Thanks! I'll give this a try this evening after work.

Was already OK but made again... and stop at "load settings".
I tried to change log level to 5 but there's no more information in xbmc.log.
I continue to search...

@all with the "crash on stop" problem. Wsnipex has built mesa 10.0.4 packages with that patch backported in his "test" ppa. Please give it a try.

Edit: Currently still building: https://launchpad.net/~wsnipex/+archive/test/+build/5848787

@wsnipex: Thank you very much.

Spending hours to solve a problem can be good for knowledge but I'm too old (and I've already spent few hours). Partial reinstall, purging and ppa-purging lot of things and....

IT WORKS ! And it works perfectly ! No more under/overscan problems, no more CPU at 50%, no more DTS-HD software decoding : ALL WORKS and my Atom D525 is cold Smile Nothing to do to have DTS-HD working : it's ok natively. My Artic MC001 is alive !

Thank you for your patience.

PS : Just one curious thing : I had to select "Intel SPDIF" to have ATI HDMI out selected. I have an audio out called "ATI @@@" but it doesn't work.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - wsnipex - 2014-03-25

don't worry about the audio device name. Thats quite normal.

Hi,
as I was trying to play a good old avi file, I noticed a "blinking black block" inside the movie. Furthermore it did not scale to the full size of my TV panel. That never happened before with any HD or higher quality SD content.

Seems like an ffmpeg problem: ERROR: ffmpeg[7888F700]: [mpeg2video] Invalid frame dimensions 0x0.

xbmc.log

Although I can remember that I watched the movie without any trouble some month ago. Or did I use a wrong setting? If required, I can provide a sample. Thanks in advance for any help.

PS: Waiting for the new mesa buil to try out the patch against the stop bug :-)

@MTroi: Check Expert Setting Mpeg-4 VDPAU and disable that one for a test.
Edit: Mpeg-2 of course

That's funny, because I just disabled mpeg-4 and the "blinking blocks" are gone. If just disable mpeg-2, they are back.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-03-25

You played different files. In your log, some where mpeg-2 others were mpeg-4. In short: Disable the one that does not work :-)

Will be fixed tomorrow. Real life has priority and good sleep is important.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - locomot1f - 2014-03-25

g'nite.

Hi,
when testing, I've found that the file
H.264-444-10bit-sample.mkv doesn't work anymore.
I'm running the latest updates that I can get via the update manager.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-03-25

Thanks for the logfiles! highly appreciated ... man, how often do I need to tell that?

Edit: Can reproduce. Quite greenish this hi10p. I assume this is an ffmpeg regression: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/55728161/H.264-444-10bit-sample.mkv

I just pulled and built the mesa master and installed. Fired up xbmc and no more stop bug using vdpau; looks like this patch works a treat. Thanks a bunch to everyone involved!
