Hello,

just a quick question, does Dharma have XVBA support compiled into? I didn't see the option in the options pane, nor in the log file.
Currently I am not running a ATI driver, but the option should be there at least in the log, no?

Thanks!

ATI XVBA API has not been documented. It is only available through VAAPI which has libraries to utilize XVBA. This means you need to get VAAPI with ATI libraries working. I am not sure if VAAPI is enabled in the Dharma release. You probably have to compile one for yourself.

See this guide:

I know, sorry for the quite incorrect question.

But VAAPI should be enabled, according to this

But that’s just the beginning of Dharma. We have improved the entire experience. As always, we strive to play all of the current media formats available, including the new WebM/VP8 codec that is the latest buzz. Hardware acceleration has been added in windows (Vista or 7) via DXVA2, CrystalHD has been added for all platforms (best supported in OSX and Linux), VDPAU support has been improved in Linux, and VAAPI support has been added for the hardware that supports it in Linux. There are far too many improvements to list here, so check out the changelog for a full list.

But it seems I have to compile it myself....
