Are you sure you have the NVIDIA and VDPAU drivers installed on your system (they would be under additional hardware in Ubuntu 10.10 in the corner)? Are you sure you've activated VDPAU in the system > video > playback menu in XBMC?ok didn't know that about the hardware. then it's the drivers or the xbmc settings indeed.
Quote:And if I understood correctly, Dushmaniac said that there was a problem earlier with tvheadend not passing on also the necessary video stream info to support VDPAU so you need a newer (svn or from dushmaniac's PPA) version of tvheadend.you'll need the sources from my git repos or my ppa builds of xbmc too, because the information wasn't passed through by the tvheadend addon.
Quote:I've noticed that sometimes channels lose the VDPAU temporal options depending on the transmission, or sometimes, if there's a size or aspect ratio change in a commercial etc. But it is definitely channel/what you're watching dependent, and when it switches off it stays off I think (if auto select for deinterlacing worked right, this wouldn't be much of an issue).personally, I got the default setting on "(VDPAU) temporal" and I manually changed the setting on HD channels to "none". a working autodetection would be nice yeah
Quote:As far as the HD (and SD) channels, I've gotten a ton of stuttering with 2:10.0-dharma+pvr~odk36+maverick and 2:10.0-dharma+pvr~odk32+maverick to the point where the video is unwatchable and I have reconnected my dvb-t cable directly to the TV, but all was well with 2:10.0-dharma+pvr~odk30+maverick as far as playback.try disabling VAAPI in the video settings and manually put it on VDPAU.
