RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - Drag0nFly - 2013-08-22 (2013-08-22, 14:18)fritsch Wrote: The commit fixes 5.1 LPCM over HDMI.Ok, thanks for the clarification; I will try the latest Xvba PPA build when that is available. Just to be clear on my side as well, both 5.1 LPCM and 5.1 FLAC is being sent as AC3. This works (perfectly) only if the sync option is set to 'Audio clock'. When 'Video clock (resample audio)' or 'Video clock (drop/dupe audio)' is set you get artifacts (once a second with the first, around 1-2 each minute for the last). btw.–do you have an idea what the cause for the segfaults might be? I could test this with the official branch, but I assume that the Alpha Gotham builds are still based on SDL code (last I tested, which was pretty recent they still were). If so they are unusable for my dual-monitor setup which is pretty flawless at this point–judder/tearing all gone: as well as sync issues taken care of. The video is silky smooth and even better than what I previously had when running XBMC on OS X. RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - fritsch - 2013-08-22 Concerning the segfaults, try to run it in gdb and see where it crashes. Backtraces are welcome. Edit: Video clock (drop / dupe audio) is my default setting. So that makes me wonder. Repost that logfile please.

RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - Drag0nFly - 2013-08-22 This is _not_ related to the window manager. Re-read my post. RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - fritsch - 2013-08-22 You cannot sync to display, if some compositing wm implements uses triple buffering. And in that case it seems, that vaapi gets serious problems (see your log). RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - Robotica - 2013-08-23 (2013-07-18, 14:09)Robotica Wrote: Hi.. I've seen the efforts AMD (and many others) are putting in HSA. It looks really great for htpc usage. Anyone with a professional opinion about this in relation to xbmc? Some tech news which shows that XBMC to benefit AMD hardware, xbmc needs to be (heavily?) optimized to support their new hUMA tech. RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - Drag0nFly - 2013-08-24 My issue looks a lot like the one reported in: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=165253 and for which the following git pull request is associated: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/2815 The referenced bug relates to an uninitialized member in the VDPAU code, and I am wondering if the same could hold true for VAAPI or if this is just a coincidence. I performed some extensive testing on this today & yesterday– re-ripped a feature, watched it through to the end (with VAAPI acceleration), no issues. Also looked at nearly every file in my small but growing MKV library, again with VAAPI enabled (starting/stopping ~30 video files without issues until trying the 'problematic one', which consistently produces a segfault). Not always the first time, but always within 4-5 tries. Also re-ripped this disc to see if it would behave any differently, which (of course) it didn't. When disabling VAAPI (which works ok for every other video), this video works fine. I did run XBMC through gdb, but this will have to be redone as it did not produce much useable output (not following the threads), nor produce a stacktrace which would give any indication as to what is failing. GDB syntax welcome. Including it here anyway. Code: (gdb) run RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - pshepherd - 2013-08-24 I am running a recent version of testing (13.0-ALPHA6 Git:fe7d93a) and have noticed video playback is not quite as smooth as it might be, this is visable on some pans/zooms etc. Most of the content I watch are SD/HD mpg files recorded by a MythTV backend although the same phenomena occurs on ripped DVDs. All the files are played back via an NFS share on a wired connection. Not sure if it is related but on the info screen I have noticed that the w(fps value skips about between 48.xx and 51.xx rather than being steady at 50.00 which I thought should perhaps be the case. I think the various video playback settings are at the recommended values. A debug log is at http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=49261 I have looked through this thread and not found any clues, any suggestions? thank you, Paul RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - FernetMenta - 2013-08-24 you are running a rather old version of July 28th. This one had a bug choosing the correct resolution: Resolution 1360x768 @ 60.02 - Full Screen (16) not a very good match for fps 50.000 with 2:3 cadence AW: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - raki - 2013-08-25 Can somebody give me a short update which drivers work for me? I'm running latest (two weeks ago) xbmcbuntu and planning to update to fernetmentas latest builds (Gotham) + vdr for the (hopefully) best PVR / Timeshift experience. If I can handle it I would like to add spotyxbmc2. But I'm still confused which driver to use. So please correct me if you have any other suggestions for my goals. Thank you! RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - laric - 2013-08-25 What GPU are you gonna use? Nvidia,AMD or Intel? And what model? I would suggest a fanless Nvidia-card build if I were you as that is the one that is the most hassle free AFAIK. AW: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - raki - 2013-08-25 Shame on me, forgot to mention my specs: xbmcbuntu is running on a AMD A6-5400 (I think there's an AMD 7540D integrated). Well, I guess the APU is the important part you need to know, right? RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - fritsch - 2013-08-26 Driver depends on your Ubuntu release. If you are on 12.10 Quantal, use what the apt repo has. If you are on 12.04, use the Catalyst 12.10. If you are on 13.04 - you won't be that lucky and need a patched 13.6 driver, see some pages back. RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - wsnipex - 2013-08-26 xbmcbuntu 12.2 is based on quantal, so your fglrx should be fine. AW: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - raki - 2013-08-26 Thanks guys! |
