Linux Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto)
You can help upstream best, when you file bugs at freedesktop.org and include dmesg output, problem description and howto reproduce.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Would the dmesg log be enough? Or some other logs are needed as well?
fritsch:

My recent dither xrandr setting seems to have helped quite a bit. I do notice when I freshly start a session it takes about 2-3 seconds before it calms down into the proper levels but never has a problem again. Any advice you can give to direct the proper information to the proper people either xbmc, x, kernel, or mesa so it could potentially help resolve this down the road?

Please help on how to log.
Claudio.Sjo:
Huh Get the logfiles requested in first post after such an issue has happened

@pyrodox:
Best is you make a little video and show that on freedesktop bugtracker and gather the other logfiles

@smv1210: It's a good start. They will request more info if they need something specific.

Hello,

As I see everything works nicely with one exception. When I open a M2TS 1920x1080 video file, the first 2-3 seonds of the video drops frames always, like I would not have buffer. After 3 seconds everything is played perfectly. Is this normal?
Hi,
actually the problem happens when playing a file, then going to the next interlaced file by means of pushing "next" button.

My logs:
dmesg http://paste.ubuntu.com/6484515/
xbmc.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/6484534/
Xorg.0.log http://paste.ubuntu.com/6484539/
vdpauinfo http://paste.ubuntu.com/6484543/
dpkg mesa http://paste.ubuntu.com/6484546/
i followed your completely and i didn't get an autostart or something... I start on a bash login

Did i forget something?

Thanks in advance
wondering if the mpeg-2 hanging problem should be reposted in Drivers/Gallium/r600 rather than Drivers/DRI/R600, the latter seems to have few new bug posts and replies from AMD devs.

Hi fritsch,

Would You please point me out, what mailing list to use there?
@FreakErn: Probably the startup script.
@svm1210: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/
@Claudio.Sjo: Thx, same as @svm1210

I've created a bug at freedesktop for my dither/black level issue.

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72087

Feel free to add any videos or logs if anyone else experiences the same issue as shown in http://youtu.be/lTUtw0onSCw around the 9-10 second mark.

So is mpeg-2 vdpau decoding working on any radeon versions? I know it's not on my 4550, and apparently it's not working on universam's 6450(which I was looking at getting before reading that).

I can't tell from this thread if it's working on most newer radeon versions and just not on the few who are talking, or if it's not working for anyone and just most people don't deal with mpeg-2(I only have to deal with it because that's what broadcast OTA TV is)?

If I can pickup a card that works for cheap on sale l would like to, appreciate any confirmations/responses

It seems to work on 7560D (integrated in A8-5500 APU). I have only a few mpeg2 samples downloaded out of curiosity, and on all of them mpeg2-vdpau is used. Problem is that they look ugly because it seems vdpau doesnt support deinterlacing.

I have Debian 64 bit with latest git kernel, mesa, drm, xf86-ati, glamor.
@gradinaruvasile: Lol

vdpau supports BOB and Temporal deinterlacing. Retry. You have to enable it though by clicking on the movie role. Set Deinterlacing to Auto and Method also. If you have included the patch by zgreg you also have Temporal deinterlacing in high quality (we ship this in the wsnipex mesa ppa). You might have to manually apply this patch: https://github.com/grigorig/mesa/commit/...ea466d806d

VDPAU Bob is working out of the box.


All my SD channels are 576i mpeg2. They work fine on my E350 setup.
