RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-04-11
No single idea :-)
ssh in, set xbmc to debug, make it and provide the logfiles, please.
by doing: cat /storage/.xbmc/temp/xbmc.log | pastebinit
and dmesg | pastebinit
Edit: Also OE 4.0 is not yet out. Try with the .5 release or higher.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - eldrith - 2014-04-11
Hi,
i've installed xbmcbuntu with beta2 on my e350 (brazos) and done everything (i think) from howto to make it work.
Unfortunately it's not playing 1080p/720p fluently.
Previously i've had 12.2 with xvba and everyting worked perfectly.

RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-04-11
Please fix your alsa setup. Remove all /etc/asound.conf ~/.asoundrc and so on.
Furthermore, make sure your connected AVR really supports 6 channels. If you previously used passthrough, then you need to enable this separately with the new version. Set xbmc to Advanced Mode to do so.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - blm14 - 2014-04-11
I am sorry to keep asking this - will this code be included in gotham? I would like to get back into the standard code base, and am curious if/when VDPAU for radeon will end up in the main release. thanks

did you even read the 1st post?
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - blm14 - 2014-04-11
yes, I don't see the word gotham mentioned :-D
Although I see a thing to add the main XBMC repo as an option, so I am guessing that it's already there.
(hangs head sheepishly)
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-04-11
You can always ppa-purge a repository and add whatever is the current stable.

Hello,
It's a bug with mesa so you should install kernel 3.14 or try openelec
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - James7Bond007 - 2014-04-12
Fritsch (or anyone else who can answer) ... I just wanted to verify that my Radeon HD 4200 / RS880 is not compatible with the open source radeon driver's hardware acceleration features due to it only supporting UVD 2 (vs 2.2) ? I'm currently running the old proprietary fglrx driver w/ the no longer supported XBMC patches for xvba and wanted to switch over, but it looks like I might need to invest in a new video card? Thanks guys for all your hard work - it's greatly appreciated.

RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-04-12
@-DDD-, James7Bond007:
You need UVD 2.2 or higher: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Video_Decoder#UVD_enabled_GPUs which the 4200 does not have.
Try it anyways. Gotham has a multithread CPU option for video decoding, so this will be your only chance anyways in the future. You can enable it via acceleration

Hi,
lubuntu 14.04 b2 + instruction on page 1 of this thread (with some minor mods) = OK!

- See the new X xserver command in the upstart script which disables Backingstore (tearing) by default
- Custom kernel, custom mesa has been dropped, use ppa-purge to uninstall those repositories before upgrading
- The vdpau drivers are not in the libg3dvl2-mesa package anymore (remove it manually) and install the mesa-vdpau-drivers package
Edit: Make really sure you purge the ppas! ppa-purge ppa:wsnipex/mesa and ppa-purge ppa:wsnipex/test (if you have the latter)
I upgraded to trusty but it looks like the vdpau drivers aren't loaded right?
Code:
$ DISPLAY=:0 vdpauinfo
display: :0 screen: 0
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error creating VDPAU device: 1Code:
$ sudo apt-get install mesa-vdpau-drivers
Reading package lists... Done

mesa-vdpau-drivers is already the newest version.EDIT:
After wrestling with this for a bit I figured out that I was missing xserver-xorg-video-ati after the upgrade. Installing that fixed it.
Also, a bit off topic, but I had to modify the kernel source to add the hardware ID for my new harmony ultimate remote to the hci files to use it as a "PS3 BD Remote"
I'd love to know how we go about getting that added upstream to the kernel...
Thanks~
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-04-13
Nice, that it worked. Concerning the harmony ID, www.launchpad.net file a bug concerning the kernel and provide a patch.
Btw. if you build from source anyway, make sure you pick the 24p PLL and limit fix and the audio fix (which is not yet in 3.14.1).

RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - v8rumble - 2014-04-13
I tried installing the trusty mini install and I get this when it comes to choosing disks to install on.

Pressing continue gives me an indefinite blank screen. I'm installing from a USB stick.
