sudo dpkg -i *rc7ckfixes*deb

To test, turn on "Adjust Refreshrate to match video" and "Sync Playback to Display" Video Clock (Drop / Dupe) and play some passthrough (DTS, AC3, DTS-HD, TrueHD) at 24p mode.

These won't fix the flickering reported for some asics.

Isn't the problem that xbmc thinks it is sending 23.976, but is actually sending 24.0? The audio is getting dropped because of the difference it seems to me.. is it possible to setup a specific modeline in an xorg.conf to fix this?

When I have my settings as you said to test this out -- and play a 24p video and hit 'o' to show the coded info on screen, I see the middle section of the output for Video: P(fr:23.976) and the lower section of the output shows W( fps: 24.00 ...)

Also my projector clearly displays the input as being 24.00Hz for the input signal. I have other devices and when using xvba install former to using the vdpau install, the input on the projector would say 23.976Hz when I played 24p videos.


----- ok
scratch all that I said above about an xorg file.. I installed the two files you listed and played a 24p movie -- it is now showing up in codec info as 23.98 and on the projector input info display as 23.97Hz!!! thanks!!! and now dropouts so far after a couple of minutes watching!
Grigori (zgreg) has just finished implementation of temporal / spatial. I made first tests here with xbmc, looking great - currently there is a little patch for xbmc needed, which I want to talk about with fernetmenta first on how to keep nvidia as it was before.
Hi, I have installed a fresh ubuntu with XBMC according to the first post two times, but something is wrong and I cannot find the answer in this thread. After installing I get the following on my TV:

I did get an error reporting a missing crystalhd-driver so I installed that, but that only removed the error/warning.

Has anyone had this problem before and/or know the solution?
@ronaldmik:
Please visit us in #xbmc-xvba on freenode. Let's do some tests. You did nothing obviously wrong :-)

is this only for Raring or Precise too?
This is not for precise and it is additionally not for ION-2 platform, affects radeon only.

It just gets better. Once I see it I will test immediately. I am very sensitive to deinterlacing artifacts. Cant wait. Most of US content from major networks is really only telescened with only 2/5 frames interlaced, thank goodness. 1080i 29.97.

Just one things I noted tonight testing. Bob vdpau causes recurring frame drops on some 1080i h.264 telescened, slight judder. CPU bob no extra drops, no judder, 1% extra CPU useage maybe. Disabling interlacing no drops but w is 30fps and fuzzy as expected.
I really look forward to adv. Deint. I already upgraded ram to dual channel today anticipating it. Thanks!
wsnipex, I did an apt-get upgrade today and updated xbmc but the 13.0alpha10 Nov2 has some issues with Music Addons. They don't show up anymore in the music menu.
no, its the other way round: the addons have issues with current nightlies, they might need an upgrade.
@fritsch (add. info)
mpeg2 on juniper is already known and described here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66450
There is even a mesa patch referenced.
some stuff has been moved
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/me...44561.html

it seems that everything is included from the offered patch
Updated to 3.12.0

Code:
mkdir ~/kernel
cd ~/kernel
wget https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55728161/linux-image-3.12.0%2B_1.0_amd64.deb https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55728161/linux-headers-3.12.0%2B_1.0_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i *3.12.0*deb

I will update that howto to use Ubuntu Saucy in the future. I had some time to test it over the weekend and wsnipex will kindly provide updated packages for it.

The only reason for this custom kernel is currently the 24p sync and the Multichannel / Bitstream Audio Test.
