I'm a noob. Sorry if this is the wrong forum.
Curious if you guys have gpu acceleration implemented on any builds of XBMC? Linux or windows.
I know Media Portal has it. I just tried it out and I'm really impressed with the GPU implementation. It's f-ing amazing, especially with HD content and on the fly deinterlacing via ATI's drivers. I don't think i can go back to vanilla XBMC til they implement the GPU. Why have the video card there if you're not going to use it?

Sorry not yet, if you look in the linux development forums you'll see Rudd is working on it but we have no specific ETA yet, GPU acceleration isn't easy especially cross-platform, which isn't a concern mediaportal has to worry about.

Been a long time since I've programmed using it but does OpenGL 2.0 or even 3.0 GLSL (OpenGL Shader Language) support the sort of functionality needed for video decoding?
This might not be an option across all platforms but may be worth looking at.
Alternatively OpenCL may be an option as support is being suggested for most of the Windows and OSX (10.6 at least). It would prob be more work and less efficent.

Open CL does not have people riled up. You do. You need to take it down a notch. Bringing up old posts just to link to your post is not needed.
Just keep the discussion in one thread.

Overreacted? Do you want to see me overreact? I have been nothing but polite. I'm just asking you to keep the discussion to one thread. No need to dig up all the old threads.
I really do think you are trying to be antagonistic. You are challenging everything somebody says. I am not saying to stop discussing Open CL. I think it is a good discussion. I am just saying to stick to one thread.
It is not a forum rule, but more of a common courtesy to not clog the forums with the same discussion spanning over different threads. If you want to discuss Open CL, stick to your thread. Isn't that enough? Much easier to refer to a single thread than numerous ones.
So, you need to relax and not think that everybody is out to get you.
