RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-04-09
Lol.
xbmc builds internally on its own ffmpeg fork. You won't win anything when you install that external one. The bumped ffmpeg based version of fernetmenta brings a lot of improvements: VC-1 interlaced runs without artifacts in software, HEVC (h265) is accelerated multithreaded.

Ah gotcha... guess I showed my noob colors there
Thanks for the help!

did I miss something?
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-04-09
multithreaded I meant of course.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - wsnipex - 2014-04-09
oki, and more importantly - it actually works, while it doesn't with mainline
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - Ectholian - 2014-04-10
Little update on my side: almost everything is work now. It seemed my television (a panasonic one), with DUTCH menu, is calling overscan: beeldscan.... (something like imagescan). I totally overlooked that one
Funny thing left is if i switch to the high resolution console, i see a double login prompt (one on good position and one more to the right), like it is rendered twice
But hey, I almost never use that one only looks funny.

Hi,
I was running with both PPA's as described in the OP, but I want to keep my HTPC on a 'stable' version so I switched to
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/unstable/ubuntu saucy main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/wsnipex/mesa/ubuntu saucy main
and now it's worse.
Could you recommend me a mesa/xbmc PPA that works with radeon (as described in the OP) but is stable?
I usually can fix the problems (I check the dumps and update/restart xbmc or whatever) but I'm not a lot on my house lately and my family is having troubles with the HTPC.
Thanks
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-04-10
Wait for trusty. See the op.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - blm14 - 2014-04-10
Visited the first post in this thread after a long absence and noticed that the instructions have moved from raring to trusty. I am still running the old raring version and it is relatively stable. Is there any reason to erase and start over with trusty, or should I just wait until the release of gotham to sort of get back into the mainline distro? These changes are being included in gotham, right? Will I have to compile from source or just add an alternate PPA to get it? Thanks!
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - wsnipex - 2014-04-10
there are zero updates for raring since a few months. Its deprecated.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - blm14 - 2014-04-10
ok, so the question is, should I install this new trusty version or the beta of gotham? I think it was mentioned earlier that these changes are already in gotham, no?

Hi,
I've just checked Lubuntu 14.04 beta2.
Both my computer and my htpc are lubuntu as I need a real desktop.
Lubuntu 14.04 b2 comes with kernel 3.13.0, I guess it's quite useless.
What about the mini iso you are soggesting? Has it the same obsolete kernel?
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - -DDD- - 2014-04-10
Yes, but why don't you simply update it to 3.14?

Don't mix this up. Ubuntu has its own numbering 3.13.0-xx is rebased on 3.13.x. Last week this has been 3.13.8

Hi,
I've got a xbmc crash from time tot time when switching channels using vdpau for radeon.
I'm using OE 4.0, Is there any way to gather the xbmc crash logs?
I know it was not possible in 3.2,but a lot has changed under the hood of OE apparently.
system:
-AMD radeon 6350
-OE 4.0 nightly from 3 days ago
-vdpau video mixer and mpeg4 decoding enabled
