Since you guys are rewriting VDPAU, would it make sense to make sure it works with new Open-Source UVD [1] before merging with mainline?

@pvautrin:
Read the news again - but there is something other, the OSS UVD implementation has mpeg-2 and mpeg-4

Next first look: It does seem, that there is _no_ deinterlacing implemented.

Hello,

After upgrading to the latest version from git-tested when I start a movie the screen turns blank and it stays like that even if I stop the movie. Sound is working ok.

Anyone getting this?

Thanks

No bug without a debug.log


RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - alextz - 2013-04-03

I added the bug log in the original post. Sorry for that.


RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - fritsch - 2013-04-03

You have:
Code:
<gui>
<algorithmdirtyregions>1</algorithmdirtyregions>
<visualizedirtyregions>false</visualizedirtyregions>
<nofliptimeout>0</nofliptimeout>
</gui>

This is _not_ safe, please use algorithm 3 and a positive fliptimeout.

Modified the file as suggested in post 1 now but still the same thing.

Which catalyst is this? Can you just for testing, please disable "Adjust Refreshrate" to match video?


RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - alextz - 2013-04-03

Catalyst 12.9 and it works without "Adjust Refreshrate".
Before this if I tried to modify the refresh rate manualy it also blanked out at 23.9xx

What happens, if you switch the refreshrate before you start xbmc?

One other thing, concerning your audio
Code:
CSoftAE::InternalOpenSink - Using speaker layout: 2.1

are you sure with the 2.1?

next error, libcec2:
sudo apt-get install libcec2

I have some time tomorrow and will look into the xrandr problem. Thanks for the report.


RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - alextz - 2013-04-03

I have a soundbar with subwoofer using a hdmi passthrough so 2.1.
I will install libcec2 and give you a log after that.


RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - fritsch - 2013-04-03

libcec will not fix the black screen of course, just found it while reading the logfile.

Anyone noticed this http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_opensource_uvd&num=1

Will existing AMD users benefit from this ?
