Hi,
I'm on fedora 19 x64, I've installed xbmc fine and it seems to work but I notice it pulls 50% cpu usage and I think it's because the packages for gpu decoding aren't installed...

do I need to change distros to ubuntu (per software requirements) in order to use this guide to fix the problem? or am I suppse to install the mini iso on top of fedora?

Thanks in advance

@eondraco
the howto is for ubuntu - you cannot install mini-iso on top.
I just write a howto for opensuse. Someone else will have to write one for fedora...

@tomtomme: Verify with vdpauinfo and also check glxinfo to have the glinterop extension

~~eondraco~~ · 2013-11-07, 20:36

@tomtomme ok thanks. Hopefully they do soon! I might switch to ubuntu just to try it out.

After disable Adjust Refreshrate to match Video video is also fluent in fulscreen

Code:
glxinfo | grep interop

on HD-audio:
I did not yet applied patches to kernel 3.12 because I do not know how... I will learn that tomorrow I hope...
maybe someone can give me a hint.
This is my alsa-info.sh so far

http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=3db83f...94b57118bd

The- invalid ELD is still there despite the marantz.bin

Code:
[    7.795441] ALSA hda_eld.c:334 HDMI: ELD buf size is 0, force 128

[    7.795463] ALSA hda_eld.c:351 HDMI: invalid ELD data byte 0

Yeah post full dmesg.

You need the two relevant patches for 3.12 - without them you experience exactly what you see with anything != 60, 50hz.

What should I know out of those two single lines of log?

Is there any way to add video source?

tomtomme · 2013-11-07, 21:34

@fritsch:
the above link http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=3db83f...94b57118bd contained dmesg on alsa and HDA

if you need more:

**fritsch** · 2013-11-07, 21:41

@tomtomme: Not sure there is a bug at all. For multichannel output, you need a special patch. But the rest looks okay.

It looks a bug in XBMC. I manually add source in .xbmc/userdata/sources.xml. Refer http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Use...ources.xml

I try this in .xbmc/userdata/sources.xml file:

<video>
<default>Nas</default>
<source>
<name>Nas</name>
<path>smb://username:password@myserverIP/filmek/</path>
</source>
</video>

I restart xbmc, but video/files menu empty. Dont add my source Sad

What's the patch here? I didn't get my HD-audio work. I would enable the ALC662 on board and not using anything with HDMI

You have to have <sources> at the beginning and </sources> at the end, similar to advancedsettings. The wiki should be modified to reflect this.

example:

<sources>
<video>
<source>
<name>library</name>
<path>smb://server/share/</path>
</source>
</video>
</sources>

Found another issue with this XBMC build.
Microsoft desktop 800 (keynoard&mouse) is recognized as some kind of joystick then become unusable in xbmc. To fix the issue, manually change below line to false in .xbmc/userdata/guisettings.xml

<enablejoystick>false</enablejoystick>
