Hi CrystalP,

Thanks for the reply. I tried to press Tab while playing. It shows a distorted video for a second and then goes to black behind the UI. I noticed in this mode it sometimes shows some gray screen with artifacts, but at full screen mode it is all black. The audio works fine in both cases by the way.

Experience with mpc-hc:
It did not enabled the DXVA2 for Quantum of Solace or Planet Earth samples, so the playback was not smooth. I tried an mkv file from http://divxtrailers.divx.com/BigBuckBunn...PlusHD.mkv
While trying this one DXVA2 was enabled, and however the frame rate was around 11 and CPU was at 90%. So something fishy.

Experience with VLC:
When the GPU is enabled the video colors goes to blue. I cant tell exactly what it dos but the playback is pretty bad. I guess the VLC does play well with Intel.

However I know the HW is capable of decoding HD. I tried mplayer-vaapi on Linux and it works fine.

I can help you to diagnose the issues if you could give me specific things to check. What do I need to build xbmc from code in Windows?

What hardware and OS are you using? What was the resolution of the files you tested? 720P? 1080P?

I've found that even though poulsbo states it can decode video up to 1080P in practice that doesn't seem to be the case. I have a Asus T91 tablet and can play 720p files just fine using MPC-HC (DXVA2) or Windows Media Player (DXVA2?) on Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit. The 1080P files I've played are choppy or the frame rate crawls in both players.

Just like you though I would like to get poulsbo working in XBMC. Whatever I can test I am willing to help.
