VDPAU on AMD can only do VC1 advanced,
So I found out there was no /etc/init/xbmc.conf nor an /etc/init.d/xbmc.conf... After creating /etc/init/xbmc.conf according to the how-to nothing changed.
This is probably do to the fact that I started out with a full ubuntu 12.10 back in the xvba days (I know I shouldn't use that cursed word here anymore) and upgraded my way up to 13.10 + OSS and now 14.04.
Long story short, since I have full DE the installation of XBMC added a XBMC DE for me in the list of DE's I can choose from in the login screen. Currently I'm automatically logged in to the last used DE on boot, which would explain the lack of /etc/init/xbmc.conf. Still since this is the case I figure there should be a xbmc.conf somewhere which I probably should edit accordingly, though I'm not sure where I could find it...
Anyone has any bright ideas?
P.S. I'm sorry, but I have absolutely no clue what "backing store" is...
P.P.S. I know it would have been probably best to start with a fresh Trusty mini install, but since I use this server for a lot more then just XBMC, I was hoping to get it working this way. If everything else fails I will start over from scratch, but was hoping to avoid that...
Thanks for all the help wsnipex and fritsch for helping us all out so much!
