Got this also... remedied by adding the PPAs. Should I add the "unstable" PPA repository? Or does it matter?

Also note, you need to use "sudo make -j2".

In the home stretch, but have one more quesitons. The default XBMC directory seems to be "~/.xbmc"... If I want to keep all settings should I use the following:
$sudo make install DESTDIR=$HOME/.xbmc

Any advice appreciated!

Thanks!

Yeah I know, but for some weird reason this has never worked for me in XBMCbuntu for any command. Works fine in ubuntu...

Bit late, but just wanted to say I solved this problem in case someone comes across this in the future Wink
Apparently you HAVE to use a seperate custom sudoers file in the included /etc/sudoers.d directory. Just put all the added lines in your own file, add it there and it works. Be careful not to have the same lines in both files, because sudo will fail to work and you won't have any root acces anymore (guess how I found that out Wink).

I guess that makes sense since xbmc does the same with repos.

Don't want to get too experimental with this box so I guess if this is due to the same problem I'm waiting for a fix to come along for my XBMCbuntu? I'll try waiting some seconds before playing to see if that helps things.

RE: crash when playing content with VDPAU enabled - fiatt - 2012-12-10

Hi!

I've installed xbmc via the official kubuntu repo. I got the freezing beug when i launch some HD videos (wich are easily playable with VLC). I read this topic and it seems it's because of VDPAU.

I've also read that by compiling the dev version of xbmc, the problem is solved.
So should i do this: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Compile_XBMC_on_Debian/Ubuntu

or should i use one of this repo:
Xvba and improved Vdpau (not mainline)
https://launchpad.net/~wsnipex/+archive/xbmc-xvba

https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/unstable
https://launchpad.net/~team-xbmc/+archive/xbmc-nightly

Thanks for helping.

RE: crash when playing content with VDPAU enabled - basco - 2012-12-10

i use the latest xvba/vdpau rom wsnipex, had the crashes too.
after update to 9 dec version it's solved.
oh ans i also use xorg edgers ppa .19 latest

RE: crash when playing content with VDPAU enabled - un1versal - 2012-12-10

Xorg edgers is a insanely bad idea, not recommended under the best of circumstances. They mess with way to many system packages, if something goes wrong good luck tracking it down (which will sooner rather than later)

For Nvidia drivers x-swat ppa is more acceptable.

RE: crash when playing content with VDPAU enabled - fiatt - 2012-12-10

So i add https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates and https://launchpad.net/~wsnipex/+archive/xbmc-xvba

then i update and that's all? No need to compile?

RE: crash when playing content with VDPAU enabled - un1versal - 2012-12-10

no need to compile, just add those and run
Code:
apt-get update
and
sudo apt-get install xbmc nvidia-settings nvidia-current

Newer packages will automatically get installed.

RE: crash when playing content with VDPAU enabled - fiatt - 2012-12-10

No luck. After install what you told me, xbmc don't run, i get a message telling me i need a driver. So i activate the x-swat 310 driver and reboot. Xbmc runs fine but no more artworks or ugly ones. I launch the video and this time no freeze, the sound seems good but i got a black screen, even jumping on different times.
Another thing, my keymap of the remote controller don't work anymore.

So i'll test to build xbmc with the git of FernetMenta page 2 of this topic.

I'll tell you.

Thanks.

I couldn't be so hard and I believe it is a mattter of entering not so many commands in linux console...

PleaseWink

$ cd /usr/src/
$ sudo git clone git://github.com/FernetMenta/xbmc.git
$ cd xbmc
$ sudo ./bootstrap; sudo ./configure; sudo make; sudo make install

Better run: ./configure --enable-vdpau
configure will fail if libvdpau-dev is not present.

I'm trying to do that. i had some errors, depedencies that was not present. I first used a part of your srcipt, uNiversal, to have all the depedencies. libcec1 had to be replace with libcec2, and ./configure still on error.

I looked in the README.ubuntu file and found the command to have all depedencies:
Code:
sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc
This command don't work on a fresh install of kubuntu, it need libxvba-dev wich is on https://launchpad.net/~wsnipex/+archive/xbmc-xvba

I'm back to work and the process is on the "make" stage.
I hope now all will be fine. i'll see when i'll be home.




RE: crash when playing content with VDPAU enabled - un1versal - 2012-12-10

The only thing that needs to be changed on "my script" is instead of the master git for xbmc you replace git://github.com/xbmc/xbmc.git with git://github.com/FernetMenta/xbmc.git

You dont need to do anything else like sudo apt-get build-dep xbmc because those dependencies are already on the script and will install, if you dont screw with the script.

FYI the xvba ppa is using Fernetmenta's git exactly. SO whatever your problem is compiling is likely not going to help you.

In xbmc settings you need to disable vaapi and xvba acceleration and only use vdpau if vdpau is what your system needs e.g. its NVidia. I bet most of your problems are because your not configuring XBMC properly.
