How to Install XBMC PVR Xvba for AMD/Nvidia/Intel GPUs

Thank-you wsnipex!

Will try that! First to remove the gitsource version, is this just like rm -r ~/tvheadend ~/.hts/

if you already run from git, why do you want to change?

Because I cannot open 5 port streams

udp://@239.193.128.X:1234 works for me

but

udp://@X33.81.233.XX:X does not

I've been told that the pulse eight ppa has some extra fixes for this.

hmm it did not fix it. there is 1 more problem, xbmc is not able to connect to tvheadend. I've set the right login + pw. What can cause this problem?

The openelec xvba patches are our patches, just extracted and applied to another codebase.

Well,

i'm running Lubuntu over LXDE and the TEAR-FREE option in catalyst is enabled!

Ok, tonite i will try disabling it.
Then I will restore "refresh sync." function and then Enable Vsync..

let's see if this works!

i have installed my linux mint 12 box with this guide and it works awesome, but as always i got a little problem with my xbmc the sound and hdmi isnt working 100% after starting/stopping and changing the settings it works.
(Asus e-450 deluxe) Can i use step 2 with the new version from amd radeon (v 12) without uninstalling?

Will this be updated now when beta 3 is released.

I updated to eden-3, but it updated using the regular xbmc, not this Xvba build. Is there an eden-3 for xvba released? If not, how can I downgrade now to the eden-2 of xvba instead of the one I have from the regular xbmc unstable release?

The XvBA tree will be rebased on beta 3 probably somewhere soon in the future, but XvBA depends on the Opdenkamp PVR tree, so they'll follow suit once that switches.

Hello all,
Can I firstly just say a huge thank you to everyone involved for putting the time in to develop this build. It works brilliantly with my e450 based Acer Revo RL70. Without it, I would almost certainly be using Window$. Perish the thought!

While I have had success playing back Youtube videos from my iPhone 4S to XBMC via airplay, I have been unable to get music to play. I have previously had this working when using an Ubuntu 11.10 desktop distro and the Eden B2 ppa. I was able to play a song, switch the airplay speaker to 'Ubuntu', and XBMC would detect this and play the song with a graphic equalizer visualisation running in the background. All good. With the XBVA build, I see the option on the airplay menu on the iphone, I select and start playing the song, but nothing happens. It fails silently. There are no entries in the xbmc log files either.

@wsnipex I noticed back on post #75 you listed your compile options:

Quote:When I first started to build the packages, it wouldn't compile with libcec on launchpad, so I disabled it. I might look into it again, when I find time.

Here is the configure line:
--prefix=/usr --docdir=/usr/share/doc/xbmc \
--enable-xvba \
--disable-vdpau \
--disable-crystalhd \
--disable-vdadecoder \
--disable-vtbdecoder \
--disable-tegra \
--disable-profiling \
--enable-joystick \
--enable-xrandr \
--disable-ccache \
--enable-pulse \
--enable-rtmp \
--enable-ffmpeg-libvorbis \
--disable-mid \
--enable-hal \
--enable-avahi \
--enable-asap-codec \
--enable-webserver \
--enable-optical-drive \
--enable-texturepacker \
--enable-nfs \
--disable-libcec \
--enable-afpclient \
--disable-airtunes \
--disable-debug \
--enable-optimizations

Note '--disable-airtunes'

So, I am correct in thinking that airtunes is missing from this build? And if so, would it be possible re-enable it in future builds? Would love to have this feature.

As a workaround, I am currently using a standalone install of shairport, set up to run at startup. It works well, although it seems to require a reboot sometimes to get it working.

Thanks
Wookee
