Nope - from what I see it seems that some nvidia driver is still somewhere left on the system.

dpkg -l |grep nvidia

will reveal.
dpkg -l |grep nvidia

revealed nothing.

But did find out that xserver-xorg-video-ati wasnt installed.

Hi Guys,

Still have trouble with video playback......very jumpy. I've updated to the latest version. Logs:

dmesg

xorg
http://paste.ubuntu.com/6821925/
vdpauinfo

Cheer.

@bdcobley: Verify with the clannad sample I posted in this thread from _local_ disk and post that log please. Restart xbmc before with debug logging enabled - then let's see.
Hi,

my system suffers by problems with graphics. I cannot see if the problems are interconnected or just separated.

Starting from frontend ... there is a lot of error messages related to AV decoding.
Kernel and video drivers ... errors related to drm and radeon.

I am able to watch HD video without a problem, but when I start to watch live TV (tvheadend as the backend), the picture freeze and green artifacts are present.
Can you help me?

Thanks
M

Recordings work? only mpeg-2 (SD-TV) affected?

Can you play that file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5572...formers.ts
Yes, rocording is functional and works correctly. The attached file plays without problems.

when you do SSH, you won't get anything because you don't have actual control of the DISPLAY
you just have to do a pastebinit command (see HOW-TO on the first post) to see what the results are.
@mochour: Change your backend to VDR. tvheadend has big problems currently. Alternatively, use their 3.4 version.

I am running tvheadend 3.4.27, compiled from source. I'll try VDR,but anyway, I can see some problems related to mesa/drm.

Do you have any experience with similar problems?

I'm running tvheadend with an xbmc built from this guide, by the letter, no artefacts at all and works like a charm.

I had some minor issues with the stable branch but now compiled from nightly build (tvheadend 3.9.373).

I'm going to try VDR though now, if fritsch says its better then its worth testing Wink
If recordings are fine, but live TV crashes - then I really would check the backend. That's all I say.
