I'm currently using the fusion r7535 build and pretty much everything is working for me, I might have one video that fits your description of frames "jumping back and forward" but since this video plays fine with a similar openelec build for ion box I was thinking it might be more a catalyst driver issue for me.

I've tried both the r7517 and r7535, both have the issue. Here's and example of a file that has this issue, if anyone is interested. It plays fine in my patched XBMC build, but not in openelec.

can you try with r7555 (or later) again? this testfile works for me.

Thanks, glad to hear that it's working in the latest build. I won't be able to test it myself right now, but looking forward to test it when I get back home.

Check and see if /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_drv_video.so exists. I had the same problem last weekend and only fglrx_dri.so was present. I solved it by creating the proper symbolic links manually.

Sorry i'm noob

fglrx_drv_video.so doesn't exist only dummy_drv_video.so

Can you explain how to creating proper symbolic link manually?

I'm using this xvba package, make sure it is installed
http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/xvba-video/xvba-video_0.8.0-1_amd64.deb (the same as in the opening post)

And I've created a symbolic link to /usr/lib/va/drivers/fglrx_drv_video.so with the commands:

Quote:cd /usr/lib/dri; ln -s /usr/lib/va/drivers/fglrx_drv_video.so fglrx_drv_video.so

But since you only have dummy_drv_video.so make sure all the packages (libva, xvba, etc. see opening post) are installed correctly.

Thanks it's already worked by make symbolic link because i've found /usr/lib/va/drivers/fglrx_drv_video.so
