I took the VA-API colorspace fixes from staging. This should fix both SD and HD colorspace issues. I've only tried HD, but that seems good. I'll need to find some SD test material.
I made a small patch to kernel based on Ville's advice to fix the black levels in limited range output. I also implemented a pass-through mode for use with sw decoding and 16:235 range in xbmc.
These should fix the grey blacks and inaccurate colors. There are three ways to configure:
1) GPU scaled limited range output: This is the default setting when connected to a TV. There is no need for any settings - remove xrandr from Autostart.sh to use this.
2) Full range output: This is the default when connected to a computer monitor. This can also be forced with the xrandr setting in Autostart.sh.
Image should look identical between #1 and #2. If the screen supports switching RGB input ranges, both should be signaled automatically - otherwise #2 is used. Leave everything at default and things should work right automatically.
There is another way for better quality:
3) Direct limited range output: This allow for BtB, WtW and avoids banding. Software decoding needs to be used (VA-API output is first clipped and scaled to full range). Configure xbmc for 16-235 output and no hardware decoding. Use xrandr to set "Broadcast RGB" to "Video 16:235 pass-through" (this allows full range output, but tells the screen content is limited range)
There is a build based on recent OE master (with Gotham) at https://www.dropbox.com/s/s4cqdn8vh324cp...r16417.tar
If you still see black level problems with this build, please post numbers and details ( you can follow instructions at http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1555766 )
Link working fine atm.

I am being told 4gb of ram is enough, get 1.35v etc. But when I search it comes up with single sticks at 4 gb, or 2 sticks at 2 gb. Could someone please give me a link to the crucial 4gb RAM that i can use, preferably on ebay.
I put 2 of these in mine:
