RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - deadite66 - 2014-01-18
Sadly i think i'm going to have to dump my Gigabyte e350 motherboard, everything UVD is working fine but having long running usb problems.
if i plug my 2 usb PCTV dvb-t2 devices in the kernel will throw up errors and won't work but they will if i plug them into a hub, even then i get random "submit of urb 0 failed (error=-27)" a few times a week.
i'll be on the lookout for a different (newer) AMD Fusion mini-itx mobo.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-01-18
Wait a bit. I expect some Celeron Haswell mini itx in about 4 weeks or earlier :-)
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - VanillaXtract - 2014-01-18
Once you posted that bit about pulse audio, I went to check my audio settings. It has been like this for awhile but I never bothered since everything worked. Both Audio output device and Passthrough output device are grayed out with HDA ATI, @@@ selected. Also, I still get 0.00 MHz for my CPU speed. Again, pass through works just fine, it just doesn't seem to be how it is supposed to be.
XBMC Logs
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-01-18
You don't have pulse running, so plain ALSA for you:
Quote:08:55:07 T:139923137996672 NOTICE: PulseAudio might not be running. Context was not created.
You also dont' need it for a htpc. The Mhz thing is a bug somewhere :-) But nothing that would kill you. File it on trac.

am i supposed to be running PA?
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-01-18
No. As many asked that, here two examples:
When would I want Pulseaudio:
- You use your xbmc computer mainly as your Desktop when you don't run xbmc
- You want other sounds like Skype, youtube, browser mail notification in parallel
- You use xbmc windowed as Desktop player
- You use Pulseaudio as a network sink to stream Audio to other devices in your living room
- Passthrough is nice to have for you, but to be honest - you don't really need it.
When would I want ALSA:
- You use xbmc as your standalone media center
- You are highly interested in bitperfect exclusive audio output
- DTS-HD, TrueHD is something you use daily and is of high importance
- You don't need other applications that would access audio in parallel
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - vmstek - 2014-01-18
What would be the proper update process? Something like this?
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
...then install the new kernel and reboot
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - VanillaXtract - 2014-01-18
You can update and upgrade at the same time
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgradeRE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - gfisher - 2014-01-18
Pulse pass through on spdif (via DIY coax to mb header) DTS and ac3 work as expected, so far. No white noise... Sound is amazing. Amp shows ac3/dts when switched. Xubuntu64 13.10 full desktop, only compositing disabled. Running xbmc from xfce desktop. Are there any tests you need? I can post on the pa thread if you prefer.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-01-18
@gfisher: Yes, I made it default for gotham - so can use some good press :-)
default in the sense of: It's used when you have PA
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-01-18
@vmstek:
Normal packages are updated as posted by VanillaXtract. The Kernel needs to be downloaded and installed as written in the howto. I update the second Post, whenever I change something.

Besides that: Install a mini iso Raring, do a release upgrade and continue.
I've given up on the former guide that I used to follow http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=141369 and tried this for the moment. Couldn't install Saucy due to the USB keyboard. Tried mini iso Raring. Everything fine until I hit GRUB installer, that doesn't work. Tries installing it with Lilo (I have no idea) and that installs but doesn't work when I've rebooted after installing. I used the one found here http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring/main/installer-amd64/current/images/netboot/ which seems a bit old.
I just have no idea how to even get the basics in place so I can get started on following the guide here. Any tips?
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-01-18
@Baitou: Install xubuntu (full Desktop), when it's installed join IRC, I will help you make it work for you.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - Baitou - 2014-01-18
Ok, thanks. Will take some time, have to download and create the USB installer.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - VanillaXtract - 2014-01-18
@Baitou I've done two HTPC with this guide. One didn't have a PS/2 port so I could use a USB keyboard. The other had one but luckily I had an old keyboard laying around. Can you borrow a keyboard or disable the PS/2? It'd be a lot easier.
