DXVA and CUDA

Hi all,

is it possible for XBMC to use CUDA instead DXVA

In Windows with an NVIDIA card DXVA2 uses CUDA.

If you're asking can XBMC for Windows be configured to use the CUDA API directly the answer is no. The point of DXVA is that it's supposed to provide a hardware independant API for things like acceleration. Without it we'd end up having to support every vendor specific acceleration API.

Are you experiencing problems with hardware acceleration?

can i use a banana instead of an orange?

dxva is for video bitstream acceleration, cuda is for gpgpu programming. yes, some have written cuda based decoders, but it's a completely different beast.

Hi JR

Thanks for the answer, yes I meant to ask if XBMC for Windows be configured to use the CUDA API directly.

I When I seek movie forward or backward the screen have lot of white squares
and after 3 sec it come back to normal.

also, My thinking was if XBMC can use directly the CUDA API, maybe the performance will be better.

Thanks again.

dsplayer + lavcuvid is what you want.

As Malexx said using DSPlayer you can use CoreAVC or LAV CUVID but even using DXVA with DSPlayer via a directshow filter it would probably solve your seek problems I use it and have no seek problems unless I switch back to DVDPlayer using DXVA

DSPlayer Rev 553d719 is essentially the same as Dharma

Hi all,

Yes, there is many media player support CUDA (directly) , I just think its pity XBMC not one of them, while most of (if not all) the media player can do.
