is this correct or an misfeature?
does anyone have the same issue with the tv-series database update? it does not update automatically though the youtube addon is installed!
no its not normal and we noticed it too. We are looking into it, in the meantime it does help a bit to disable rss feeds. This brings down idle load by half for me, although it will still be a bit high.

By idle, you mean "idle" in the main menu?
If so, do you have configured to scroll an RSS feed at the bottom?
I presume that you're using default skin "Confluence" in current version.

@ chemical
i look in the settings menu in the hardware info, and this is "idle" for me. xbmc has nothing to do, only to render the confluence skin.
yes, i´ve the rss-feed activated.
@ wsnipex
ok, i will try it! but i like the rss-feed, so this is not the best solution for me! i hope you find the problem!

Yeah it's not, aplay -l doesn't list it. Using ubuntu miimal 11.10.
is ati hdmi sound still disabled in kernel?
I have a AMD E-350 with AMD Radeon HD 6310 and it was working from scratch.
You could check whether your Audio device is found with:
Code:
lspci -nnkThis also shows which kernel module is used. You may get further help here: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Help_To_Debug

Please look at the main menu, some settings menus trigger redrawing.
There should not be more then 8% idle load with rss disabled.
You also also scrap off a little load by disabling nofliptimeout in advancedsettings.xml.
We don't know whats going on with RSS, but that is not xvba related, but must be fixed(if possible) in mainline.
If you really like RSS just leave it on. As soon as the screen saver kicks in the load should go down to 1-2% anyway.

wsnipex Wrote:nice job. If you repackage the Xvba branch as is(with the same configure flags) you might want to add a note, that it only works with ATI hardware, as I purposefully disable Vdpau and Vaapi.
Hai, ok done that,
new version is building now.
For some people to know,
I run on an asrock M3501/USB3 mainboard, on debian wheezy.
Sound for xbmc is done with hdmi, in xbmc i have set the output to "ati generic HDMI"
since i see some people having problems with hdmi to get to work, i dont know the difference between the ubuntu install and the debian driver install, but mine works out of the box.
you can check with alsamixer if the hdmi output is not muted.

If the screensaver is "dim", the rss feed keeps scrolling ;-)

The short answer is: no.
The long answer: We want this to work for as many "normal" people as possible, so the steps to get it going are well tested and minimized. Installation of a 3.2 kernel would not make anything better for 99.9 per cent of our users and it would possibly break working installations cause of driver changes, firmware changes, e.g.
What you can do:
If you still know your steps and you can easily summarize them, just go on and post these steps into one of the next entries. We tried to support the upcoming preceise release some days ago, but it does not even compile for now with our standard procedure.
If you need any further help, we created a temporary irc channel on freenode #xbmc-xvba. We could look at the kernel.log and the Xorg.0.log which stopped you going with 3.0.0-14.
