In combination with the 20% for the hq scaler... This will actually disable lanczos for > 720p. Verify that you have both. The bold setting.

Have followed the how-to through again after upgrading to 14.04. Only thing I can't get to is the settings in System -> Video -> Playback. There is no option for VAAPI or any of the others mentioned in the how-to listed.
Edit: also noticed video calibration from within the player doesn't stick even if I select to apply as default. If I play the same file again screen borders are calibrated but not for any other video unless I manually set it for it too.
My XBMC version after installing from the ppa is 14.0-alpha1 compiled on the 29th April.

Thanks fritsch. That fixed it. Note to others, the settings are a little differently named and mostly stored in a tab called Acceleration.
Video calibration not sticking still but I am guessing this is an xbmc bug rather than vaapi related.

If you can don't calibrate with xbmc at all. Use your TV remote and disable Underscan. The settings are most of the time called "Fixed", "Just Scan" or the like.

Read the forum - this is not topic in this howto. You need to disable backing store.

Post Xorg.0.log - in short provide all logs from the first post, including xbmc in debug logging (which the above is not).

First - I want to thank you for this great HowTo.
I just moved to a new computer with integrated HD4600, after using Nvidia for few years.
I was frustrated when looked on soccer in live tv. After adding your PPA and following instructions everything seems to work great!
Thank you.
I'm using XBMCbuntu Beta. Will you're PPA code be transfered to xbmc regular PPA?
