Hi,
I've successfully installed vaapi via XvBa:
ibva: libva version 0.31.0-sds6
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/va/drivers/fglrx_drv_video.so
libva: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA API version: 0.31
vainfo: Driver version: Splitted-Desktop Systems XvBA backend for VA API - 0.6.11
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
VAProfileMPEG2Simple : VAEntrypointIDCT
VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointIDCT
VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileVC1Advanced : VAEntrypointVLD
Then I checked out XBMC via subversion, installed all dependencies and configured and compiled it successfully.
Result is that VAAPI is enabled according to the compilation output...
I called "sudo make install" later and that went fine, too...
BUT...
When I run XBMC there is no VAAPI usage (at least according to CPU load)...
Is there any video config setting that needs to be set within XBMC or somewhere else?
I cannot see any setting within XBMC which I can choose - no word about VAAPI.
By the way - I cannot select "Auto detect" as rendering option because then I only hear audio and a black screen... but that was already the case before upgrading the driver and using the SVN version...
Any idea?
Thanks
Markus

the same screen as the "Auto Detect" should contain a toggle to enable vaapi

I just got everything freshly from SVN and did all the stuff I expect to be needed:
a) I uninstalled XBMC via synaptic
b) I checked if XBMC was really uninstalled which wasn't because my last manual build installed XBMC into a different folder than synaptic
c) So, I uninstalled the last manual build via sudo make uninstall
d) I checked if XBMC really was gone and it really was
e) I even deleted the .xbmc folder
Then I did the following:
(Configure again told me that VAAPI support was enabled)
After that I started XBMC and chose "System --> Video --> Playback".
I see the following options for "Render method": Auto detect, Software, Advanced shaders (GLSL), Basic shaders (ARB).
Was the trunk the wrong choice? I'm completely confused. Where am I failing? :-)
Thanks
Markus
PS: all options there are:
Resume from where last stopped
Render method
Allow hardware acceleration (VDPAU)
Use pixel buffer objects
Adjust display refresh rate to match video
Sync playback to display
A/V sync method
Allowed error in aspect ratio to minimize black bars
Display 4:3 video as
VDPAU Studio level color conversion
Activate Teletext
Wrong menu at all? Or maybe somewhere hidden config files?

Same with me. I tried to install all necessary development packages for vaapi, but only vdpau appears as a usable option ( i am trying vaapi with nvidia backend)

Same problem, I compile and no vaapi.
Compiled using svn 30321 (the most recent) and a few revisions earlier and no luck
using ati 5770 video card with radeon driver 10.4
here is my vainfo
I compiled mplayer-vaapi (not for use with xbmc) and it works and plays so I know vaapi is installed and working
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Greg

I'm having the same troubles.
I've got 0.31.0-sds6 installed.
Compiling gave me:
But I can't select vaapi. I can select VDPAU
Also, running XBMC now, the cpu uses 100%. But I don't know if that's related.
I reinstalled by Ubuntu box for this but that didn't help either
I have these packages installed:

I can confirm this. The log also says vaapi disabled. Mplayer compiles Fine and uses vaapi. Seems like vaapi is disabled in trunk?

Sounds weird.. haven't tested it in a while thou. Will test when i get the chance

I've been encountering the same issue (no vaapi option, auto-detect gives blank screen) over the past few days with an ATI Radeon HD4550. I have tested that vaapi works using mplayer independently. I thought it was something I had done wrong in the setup and tried reinstalling ubuntu / recompiling xbmc. Hope this gets fixed soon.

Looks to be fixed in the daily SVN. Working for my combination of a ATI Radeon HD4550 with a single core Intel Celeron CPU (plays 1080p successfully)
A lot of you seem to have ATI hardware. Did you encounter any problems? Last Time i checked, i had a very jumpy experience, the Frames seemed out of order sometimes.
I will try it tomorrow evening.
BTW the shader issue seems to be a different story.

On ATI hardware I would not say that it is jumpy but I did notice some tearing on occasion. Not sure if that is a setting somewhere that I have wrong
