Linux Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto)
Please also post the other requiered log files, especially the vdpauinfo.

I don't know where in this howto you picked up the pulseaudio server, but it seems you have some stuff installed that might possibly harm.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.
@fritsch:

Could you please add to the how to the build instructions from source for both mesa+ckoenig patches and xbmc itself? I had to dig up the older thread to find it.
How do you add the diff file with your patch on top of mesa+ckoenig git? I resorted to change those 2 lines manually but surely there is a simpler way.
Yeah will do. I am currently quite busy, won't be in town starting Wednesday and until then - some lines of paper are still missing. So procrastinating is forbidden until then.

Seems to work well with A8-5500/Debian 64-bit, xfce 4.10/kernel, mesa (with the ckoenig patch), glamor, xf86-ati from git, using glamor acceleration, 1440x900 monitor (DVI). Everything is smooth. I dont know or care about hd audio ATM, i have only speakers connected. Doing 1080p playback (at least with the clips i have + youtube via the plugin), xbmc's CPU usage is about 11-12%, SD clips (with hw decoding) about 10-11%, idle is ~2-3%. Haven't hit any bugs yet.

Hi,
I installed all into my iMac.
Those are the specs
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/im...specs.html
So far so good, but is it normal that System Info says CPU : 0.0MHz?
Furthermore, I have no possibility to set
System->Settings->System->Video Settings:
Vertical Sync: Always on

Is there anything to be changed?
@gradinaruvasile:

Nice, you are the first i see glamor running. And you are the first I see this on debian. Thanks for reporting back. I think you currently have the rig with the most fps :-) So that one should work: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5572...recode.mkv right?

@Claudio.Sjo:
Press "left" and choose "Advanceed". Those are the new settings hierarchies, which are there that new users don't make setting they don't understand. Those hiding seems to work too god ;-) The Mhz is a bug - I have seen that in all current logfiles, some parsing goes wrong - nothing to make up your mind about.

Sorry about that.

http://paste.ubuntu.com/6204921/ is the VDPAU although it errors saying "Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_r600.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. Error creating VDPAU device: 1" I'm not sure what to do in this case.
http://paste.ubuntu.com/6205021/

Those should be all the logs I'm missing. Thanks.

great news @gradinaruvasile, can share with us which Debian release you are using? and what was the procedure you used to run it on Debian, you complied from source or you used Ubuntu PPA's?

Yes, runs perfectly well. Heaviest clip so far - 13-14% CPU...

PS. That's my almost 2 yro daughters favorite band.

Thank you so much. That seems to have fixed my issues.

Wait, what! I have given that sample to approx a million people and no one could even tell me what they are singing. Who is that band and what are they singing?

The band's name is Alma (apple), it's a hungarian band that sings kid songs. This particular clip is called "Tilinkót faragok".
hmm playing a DVD i noticed it's using software decoding but a mpeg2 file is using vdpau, should the DVD be using vdpau too?
Intel Core i5-11500, ASRock B560M-ITX/ac, 240GB SSD + 4TB  Western Digital Blue, Arch Linux, mythtv 31+fixes + TBS 6205 QUAD FREEVIEW DVB-T2
Normal. It has to do how DVDs are working. There is no hw accel enabled for DVDs in whole xbmc.
