Not as far as I know, I'm just silently following FernetMenta's git repository.
https://github.com/FernetMenta/xbmc/commits/xvba
I'd like to give it a try but unfortunately it is missing the PVR part. But that will be merged sooner or later..

I will post more info on this soon (1-2 weeks).

Thnx. for the info. Are those improvements for XVBA or is this rewrite of rendering bypassing VAAPI?
Edit: @Fernetmetta: Thanks. Will wait....

Sweet, can't wait to see how this unfolds F.M. In the meantime is there anything that can be done as a crutch to prevent the random crashes ( aside from not using XBMC for about 2 weeks
)? Like I said before this machine also houses my RAID 5 which has been taking a beating from all the hard resets. Ive been fortunate I haven't had any data problems as of yet...Hmm come to think of it ( to answer my own question) I have a spare computer with NVIDIA gfx that I could use in the meantime...Its loud but should be stable till an appropriate fix arises. Those involved thanks for all your hard work !
Ubuntu 11.10 and xbmc - Boyz - 2011-11-17 15:22
Hi guys,
i installed yesterday ubuntu 11.10 x64, and followd the guide from MTroi.
Everything went fine.
I started xbmc, and tried to play a 1080p video with vaapi enabled, it is still shuttering!
And then with 24hz mode whole xbmc freeze and i had to reboot my machine.
Then i compiled xbmc from source but same error, without vaapi everything playing well but very slow.
Before Ubuntu i used Debian squeeze with VA API version 0.31, there i could watch all 1080p video at 60hz with enabled vaapi, without any trouble, only issue was 24hz.
This really sucks!
regards
Boyz

@idtjes3:
Could you retry to install fglrx version 11.11? And recheck if this bug still occurs?
- idtjes3 - 2011-11-17 16:59
Hi fritsch,
Im still an Ubuntu noob so please bare with me. To be honest I thought I installed the 11.11 driver to begin with. I ran this code from MToris tutorial:
Code:
cd ~/; mkdir catalyst11.11; cd catalyst11.11/
wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-11-11-x86.x86_64.run
chmod +x ati-driver-installer-11-11-x86.x86_64.run
sudo sh ./ati-driver-installer-11-11-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/oneiric
sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.debIn those lines it specifies the 11.11. Again, not sure why it would install 11.10 instead. When I get home tonight I'll attempt to uninstall and purge my current driver then try to run the above code again and see if it gives me version 11.11 this time. Is there another way I should be installing the fglrx driver if this doesn't work again? Thanks for your help !

This should in deed work. What does:
Code:
sudo dpkg -l |grep fglrxtell?
- wsnipex - 2011-11-17 18:06
did you also run
Code:
sudo amdconfig --initial
or
sudo aticonfig --initial- idtjes3 - 2011-11-17 18:26
@ fritsch: I will post those results tonight
@ wsnipex: Yes, I believe MTori had that in his guide. I basically ran what he did step by step on my machine.
