I wonder why xbmc chooses to use VDPAU at all when the codec isnt supported by VDPAU? In the log it clearly states what coceds the local VDPAU implementation supports...

Code:
22:17:16 T:140409124682000 M:7458537472  NOTICE: VDPAU Decoder capabilities:
22:17:16 T:140409124682000 M:7458537472  NOTICE: name          level macbs width height

22:17:16 T:140409124682000 M:7458537472  NOTICE: VC1_SIMPLE        1  8190  2048  2048
22:17:16 T:140409124682000 M:7458537472  NOTICE: VC1_MAIN          2  8190  2048  2048
22:17:16 T:140409124682000 M:7458537472  NOTICE: VC1_ADVANCED      4  8190  2048  2048

Why does it choose VDPAU when it identifies the codec as

Code:
NOTICE: CDVDVideoCodecFFmpeg::Open() Using codec: MPEG-4 part 2 (VDPAU)


As I said before, I have no problems playing hd-content and xvid-content with VDPAU and software respectivly with mplayer, using a commandline like this:

mplayer -vo vdpau, -vc ffh264vdpau,ffvc1vdpau, -ao alsa:device=iec958 -ac hwdts,hwac3, -fs "$1"


EDIT:

Searched wikipedia a bit for feature-sets, and looking at those tables and the output from my log regarding VDPAU capabillities, I have a feature set B card. I have a G92 GF9800GT.

We just forget to check for mpeg4, it's on my todo list. But the decoder still accepts it as supported.

Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

How about disable this vdpau h263 codec by default until fixed?
