I can reproduce this: not stopping the video and starting another (or two) leads to a freeze/crash.
imho starting a video should auto stop an already playing video in background

I just tried a clean xvba build and I still have the same problem. I also noticed this on GitHub: https://github.com/FernetMenta/xbmc/issues/37 .
I download the sample and this one also gives a lot of artifacts. Maybe this is related to the problems with the sample I uploaded?

I'll join #xbmc-xvba later. At the moment I don't have much spare time.

Edit: Just installed xbmc from the xbmc-xvba ppa. This time it works fine for my sample. I'll make a new xbmcbuntu install on a usb stick later to do some more testing. When I compile the latest build from git I get a lot of this kind of output: http://pastebin.com/x4DsurQF . Is that normal?

Starting a new video does stop the playing one but decoder resources are cleared down after the last frame has left the render buffers. Hence you have situations with two decoder instances.

It occurs when I stopped the video and when I just paused. Sometimes i'am forced to reboot because I just cannot start a new video.

The htpc also starts hang'in when it's paused for longer then 5 minutes. Very annoying.

Here's a new log from yesterday http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3523108/xbmc_crashlog-20120422_173344.log

Can you try with refresh rates which are closer to video fps?

RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/ATI Radeon and Fusion GPUs - Beninho - 2012-04-25 08:24

Ehm,

Will try that.

You mean refreshrate in system settings? Or per video?

Any ideas why the pvr and xvba options are missing from my install?

fresh ubuntu 12.04 with jockey amd drivers and the xbmc-xvba-eden ppa

EDIT: Just noticed theres a more recent version of xbmc in the ubuntu repository.

Fixed it by installing synaptic package manager then forcing the version from this ppa on xbmc and xbmc-bin

Sorry of this is a stupid question or of it's been answered before (been following for a while and can't recall it being asked).

I've read that AE will be merged with master sometime in May. Will this xvba code be following the same suit?

RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/ATI Radeon and Fusion GPUs - wsnipex - 2012-04-25 22:28

whatever gets into master will get into the xvba branch until xvba gets merged into master too

Good enough for me!

Thanks wsnipex
