Nice, not really any change in there in comparison to the rc6, just rebased the three patches onto latest kernel git.

Please try the kernel from here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=174854&pid=1538987#pid1538987

I think the hardware (HD4290 (UVD2) with AMD Sempron 140) is not enough powerfull for this file. I will try with a AMD Athlon II X4 610e.

Today, I tried with an AMD Athlon II X2 245e.

I get the sound but no video (display is still on xbmc file view)
Is something wrong or just the hardware can't decode this file ?

@Dradge:

http://paste.ubuntu.com/6329519/ <- You don't have h264 / vc1 accel at all

I am not sure the HD4290 is the reason


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - Dradge - 2013-10-30

HD4290 is UVD2. Have you an idea why I don't have h264 /vc1 accel ?


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-10-30

Nope, sorry - I would have told it directly, but you are not missing any obvious packages.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - Dradge - 2013-10-30

Wanna ask #dri-devel people for that


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - dirtydesaster - 2013-10-30

i have also audio-drops @ 24p Sad

When I switch to 50/60Hz, I have no audio-drops...but no 24p :/

Does it matter whether 24p or 50Hz?


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-10-30

Watch some movies and see for yourself :-)

Best for you is, what you find best and works out for you.

Technically it makes a lot difference.

I asked radeon developpers and they are waiting to be allowed (by AMD ?) to release (work on ?) code for UVD2.

The recent rc7+ 0.1 kernel is too unstable for me. Same bugs as with the early rc6 versions.
Audio player crashes XBMC after 10min and screen disco.

Reverting back to rc6+ 0.7


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-10-31

Okay. Thanks for the logfiles.

The recent rc7+ 0.1 kernel...
xbmc seems to work, but I cannot use skype as the microphone device has disappeared!


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-10-31

Oibaf is now ready for Saucy.

If someone has time, please verify the howto to work completely on Saucy and I will change the relevant steps, that you will find out.

I am sadly notoriously short on time and cannot test this.
