile from source and report back if it really solves this problem.
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...ian/Ubuntu

Use this repo: git://github.com/FernetMenta/xbmc.git

Been testing with this version for 2 days now. So far, not one freeze, many thanks FernetMenta!

Could somebody be soooo nice to make a guide HOWTO compile this new vdpau interface?
It would be great to get rid off these nasty hangs from Eden!
I couldn't be so hard and I believe it is a mattter of entering not so many commands in linux console...

Please

$ cd /usr/src/
$ sudo git clone git://github.com/FernetMenta/xbmc.git
$ cd xbmc
$ sudo ./bootstrap; sudo ./configure; sudo make; sudo make install

You should check README.ubuntu for required packages. Just copy/paste the command. If you run configure and don't have libvdpau-dev, vdpau gets deactivated.
Better run: ./configure --enable-vdpau
configure will fail if libvdpau-dev is not present.

Couple of quick questions about those compiling bits...

1 - To compile...is this done on your xbmc HTC machine?
2 - Once the compiling is done, does it auto boot etc?
3 - Does this compile the xbmcbuntu version or something else?

Sorry, but the commands are not working:

User@XBMC:/usr/src/xbmc$ sudo ./bootstrap; sudo ./configure --enable-vdpau; sudo make; sudo make install
./bootstrap: 5: autoreconf: not found
sudo: ./configure: command not found
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

@fldc
not sure what you intend to tell us with your last post.

[VanillaXtract]

I believe he is telling you to read the readme.

EDIT: Sorry. Not you FernetMenta but fldc. @TheSane. After you do the get there will be a readme.ubuntu. Follow the steps in there to download all the packages you need. Then follow everything in readme.linux. If you get all those packages your not found errors will go away. As a warning, a couple of the packages you will need to specify a different version than what the default is.

@FernetMenta

Any idea when this fix might get pushed to master?

at this point you'll get some errors on wrong file numbers. Redo the command and put an equal sign and type in the version number for the files.

I will try.

Edit:
User@XBMC:/usr/src/xbmc$ sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc
Reading package lists... Done

E: Unable to find a source package for xbmc

Edit Switched back to Windows, seems a bit more powerfull at the monent. But i will try later again to get it flying on XBMCbuntu.

I'm using Confluence too.
I also regularly have the scenario gmakki decribes.
I made a panic button on my remote to reboot the set when this happens

@fernetmenta: i can't wait to use this new vdpau interface.

What didn't help for me is installing x-swat or edgers... i got the same error + some additional ones

Could you explain how please? I would be very interested in that temporary solution.

[basco]

i use lirc with my remote
lirc works with sockets
i've written a pers script that listens on a lirc socket for a remote button.
when this button is sent (pressed), the perl script 'sudo reboot's

I could be wrong, but if you are referring to the crash in this thread then there is no need to restart the system, just XBMC. I think instead of "sudo reboot" you could do "sudo service lightdm restart" ?
