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

I Created a new livecd. libnfs has been added, as well the amdconfig line to enable hd 5.1 sound. Should be enabled at default during runtime. Here's the download:

not sound, h264 high@level 5.1
i.e. the infamous killa sample plays now without artifacts.

Installed on my Acer Revo RL70 - enabled XVBA and tested on full 1080p Avatar MKV. Had some flickering across screen during video playback which I cured by enabling Vertical Blank Sync duing video playback. Audio working.

Only issue is that Airplay does not work in either v1 or v2 release, shows up on idevices but nothing happens on XBMC end.

Thanks for the hard work.

Airplay packages aren't available on wsnipex ppa. That why Airplay isn't working at the moment.

libshairport for precise is in the standard ubuntu repos. I can't test that myself, but it should work.

Hi there! First thanx vor merging the new Audio enhancements in to this branch.
But now there is a problem. My HiFi Reciver is capable of DTS-HD and True-HD, but when playing movies with DTS-HD I experience slowdowns and stuttering (with no sound). Disabling DTS-HD Capabilty in System Settings removes this stuttering and the movies playback fine.
Anyone else ran in this problem?
I don't have a clue if this is an AE problem or maybe caused by this branch. I think the AE branch had been well tested befor reintegration into official trunk.

Anyway I can help U with deeper invastigation of this problem?

Huge props to wsnipex!!! How do I give him reps?? This instructional is amazing! Exactly what I needed. I had to tweak it to make my perfect minimal install, but this gave me the perfect starting point to do exactly what I wanted. Thank you so much!

hey guys
i have a little trouble with my xbmc
my configuration is:
Ubuntu Linux 12.04
Linux 3.2.0-26-generic on x86_64
AMD E-350 Processor, 2 cores
XBMC Eden 11

so the system works perfect after startup. i wached a HD movie -> no problems
i powered off my TV and let the xbmc run. (i always let it rum)
tomorrow morning i powered on the TV, but now i had a blackscreen and one of the CPU cores had 100%
nothing happend if i pushed a button. only the xbmc freezes! but not the ubuntu. i can still connect and wach the status with "htop"
now i have to reboot, than it works again for a while. how longe i can't say.

this problem i had a lot of times and i don't know whats wrong!
has anyone of you the same problem or can someone help me please?

@Janosh: thats a ati driver limitation. fglrx only provides 2 audio channels :/

@virus: sounds like the infamous asic hang in the ati driver. You could try to upgrade fglrx and also install the latest xbmc testing package.

i need to know the command or the steps to update the ati drivers please
