RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - Kib - 2013-04-11
wsnipex, I just read http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=162100&pid=1394351 and was wondering if by
any chance you could incorporate the 12.2 'testing' version on top of your xvba Frodo version, or create a PPA for just 12.2 'testing' ?
I would love to do some tests with it but there is no ubuntu PPA up as far as I can see - and I just realised your title is 'Team-XBMC packaging monkey'
If anyone can do it it would be you.
RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - un1versal - 2013-04-11
Why dont you compile from source?, after all xvba is far (very far) from any standard XBMC code (not to discount any xvba pre 12.2 wont need testing either) and that topic is for code which is pulled into the Frodo, if anything not to skew any testing the ppa would be for Testing inbetween stable releases. Right?

RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - Kib - 2013-04-11
Well I have never done it, and I just wondered if wsnipex would be able to make a 12.2 version (either with or without xvba) as there is none made yet, so XBMC 12.2 issues under Ubuntu might not be picked up on.
RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - un1versal - 2013-04-11
Very easy see 3rd link on my signature, just use frodo bransh instead of master and compiles are us
So instead of
git clone git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git
it would be
git clone -b frodo git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git

RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - Kib - 2013-04-12
Yeah thx uNi, but it is a bit besides the point really.
I meant to have builds available for everyone, which means at least a few crosscompiles and I just assumed he would have buildbots or something. Anyway I see you requested it yourself in the other thread as well. Maybe I should have been more clear.
I probably could figure out how to build it for myself, I have compiled stuff before, and I am somewhat experienced with git
The only system I have available to build on would be my Atom D525 system, and I am not sure how long that would take. Might be an interesting excercise none the less.
I would like to see someone from the team put up some builds up for testing though.
RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - un1versal - 2013-04-12
Yes I agree, I asked in other thread because its the standard code which is really supported by the team and where its ontopic and whats being asked to be tested, the xvba is only supported by fernet iirc
In either case Linux builds are always "forgotten" and especially the Ubuntu/XBMCbuntu stuff.
I did point to third link on my sig that removes the figuring out part out of the compile and gave you the replacement gitclone for xvba git source instead.
it would be easier if the ppas provided builds though however in this case a particular ppa would have to be created (given nature of inbetween 12.2 and because existing testing ppas have v13 pre code in and wont accept a v12 code upload) and many users still dont know what a ppa is and dont read wiki or bother much with testing anything that hasnt been released.

I'll see if I can put up a ppa with 12.2 testing next week, but probably only mainline.
RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - Begall - 2013-04-14
Alright, so since I installed the latest package on the xbmc-xvba branch I've been having serious problems with video corruption when watching HD channels (H264 codec) via Tvheadend. It is at its worst when there is constantly moving action such as sport, during programs or adverts without much movement there is little to no corruption.
It manifests as constant tearing and breaking up in the image with fps dropping at the same moment, although audio remains undisturbed. It's only when watching HD TV channels, watching H264 local media/internet streams and mpeg-2 SD channels still works fine. I know this isn't a Tvheadend server issue as the signal remains strong and another PC I have with a stable Frodo build does not have this issue.
I'm on a Sandy Bridge i3 system and I use VAAPI, however I have tried switching over to software decoding and it's made no difference. I always switched the new 'Use HQ scaling when:' setting from 0% to 20% without change. Here's a debug log of me loading the system and watching a HD channel:

RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - FernetMenta - 2013-04-14
The log indicates parser issues either caused by tvheadend itself or the addon. There is one known issue which can even make the system crash: https://github.com/opdenkamp/xbmc-pvr-addons/pull/181
Check the RPi section of the forum. Those guys have even more trouble with tvheadend.
RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - Begall - 2013-04-14
You're right that it's something to do with the Tvheadend demux code, as I've just checked and recordings will play back fine, even on HD videos with a lot of movement. However, downgrading to the previous XBMC/addon package hasn't helped, so I'm guessing it's something to do with the server.
Edit: In retrospect that makes no sense. Clearly the data being sent from the server is fine, as it records with no problems. It's something in the TVH playback, but if that's the case I don't understand why dropping back to 12.1/1.6.19 didn't help. Either way, dropping back from 3.5 git master TVH to the latest 3.4 beta code didn't help.

I am unable to use vdpau on SD movies. I can find no option to enable it and, according to the on-screen Codec Info, playing the movie does not use vdpau. Whilst movie is running the deinterlacing and scaling options available are the standard software not the ones I see when playing HD material.
Here is an xbmc.log showing me playing the first few minutes of (iso image) SD Movie (after a fresh xbmc restart): http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=12133
I can play without problems HD material using vdpau.
I am running:
* amd athlon X II dual core x86_64 with nVidia GT520 graphics card
* Ubuntu 12.10 custom minimum build (no window manager)
* XBMC ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba (13.0-ALPHA3 Git:41061a8)

DVD playback never uses hw acceleration.

That would be excellent. Will you update your XVBA Frodo branch as well once 12.2 is finalized ?

Question for wsnipex.
I didn't upgrade in a while, what is this current version with number "13" in it :-)
Is ist still frodo and is it safe to upgrade?
Code:
xbmc@xbmc:~$ apt-cache policy xbmc

Any thoughts about 13.0 Alpha gives only 24fps in GUI with Resolution set to 1080p 50Hz?
