Linux Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto)
it won't hurt purging it either.
Jep, that was the word "need" in my sentence :-)

Otherwise: What are we doing now? Sabbatical?
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

So whenever you want a stable gotham version, that is official and the final release - you need to get it from github.com/xbmc

Now I am on Gotham branch of github.com/xbmc and this says its 13.1 BETA 1. So I guess they moved on and that there is no stable 13.0 available anymore anywhere to compile?

Gotham is the stable branch. If you want 13.0 with faulty vdpau and faulty paplayer, you need to checkout the 13.0 TAG. Google about git tags. I highly suggest you stay on 13.1b1 and just follow the gotham branch.

thx again for the insights
i switched however to G-Linux from fernet menta because 13.1b1 teared like hell. I changed nothing in between. G-Linux branch does not tear and I hope it is still stable enough to stay with it for a while...

Code:
sudo echo "xbmc hold"| sudo dpkg --set-selections
sudo echo "xbmc-bin hold"| sudo dpkg --set-selections

or, if you already upgraded, first install the old version (and afterwards execute command above to hold it):

Code:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall xbmc=2:13.0~git20140506.0839-gotham-0trusty xbmc-bin=2:13.0~git20140506.0839-gotham-0trusty
(or one of the other versions visible in sudo apt-cache showpkg xbmc)

You can undo holding xbmc with:

Code:
echo "xbmc install" | dpkg --set-selections
echo "xbmc-bin install" | dpkg --set-selections

Hi,

after last upgrade I can confirm that I have a problem with Amber skin.
At the moment, when started xbmc complains about skin widgets, if I press home button on my remote controller, I can continue to use the system normally.

Can the procedure quoted above be applied on xubuntu 14.04 as well?
I am currently on "XBMC (14.0-ALPHA1 Git:7b794b7). Platform: Linux x86 64-bit"?

Regards.

Zoran
Skins should be fix, when this one goes in: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/4731

But yeah - Alpha window has started.

Hello

Today I made a fresh install on my htpc according to the howto in the 1. post, to see how it work with Ubuntu 14.04 and final Gotham release.
I works but I see periodoc stutter (every some seconds) .
It is not much, but it is visible.
Is this typical or do I made something wrong?

for your information see the logs:

Create a minimal Debug Log with something playing that shows the issue. Rest is fine.

@ixbmcee
Newer kernels address a lot of the judders. Your logs did not show any refresh changes.. Like fritsch said.

You might try one.
First I want to see it in the log, before I send him to install 3.15-rc6 ...

I have been kernel hopping all morning trying to get my tvstick kworld 435q v3 to play nice on my aq01 with tvheadend. 3.15rc5 is really good for no skips/judders. I am in that mode. Wink

You play 23.987fps content at 60 hz. That will get you a 3:2 cadence, but a skip / drop every 40 seconds. If you don't have the chance to run the TV at 23.976 hz. Use Sync Playback to Display with Method Video Clock _and_ Resample Audio. You need to disable Passthrough then of course.

Edit: I looked at the wrong part. I can see the disconts, yes. Please try with kernel 3.15-rc5. This should have all the changes that are needed to update the screen correctly.

I have updated to the new kernel, but the periodoc stutter is still in.
