RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - fritsch - 2013-04-29 Complete debug log, please. I must see the startup. Get me: apt-cache policy xbmc | pastebinit I think you don't run xvba enabled version at all. So I don't wonder that it stutters. RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - Begall - 2013-04-29 Recently I've had a problem with my DVB-T2 cards drivers breaking (will fail to tune properly until the system is restarted) when trying to tune into a channel in XBMC and/or set/remove an instant timer. I'm using the latest git tested build and I suspect it's caused by XBMC due to the following message in dmesg when it breaks: Code: [ 18.103390] init: Failed to spawn nmbd main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory Any thoughts? RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - fritsch - 2013-04-29 I found another bug. Since running this git build my coffee machine does not produce black coffee anymore it looks kind of not so black. Could this be a Limited Color issue? ... Come on guys stick to the topic. Edit: And as I am a nice guy with a helping syndrome. Got to your Bios and disable the firewire port. It uses this IRQ on Fusion Systems and greatly interfers. (If this does not solve your problem open up a bug with your distribution). RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - wsnipex - 2013-04-29 its Xbmcs fault that your TV cards driver sucks? I highly doubt that. RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - Begall - 2013-04-29 I wonder because of this line: [47682.594831] Pid: 2774, comm: xbmc.bin Tainted: PF O 3.8.0-19-generic #29-Ubuntu I don't know why xbmc would pop up in relation to the drivers dying otherwise? RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - fritsch - 2013-04-29 Cause you are watching TV with a pvr addon? and after some time your driver just dies. See my edit above. RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - Begall - 2013-04-29 I appreciate your help, and I'll give that a go, but you both need to drop the defensive attitude. I was not accusing your XBMC build of anything, just asking a question. RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - fritsch - 2013-04-29 We have a 214 pages thread here. It became that big because of questions that did not have anything to do with XVBA/VDPAU or this build at all. So much about defensive ...

So, embarrassingly enough, you were right about me not using xvba enabled version of xbmc. Don't know how that slipped through, maybe because I recently switched from frodo to the git version. Anyhow, I can watch HD movies now without any stutter; However, whenever I am on a different screen than the home screen (e.g.: System Settings, TV-Shows etc.), CPU usage goes back up to 100%, no matter which skin I use. This surely cannot be the normal behavior. RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - fritsch - 2013-04-30 System -> Settings -> System: Vertical Blank Sync: Always enabled.

RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - fritsch - 2013-04-30 Set the dirty region algorithm to 3. apt-cache policy fglrx output not correct. RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - keynone - 2013-04-30 Updated apt-cache policy fglrx above. Set dirty region algorithm to 3. XBMC idles in between 11% and 16% on home screen. EDIT: Still 100% cpu utilization with "recently added videos" activated on home screen. RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - PerryM - 2013-05-01 Please tell me to go and find another place if this is inappropriate! A link or three would be appreciated. I am a video engineer and occasional magazine writer. A year+ ago I attempted to build an appliance type PVR based upon an ASUS E35M1-I Deluxe Mobo. I wanted to try Linux (I was a 'noob') and tried all the obvious solutions but basically could not get HD to play smoothly. In this case HD is specifically the H.264 1080 50i as broadcast in UK. I understood at that time that the AMD drivers didn't work well and there was a project within the OpenELEC group to make some better ones. I haven't read all 215 pages of this strand but I have gathered that a standard build based upon Ubuntu 12.10 and its default Catalyst is a good place to start. I have therefore loaded a build of XuBuntu 12.10 on the ASUS and as a first trial, I have attached (via eSATA) a RAID loaded with recorded HD TV (.ts files), loaded a copy of VLC and tried to play a file. It is useless - I get about 1 frame a second! Now I am sure that I should be doing some tweaking so can somebody start me off in the right direction? Should I update the Catalyst driver? The real question is will it be worth it - will I get smooth play of broadcast (in UK) HD TV? RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - fritsch - 2013-05-01 If it is 1080i50 yes, without problems - visit us in #xbmc-xvba on irc.freenode.net or follow the howto of the beginning. It should be without a problem starting with a Ubuntu Quantal (64 bit) mini.iso. |
