I have just edited my post.

All fine so far - no idea.

I have find a solution but it looks ugly to me. If I run the script with the following code, xbmc will start on the second monitor:
#!/bin/bash
xbmc &
while [ -z "`wmctrl -l | grep \"XBMC Media Center\"`" ]
do
sleep 1
done
wmctrl -r "XBMC Media Center" -b add,fullscreen
wmctrl -r "XBMC Media Center" -b remove,fullscreen
wmctrl -r "XBMC Media Center" -b remove,maximized_vert
wmctrl -r "XBMC Media Center" -b remove,maximized_horz
wmctrl -r "XBMC Media Center" -e '0,-1,-1,800,600'
wmctrl -r "XBMC Media Center" -e '10,1920,0,-1,-1'
wmctrl -r "XBMC Media Center" -b add,fullscreen
I hope this will help to someone.
Furthermore, I have noticed that if I want to drag an louncher icon from the first monitor to the second, when I drop it, the icon flies back to the first monitor.

Hai, just a question, no problems with my xbmc runs very good atm.
I was looking for the changelogs for xbmc (* xbmc-fernetmenta-master) , didnt find them..
but i saw that there were new files in the PPA.
like :
xbmc-audioencoder-lame
xbmc-audioencoder-vorbis
xbmc-audioencoder-flac
ffmpeg-xbmc
Are these files needed, aka when do i need these files ( or not)
Is there Widevine support in the ffmpeg-xbmc?
and last question, im going in build in my tv card in my xbmc server,
is the xbmc-pvr-addons sufficient of do i need other packages also.
( i can get my tv card working outside xbmc )
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - wsnipex - 2014-08-20
the audio-encoder packages are only needed for cd-ripping in xbmc.
you don't need the ffmpeg-xbmc package, actually I just deleted it from the ppa.
for pvr, you will also need a backend, e.g. vdr.
lastly, the changelog is here https://launchpad.net/%7Ewsnipex/+archive/ubuntu/xbmc-fernetmenta-master/+sourcepub/4362003/+listing-archive-extra
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - akelsall - 2014-08-21
Hi.
I posted earlier on here about my success with this guide and I wanted to ask a question if I could please? I haven't done very well finding an answer.
I'm currently using SSH+SFTP to connect to my media library hosted on a CentOS server and I think I'd like to use NFS going by the comments elsewhere on this subject (I also have samba setup, but linux to linux I'd like to give nfs a go).
I notice that without installing samba at the OS level, XBMC can already see my existing samba share on that box and connect to it. Do I need to install nfs-common in order to access it via nfs or does xbmc support this itself?
I will try it tonight anyway, but thought someone might know. I'd prefer to keep my installation as small as possible.
I have refrained from starting a "smb vs sftp vs nfs" conversation here, but feel free IF you are replying to my question to mention your setup
Part of me just says, smb is running, smb works and has worked for me perfectly for 3 years and I should just use that! But the tinkerer in me wants to try something new
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - wsnipex - 2014-08-21
Kodi also supports NFS internally via libnfs, but the performance with a OS native mount is much better, because you can tune readsize and writesize to a much higher value (32k-64K) then the defaults.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - thctlo - 2014-08-21
thans wsnipex for you reply, that was all i needed.
Yesterday ( xbmc build of 15-8-2014 ) i noticed that my keyboard on my iphone wasnt working with xbmc. ( original xbmc app )
I saw the new update today, but im at work atm, so i'll test this again tonight.
If its still not working i'll report back with some logs.

Stay tuned, most likely until Sunday (that's the time the ppa needs to build after the original author will push a fix) or revert back to an older version.
Hi, I am still getting this bug with the final 13.2. In the meantime I have also updated to the 3.16.1 kernel:
vdpauinfo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8132148/
dmesg: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8132156/
xbmc.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8132163/
Xorg.0.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/8132170/
I am using tvheadend 3.9.
What should I do?
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - Hibbelharry - 2014-08-24
Good news and bad news:
I've just read that Christian König from AMD released UVD-Support Patches for older GPUs, see here http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2014-August/066738.html
As far as I can see this should make running XBMC at least on HD4xxx grade hardware (basically UVD2 and up) with VDPAU possible. Older hardware will be left out, since it is missing GL_Interop Support in Hardware, but might work in mplayer and alikes.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-08-25
That's really nice. From a short look you only need to rebuild the kernel and put the microcode into the correct folder.
Curious if that works - perhaps wsnipex can revive his old AMD system :-)
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-08-25
Quote:A small Mesa patch is needed as well, cause the older hardware doesn't support field based output of video frames. So unfortunately VDPAU/OpenGL interop won't work either.
Oh that's bad - xbmc won't work on that hardware then.

As far as I can see UVD2 grade Hardware might work, while UVD1 Hardware does surely not for xbmc. That would be at least HD4xxx Hardware including HD4200 IGP. I don't have any clue about HD3200 which is something more like UVD2 than UVD1 but not exactly UVD2... see here http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?20786-HD3200-and-UVD2-clarification&p=105648#post105648
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2014-08-25
If you have some of that hardware - give it a test and report back.
RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - Hibbelharry - 2014-08-25
I waited too short and threw that stuff away because there was no cure in sight I thought...
Some friends still have machines with HD4xxx Hardware, I'm sure we're getting results sooner or later
