RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD Radeon/Fusion and Nvidia GPUs - wsnipex - 2012-10-16

this is plain wrong. The xbmc package in the testing ppa has PVR api 1.5.


RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD Radeon/Fusion and Nvidia GPUs - KRA77 - 2012-10-16

that is odd, since the pvr plugin with api 1.3 is working fine, and any newer version of the plugin throws xbmc into crashloop.


RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD Radeon/Fusion and Nvidia GPUs - KRA77 - 2012-10-16

I just rebooted and found another version of pvr.nextpvr plugin in /usr/lib/xbmc/addons - I assume this is something that is included in your build, it is working at least.

@KRA77:
"Something that is included" - you are funny. wsnipex always takes care to build whole pvr-addons for the current testing version, to get users a troublefree experience. Those plugins are installed to /usr/lib/xbmc/addons/pvr.* ... so I don't see the problem.


RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD Radeon/Fusion and Nvidia GPUs - KRA77 - 2012-10-16

sorry, I'm no programmer, and I'm rather clueless to how you guys work Smile

Nextpvr was just recently accepted into main branch, so I was used to install the plugin myself.

And now I'm just trying to install the newest plugin versions for testing. But nothing above 1.3 worked. Then I find this version dated the same as the rest of xvba-testing, but it's like 174K and the downloaded plugins are like 900K so I cannot compare what version they are (unfortunatly the plugin dev doesn't update version nr or changelog) I assume the change in filesize is because it's using some shared libs rather than compile it in, but I have no clue.

it's great that you supply a great out of box experience. I'm just trying to add some more bleeding edge plugins Big Grin

I'm very thankful for you providing these bleeding edge builds so I can have some fun, I need that XVBA magic, VAAPI gives me problems with x264.

@freakwenc last try:

code...

if it still does not work, run http://dl.dropbox.com/u/55395638/collectsysteminfo.sh and post the pastebin link.

I've tried that but still get the
Code:
aticonfig: No supported adapters detected
error when I get to step 7.

I'm in the same boat as freakwenc. I wanted to test 12.6-legacy but am getting "No supported adapters detected" with my HD3650 AGP. Result is no hardware accel, grey square in bottom right corner and no mouse cursor.
From a terminal window, collecsysteminfo.sh worked though [1], and with extra output on terminal [2]

Do I need to copy /etc/ati/control from a 12.4 install?

Edit: I swapped temporarily on pulse-eight PPA but will revert to wsnipex if I manage to get 12.6-legacy working

@pvautrin:
Please reinstall the fglrx legacy driver. Currently you only have the userspace Part installed, but the kernel module is missing. Make sure to remove everything you installed by just running the catalyst installer script without creating packages.


RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD Radeon/Fusion and Nvidia GPUs - KRA77 - 2012-10-18

Hey guys, rather than use xbmcbuntu 11.10 as base I figure I try the minimal ubuntu as described in OP. (I'm using the xbmc-xvba-testing ppa)

But I run into problems, everything seems to be fine except I don't get "PCM" audio. I get passthrough (ac3/dts) audio but not normal audio. I tried the mini.iso listed in OP, and I try both 32bit and 64bit ubuntu 12.10 mini.iso. My soundcard is a CMI8770. Any ideas what is wrong ?

Code:
aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: CMI8770 [C-Media CMI8770], device 0: CMI8738-MC8 [C-Media PCI DAC/ADC]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: CMI8770 [C-Media CMI8770], device 1: CMI8738-MC8 [C-Media PCI 2nd DAC]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: CMI8770 [C-Media CMI8770], device 2: CMI8738-MC8 [C-Media PCI IEC958]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I use device 2 for passthrough, and I try both 0 and 1 but no normal sound, I check alsamixer and it's not muted. On xbmcbuntu device 0 gives audio.

Can you pastebin xbmc.log?
Audio Engine enumerates the devices when starting up.


RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD Radeon/Fusion and Nvidia GPUs - KRA77 - 2012-10-18

do you need debug log ?


RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD Radeon/Fusion and Nvidia GPUs - fritsch - 2012-10-18

Device 2 is your spdif output, so you are connected it via?

try aplay -L (large L).


RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD Radeon/Fusion and Nvidia GPUs - KRA77 - 2012-10-18

this is aplay -L

http://paste.ubuntu.com/1287665/

I use spdif output on card.


RE: Howto Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD Radeon/Fusion and Nvidia GPUs - fritsch - 2012-10-18

I don't see why it should not work. As it also works with passthrough. Make sure you choose SPDIF/Optical from the List - that is all. Perhaps turn on xbmc debugging and check the log - if it really opens the correct device.

There is one device with "null" channels, that is a bit odd, though.
