Hello!

I'm using your latest pixmap build and all works perfectly (except some problems withe the scrapers), but yesterday I tried to install latest trunk git version (official, not your build) and the problem with crashes and autochange refresh rate enabled still exists...

My question is, when your fixes would be included into main trunk version (official version)?? Any patch or something?

Regards and very thanks for your work FernetMenta! Smile

There's still a lot of work ahead until I can submit something to mainline for review. I had to rework many things and my development branch is not very stable yet. Maybe in one or two weeks I will have something to test, still experimental Smile

If not too much trouble, could you change default palette of bitmap subtitles (idx/sub etc.) to white instead of current yellow in your fork?

I disagree. The colors are defined by the provider and most of the time there are more than one color for hearing impaired.

White for foreground dialog, yellow for background dialog ...etc.

Any update in pixmap branch?? Because with latest official git XBMC continues crashing when auto-refresh rate its enabled....

Regards.

I mean movie subtitles where is no colors defined. VobSubs with .avi or in .mkv...

My working branch is a big construction site at the moment. I will let you know when its worth testing. I have touched subtitles in order to put texture loading on an extra thread but have not looked yet into bitmaps.

I suffer from this as well a lot with Dharma and odk pre-eden packages on Ubuntu Natty

From what i understood, the xrandr refresh rate switch is causing a pre-emption error in nvidia driver, which should restart the vdpau decoder - but xbmc crashes for this error as it cant handle it.

Your approach is now
a) to reduce the likelyhood that the preemption error happens
b) re-init vdpau decoder on pre-emption error

Confused

Sorry i just know enough to be dangerous - i'm likely wrong in anything written above - but i would like to understand Smile

The problem is the interoperation with OpenGL. The OpenGL pipeline is asnyc, and has textures mapped to resources from hardware decoder. Now if an error occurs like display preemption, you have to make sure that the OpenGL pipeline is empty and there are no references to invalid resources.

The approach is:
- look in advance if a change of refresh rate will happen
- stop player and clear opengl pipeline
- clear down vdpau (or other hw decoder)
- allow change of refresh rate
- wait until it has happened
- start player and reinit decoder

Ok thx - looking forward to test it as soon as you say its ok - so take your time and let us know (please) when you think its worth testing.
