RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - lameduse - 2013-09-01 Hi, For several weeks I am fighting with my E45M1 to have it working with Ubuntu 13.04... 3.8.0-29-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug 13 19:40:39 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I also installed xbmc, following the guide given in this forum. XBMC was working, but the PC was crashing randomly within xmbc or just using other desktop application. I found that compiz was not helping having a stable desktop situation, so I removed it. The PC was more stable but still, XBMC and other application were having crash problems, each time it was like a video buffer corruption, some strange artefacts were displayed, upto the moment of a system crash (more exactly a system hang). I figured out that my radeon driver must be the problem. So I decided to jump and try catalyst 13.8. After installation, the system is stable. I can use many applications, VLC for instance works fine now, as well as kazam and skype. But XBMC is now crashing just after launching. I activated the log, but the logfile is empty. I think it must be again a problem with some driver, maybe a compatibility problem.... So I removed XBMC (apt-get remove xbmc xbmc-bin) and redo an installation following this: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba-frodo sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install xbmc xbmc-bin But still crash. When it crashes, the PC reboots directly after launching XBMC. What can I do to? And more important, how did you do that: (2013-08-08, 22:23)fritsch Wrote: I used the E45M1 for all my testing / developing of XVBA and from that I know, it should work quite well :-) I can reinstall my whole system if necessary, I just want something working... Thank you in advance for help and time. RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - fritsch - 2013-09-01 Follow the howto from the first thread. Use 12.10 64 bit and install fglrx from the Repository (sudo apt-get install fglrx). That's basically it. PS: Try to link the Debug Log RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - muldereric - 2013-09-01 About a week ago I reinstalled XBMCBuntu on my computer and followed the instruction to be able to use Xvba on my machine for smooth playback and everything. This all worked fine for me, but I noticed that I did not pick the alternative method at step 3, therefore running the new Alpha release now. When I pause a movie, I noticed that the image as shown on the screen stretches beyond the visible part of the screen, though I "calibrated" the boundaries after installing. As a result, the playback buttons are partially "falling of the screen". Has anyone else had this or knows a solution for this? RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - wsnipex - 2013-09-01 don't use screen calibration in xbmc, instead use amdconfig/aticonfig to disable underscan: run this from ssh or a terminal (CTRL+ALT+F1] Code: sudo service lightdm stop RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - lameduse - 2013-09-01 Ok So I'll install 12.10. Just to know, does that mean Ubuntu 13.04 + fglrx 13.8 does not work ? About log: I tried to activate the log in ~/.xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml with <advancedsettings><loglevel>2</loglevel></advancedsettings> but I receive an empty file: # ls ~/.xbmc/temp -rw-rw-r-- 1 xbmc xbmc 0 sept. 1 12:55 xbmc.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 xbmc xbmc 0 sept. 1 12:28 xbmc.old.log Thank you for this fast answer.

Every driver since Catalyst 12.10 was bad and worse. Only driver since than "partially" working with manual patching: 13.6. RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - laric - 2013-09-01 Ubuntu 13.04 + fglrx 13.8 will not work. The latest working version is Ubuntu 12.10 with it's own driver. RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - ursli - 2013-09-05 After updating to latest xvba-testing (13.0~git20130905.0500-75d2a23-0quantal) to fix this problem I've noticed that I've got trouble with audio initialisation on LiveTV, at least I think that's what it is. If I press play there is no audio for a good 5 seconds and the picture is playing back at 10 fps for that amount of time, once audio plays picture recovers. I don't have these problems on LiveTV recordings or files in my library. I came from 13.0~git20130815.0500-36da37f-0quantal where everything works as expected. Debug Log with those actions taken: Starting xbmc - switching to LiveTV - playing back channel - stopping - switching to recordings - playing back recording - stopping LiveTV -> no audio for 5+ seconds choppy video until audio recovers Recording -> instant audio and video http://www.xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=55279 (starting livetv at 19:50:42) Not exactly sure where this should go, it may be a vnsi problem or something with ActiveAE. Any help would be appreciated. RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - FernetMenta - 2013-09-05 Does this happen every time you start live tv? I can't reproduce. RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - ursli - 2013-09-05 Every time I start any LiveTV channel. It seems to be more pronounced with channels using AC3 sound, it is also there with mpeg2 but not as long it seems. RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - FernetMenta - 2013-09-05 you have those in the log: ERROR: CDVDAudio::AddPacketsRenderer - timeout adding data to renderer indicating an issue with ActiveAE. interestingly it recovers without any additional log. Could you post a log where you start tv 10 times. Maybe I can find a pattern. Your audio settings would be of interest too. AW: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - raki - 2013-09-05 This problem sounds familiar, I think I have the same one. Gonna try reproducing it tomorrow! RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - ursli - 2013-09-05 http://www.xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=55320 there you go, starting and stopping TV 10 times. (Wasn't sure if you wanted different channels, I kept using the same 4) Audio Settings: (I've tried to sync to Video with drop/dupe audio, same result) RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - FernetMenta - 2013-09-06 I have an idea: pvr continuously calls pause on audio while buffering. we end up having quite many of those messages in the queue. I will push a fix this evening. RE: How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs - ursli - 2013-09-07 That fixed it indeed, just had a go on latest xvba-testing. Feels even faster now then before the problem turned up, thanks a lot. |
