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

Is it possible that the xvba branch is incompatible with the dual audio patch? (perhaps you made some important changes to the files that get replaced by the audio patch?). Reason for asking is because I have problems compiling a build with both xvba support and the dual audio patch (see the link for more information).

You cannot just replace files, you need to merge or apply a patch. Then resolve conflicts if there are any.

I just tried to merge the files in git but I can't seem to get it to work. I guess all the 'merge' does is just replacing the files like I did earlier. What it should do (I guess..) is combining the files to a new file that has both the xvba and dual audio source code. But I can't figure out how to do that.

Edit:
I think I managed to get it to work. I used the patch file which can be found here to patch the xvba branch. While compiling it still gave some strange output (errors?) but everything seems to be working.
I'm still curious though if there is any other way to do what I want?

Hi, since a a few weeks I have some issues with my xbmc build --> xvba PVR from this thread.

The issue comes foward when I switch from a video file to another video file or when i switch from a music file to a video file.

After I've played a Video (codec does not matter) and make a quick switch to a new video I get a scrambled image on my screen and the system gets very slow. Everything start running through the screen (Live TV, previous Video en the "just started Video").

When I press STOP the system will go back to normal and I'am able to start the video normal (again). A reboot does not solve the problem (tried that many times)

Can someone help me with this issue?

Here's a crashlog from a fews week ago. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3523108/xbmc_cra...224758.log

Made a video of the issue http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3523108/2012-04-....45.40.mov

I'm having some issues with one TV show. Every other movie, show or live TV plays fine but this one gives strange artifacts while playing. This is the media info for the file:

And this is the xbmc.log (file starts playing at 15:08:26 )

I'm using fglrx 8.911.
All of the episodes from this particular TV show season have the same problem.[/code]

@Snippo:
Any chance to upload a short sample, that shows the issue. I looked at the codec info and xvba should get this working. With a sample I could look if stuff in xvba_h264.c gets mapped correctly.

I have the suspicion that the entropy_coding_mode_flag value does not get mapped failsafe enough, but can see this when the sample is loaded.

Here is a small sample. I just remembered that I had the same issue with a TV channel a few days back. Now all TV channels work fine again though.

@Snippo:

Can you join #xbmc-xvba? I tried the sample and do not see a single glitch.

Hmm strange. I think it might have to do with the dual-audio patch then. The audio patch also messed up the video playback menu. I'll try to compile a clean xvba build and see if I still have the problem.
This is what the sample looks like here: 1, 2.

I see that you have not stopped the playing video when you start a new one, right? Would this problem occur if you stopped the video first. Looks like the system is running out of resources.
