all packages are installed - what is missing?

[Cheddoleum]

Followed the instructions to the letter, on an nfsroot system, it's looking great; except of course I get the "stop bug".

One interesting thing: it does not crash on stop playback if any of the following are true:

* Debug logging enabled (i.e. debug overlay displayed over video)
* The info overlay displayed
* I stop with the onscreen controls instead of simply hitting the stop button
* I stop immediately after skipping or while paused, when the video position overlay is showing
* Menus are displayed when I press stop

In other words, it happens to me pretty consistently in unadorned fullscreen playback, but not at all if there's any kind of XBMC overlay on the video when I press stop. (I wonder if subtitles would have the same effect.)

Pardon me if someone's already pointed this out, thought it might be a useful detail.

That howto mesa packages _don_t have mesa 10.1 - so they don't have the stop bug.

Are you sure you used saucy?

Most likely this issue: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71753

Yeah, good time to update this old bugreport. When I filed it, I thought I had given all information - but it seems, it does not have that much priority with the oss devs.

Okay, clear. By the way 25fps and 29.97fps are okay, it is just 23.976fps that is the problem.

Didn't one of you also have an AMD fusion e-350? Are you also having the problem? Or anybody else for that matter in this topic?

I did some more testing and 25fps and 29.97 are also not okay with OE4b2.
25fps is being decoded too fast and toggles between 25.02 and 25.05. The result is that the counter of missed frames is increasing, which seems logical as the vblank is running at 50Hz.
29.97fps interlaced is being decoded too slow, usually around 58fps, instead of 59.94fps.
23.976fps is decoded too slow, usually around 23.92/23.95, but sometimes also goes to the high 22's. This results in skipped frames.

I verified with OE3 and there the decoded fps is spot on, giving respectively 25.00fps, 59.94fps and 23.98fps.
In OE4 I tried all kind of combinations of hardware and software decoding, with and without the VDPAU mixer, but the results stay the same. I guess every framerate goes wrong and either is too slow, or too fast.

Seems like the clock that is used for decoding in general on my fusion e-350 goes crazy. I had a look at the new radeon oss source code, but to be honest I have no idea where to begin.

Are you sure you used saucy?

Yes, with kernel 3.13.6-031306-generic (latest non-rc mainline). You're right, looks like 10.03 mesa libs, if I'm checking correctly.

Different problem, perhaps? It's just as described: on stop playback xbmc crashes; no errors in the main xbmc logs. Enabling debug prevents it as I mention above, so a debug log isn't available. If you allow the video to end normally it doesn't crash xbmc.

The crash log doesn't show anything very dramatic to the untrained eye, but it's here.

Please, is anyone can tell me why I don't have libvdpau1 and linux-firmware from wsnipex when I have libg3dvl-mesa and libwayland-server0 from this depot (see http://pastebin.com/V4QMYTwa & http://pastebin.com/8hpGu1jA)

Code:

Result is that I have 1,6fps on XBMC...

all packages are installed - what is missing?

See above : it's not the good version I think and I have less than 2fps ! (works perfectly before with xvba version and catalyst drivers)

From your log, I see that you are not running as xbmc user - looks like wrong group membership, you also did not provide the logs the howto wants.

And next time you want xvba - I take care, that you get xvba.

So, now I have a xbmc session as you want and here is all my log :

dmesg -> http://pastebin.com/LnxD4rvT

cat ~/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log -> http://pastebin.com/FdTxk8HY

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log -> http://pastebin.com/MdLq2Z69

DISPLAY=:0 vdpauinfo ->

Code:

display: :0   screen: 0
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error creating VDPAU device: 1

dpkg -l |grep mesa | pastebinit

And I still don't understand why apt does not take the linux-firmware from wsnipex depot.

Thanks.

Again: ckoenig is helping is to get the "stop bug" fixed: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/me...56384.html

Stay tuned.

Great news, thanks for the update fritsch.

http://snapshots.openelec.tv - you did not stick to the howto at all, you did not add the relevant user and did not give it the right permissions. This howto assumes a basic linux knowledge. OE has everything out of the box and give an easier experience for you.

I've been trying to switch my system from S/PDIF to HDMI for sound... setup reasons.

I've not had the best luck with getting the sound to cooperate.
The sound will start off playing correctly, then at any random time it will start to degrade, and get scratchy.
I've searched the forum for this, and I've seen things about it. things to try (sync A/V, set to fixed 48.0, etc.) but nothing seems to correct this.
I've also seen the issue about Upower, as you'll see in my log I get a few of those... but I did not see an answer to this solution.
can someone help point me in the right direction?

here's... Johnny! -- http://pastebin.com/VSjLPrmz

oh! I can reproduce this error, without fail, when i play a music file, and set 'ProjectM' for visualization.
that's how i was able to get the log.
otherwise, when i play a video... i could go 5min - 30min before the distortion will show up.
once it starts though, it will keep coming back quicker and quicker... make me think it's a buffering issue...

[tomtomme]

from first post:

- The same speed as with the fglrx implementation (currently awaiting rebuild - should be in 10.0.3 + patch)

Sounds great, but I do not understand it

What does "+ patch" mean here? Is this included in mesa 10.0.3 and/or 10.0.4 and/or 10.1 and/or 10.2 or just in an ubuntu ppa? If so, where can non-ubuntu users find this patch?
and which "rebuild"? Of mesa or gotham and when will it be rebuild?

sry if I am too impatient

[fritsch]

It's all already in. We have everything, that we need, I forgot to update. wsnipex packaged it into the 10.0.3 mesa packages.
See changelog: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/164830407...cy.diff.gz

How can you say that ?
1/ I have different linux distrib on my many PC.
2/ My first distro was a slackware 20 years ago
3/ I followed all the step (yes, I add xbmc, yes I add permissions and yes doing cut/paste !).
The ONLY thing I do differently is to start xbmc with xsession, using only xbmc-standalone. Do you really, honestly, think that can be a problem ?

[fritsch]

1/ 2/ does not really matter - as you have a problem that the other 7931 unique users don't have
3/ clearly says that you did not follow the howto.

So what's your issue - I am no consultant to fix selfmade installation problems.
