And how do i go about and do that "injection"?

I would like to get this VDPAU branch working in an XBMC Live.
Can somebody tell me, of guide me to a link, as to how i get this bracnh into the xbmc live?

Thanks.


Follow the guide Olympia wrote in the XBMC Live section, the only difference you need to do is,
- install the latest nvidia driver
- checkout/build the vdpau branch
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-pulse
make
make install

with vdpau , no need for the -j2 anymore

What does the --disable-pulse do...as far as functionality? I am going to hook my xbmc machine straight to my tv, do I need to disable it?

This is a quote from Olympia's guide, so If your tv can't decode the audio, then you don't have to disable pulseaudio

Quote:Since you will use this PC only as a media center. I therefor assume that you use digital audio pass-through (S/PDIF or HDMI) to a receiver/amplifier with built-in Dolby Digital (AC3) decoder, and hence I choose NOT to install the dependency libraries for PulseAudio and compile XBMC later without PulseAudio support.

Hello,

I got a problem playing mkv and other movie-files.
They play for a few seconds and then XBMC crashes. Any ideas?

Please forgive me my bad english(I'm from Germany)

You'll need to post logfiles, please read this... http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=34655


- liquidolze - 2009-03-03 01:02

Sorry motd2k,

AMD X2 6000+ 2 GB RAM
XBMC pre-9.04 SVN 18184M
Kernel 2.6.28-7
Debian Lenny
NVidia 8400GS with Driver 180.35

No Log because I told you wrong. Not XBMC crashes only the movie stops playing.

System Info says there are 107 KB free memory of total 900 ??

The logfile will still exist... if you launched as i said (on page 1) it will be in the XBMC folder... if not, it will be in /var/tmp


- liquidolze - 2009-03-03 01:45
