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

bilbonvidia Wrote:sudo apt-get install -y ia32-libs

I could not get this to work at all, installed multiarch ver, does that matter?

I did download manually but no idea how to install it.

Currently installing xbmc.......

if you run 32bit, you don't need ia32-libs

I experienced this temporary, edgy flickering even before i used XVBA. Is there a common solution to this problem?

VC-1 should be fine.

Could you make an external screenshot <- hehe, meaning with your mobile phone cam or another device?

Installed and running. Had some major odd things happen, like total slow down, and st st st st sst st tuttering of audio. Had to reboot / disabled enabled xvba now it seems to be good.

Played some stuff and it seems to be in sync what are the recommended playback settings?

Currently,

render auto

use xvba shared surfaces
adjust display to match video
syncplayback to display
a/v sync method audio clock

??


Another thing, noticed some video seems darker than it was, and some a bit too vivid if you know what I mean?? Overall quality does seem better.

I think on when I was on windows it was linked to limited / full colour spaces?
How to change this?

Great work, thank you! Next to try the deinterlacing on tv.

... edit still have black borders after this:
sudo aticonfig --set-pcs-val=MCIL,DigitalHDTVDefaultUnderscan,0

Haha, this is going to be a tough task because it's only appearing from time to time for a short duration.

But I'll see what i can do.

you have to do this while X is shut down.

for av-sync method: Video Clock (Drop/Dupe if you are using passthrough, with analog audio Resample should work too)

Thanks, the borders are gone now.

With regards to tvheadend, do I need to get rid of the hts-tvheadend and install a specific version, if so how?

edit I have done so now from pulse eight.

Hello
Will Asrock E350M1 work with this driver and with DVB-S card? I'm afraid not because non-HD cgannels are mainly in mpeg2 which seems to be not supported. Is CPU of this board capable of software decoding sd channels in mpeg2? I can't find this information.

Yes it can. No Problem with SD channels anyway, these can be done on the CPU. Also mpeg-2 HD-Channels do work, with High(er) CPU Usage.

In the bright future, but not so clear future, all this will be done on the gpu :-)

Is it posible to add the spotify add-on from https://github.com/akezeke/spotyxbmc2 to the https://launchpad.net/~wsnipex/+archive/xbmc-xvba

I really would like to use spotify on my XBMC.
