nemek Wrote:If some one is interested below is my custom xbmc-live ubuntu 10.10 x64 build (done using xbmc-live sdk). Its contains patched xbmc 10 compiled with vaapi enabled and all needed libs (ie libva, xvba-video etc) + latest catalyst 11.3 + mplayer-vaapi (for testing). Its confirmed to work with almost all hd movies (HP@L4.1 / AP@L3 max - xvba limitation) on ati cards (probably uvd2 is required - ie hd 4xxx)
xbmc-10.0-live-amd.part1.rar
xbmc-10.0-live-amd.part2.rar
xbmc-10.0-live-amd.part3.rar
xbmc-10.0-live-amd.part4.rar
maybe total noob question but i dl these files and have an iso. i put the iso on usb, do i have to boot with usb now? and do i have to uninstall all xbmc files i have now? i still have choppy playback and need those vaapi files...

weird.... couldnt quote..
ok, i have a newb question.
i dled the rars from nemek and got in iso. i have no idea what to do with it though... tried to 'burn' to usb and booted, but didnt do anything.
also, do i have to uninstall any previous versions/files of xbmc before installing the nemek version?
thanks!

use LiLi http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=89848 or unetbootin to export the iso onto the usb
plug the usb and press whatever key is required to choose a 1 time boot.
you should be able to install then

1 major issue I am having
i'm using nemeks iso also as I'm a linux noob and when i try to install i get an error during the process saying it cannot find a file on the cd.
i cannot continue past that point
i can boot from the usb into live with no issues.
@ vincent.. i tried to reply but got a message saying an admin had to approve it
you can use lili or unetbootin to export the iso onto ur usb correctly
then press whatever key is required on you board for a 1 time boot

how did you get the iso working on usb?

that weirds.. i replied to your message as well and got a message saying an admin had to approve it
to mount the iso use lili http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=89848 or unetbootin to export the iso onto a usb.
plug it in and boot.. press whatever key is needed to allow a 1 time boot and boot from usb then

iso works but i built my own one, thanks to him i got my xbmc patched and it works fine so far.
Only problem i have i the missing support for higher bitrate HD movies caused by the L4.1 limitation.
-> waiting for the next xvba version.

Bitrate has nothing to do with the profile. All Blu ray movies are encoded in 4.0 or 4.1, even 40Mbps ones.

for some reason the iso i put on the usb (through unetbootin) will not boot. i changed boot priority and everything, but i just get a blinking cursor on the upperleft of the screen and thats it. tried different ports but no succes. does anyone have a tip?
the board is an MSI E350IA=E45
hmm, no luck on my XPS15 either, so it must be the stick...
ok, i might be a complete noob but i did the following:
i opened the usb stick on my dell xps in vista and could open wubi.exe which made me install ubuntu on my vista installation. everything worked fine, but there was no xbmc.
what did i do wrong? im about to rewrite the iso to usb and try again...
another edit
i think it might be a problem with the usb stick.. it worked by putting the iso on a cd. unfortunately i dont have cd drive in my e350 system
will be continued
