Looks good, check with alsamixer that nothing is muted.

ok all good with menus now with yesterday's fernetmenta/wsnipex build from OP. Could have been apt remove/install that fixed it after the wayland update. Don't know.
using wsnipex ppa now.

I'm sure I have done the unmute on alsamixer and the HDA Intel PCH was listed on there. I also feel everything is good, but I just didn't hear the sound.
Join the channel, we will test something.

If shutdown / suspend after update is not possible anymore - just reinstall the consolekit package.

Just put in an amd 6360 silent low profile card in my haswell machine and rebuilt using this thread.. it works at once and a lot better picture quality than the not very functional hd4600.

Perhaps the intel drivers will work nicely with haswell in a not too distant future.
Hello all,

First: many thanks to fritsch and all the other developers and testers!

I installed all from scratch according to your "HowTo" on a new partition in parallel to my refernce systrem on the same hardware (AMD A10-5700) .
My reference system works reasonably good (Ubuntu 12.10 with xbmc-xvba)

Compared to my reference system, I notice some surges when I view some MKV (H264) movies..
Finaly XBMC crashes (see links to crash-log below).

Is this a typcall behaviour, that this version of xbmc crashes, or is my configuration/installation wrong?


Hopefully this infos are helpful for you.
Here are the logfiles:
root@htpc:~# cat ~/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log | pastebinit

Further question:
were can I find "qvdpauinfo" ?

Thanks in advance.
Where is the crashlog?

remove your pulseaudio please
Code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge pulseaudio libasound2-plugins
sudo reboot

qvdpautest is here: https://github.com/robertmassaioli/qvdpautest
you need libvdpau-dev pkg-config libqt4-dev

so you're using using line-in the TV for audio?
on my new TV i can say tell it to use hdmi or line-in but on my old TV i had to patch the EDID to disable audio on HDMI as i was using a HDMI2dvi cable.
but that was for a Nvidia card not sure if radeon is also affected.

@fritsch

Thanks for you quick answer.

I got no crashlog because of:

xbmc@htpc:~$ ./startxbmc.sh
Bus error (core dumped)
/usr/bin/xbmc: 81: /usr/bin/xbmc: systemd-coredumpctl: not found
Crash report available at /home/xbmc/xbmc_crashlog-20131106_182759.log

I probably have something to configure/install to get a core-dump, but what?
run the xbmc.bin directly
in the debugger

sudo apt-get install gdb
gdb /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin
set logging on crash.txt
run

....

let it crash
ctl -c
thread apply all bt

press enter until nothing comes anymore
quit
and pastebin the crash.txt

Edit: It is /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin of course

Hehe, yes

Earlier there was no mixer temporal at all, but it is there now :-) Therefore you see real values. It just did nothing before or better it did just bobbing.

I'm using DVI cable to make sure I can get 2560x1440 (it is hard for HDMI). And I'm using line in to another device for the audio. It works OK with my earlier install based on old Ubuntu version and old ATI drivers. By following this thread, I can notice the hard accelerator for video, but I lost the audio. I'm not sure if it is XBMC problem, but maybe it is more a Ubuntu issue with this new Radeon driver?
I'm keep digging on it, but didn't get much clue yet.
Hello, first, thank you fritsch and all the devs for the all this work, its amazing!

I was wondering if the temporal deinterlacing could only be achieved by using wsnipex ppa xbmc package or if the team xbmc package is ok for temporal deinterlacing (I want the most stable system possible).

I'm not at home at the moment but my test before the Saucy update gave me screen disco in 3d apps like another member of the forum. I will test this week end with Saucy and if the disco screen is still there I will make a video to show what append. The interesting thing is that even with this problem videos were playing fine using VDPAU. My hardware is AMD A4 4000 APU with integrated Radeon HD7480D.
