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

@surfziggy:
For the 12.6 installation we created a howto. Linked on the first page.

Concerning your issue 1) Which settings do you currently have enabled?

For a really great playback, we suggest to enable "Adjust Refresh Rate to match video" _and_ "Sync Playback to Display".

Having "Sync Playback to Display" enabled without "Adjust Refresh Rate to match video" is foobar for every video != current refresh rate.

Hi,

Could you please confirm xbmc-xvba has been built without VDPAU support ? I'm currently testing this version in of my system but i can see in XBMC settings the VDPAU option available...which songs strange!

I can't check my other system right now (running xbmc-xvba-eden) but i'm pretty sure VDPAU is not shown in setting screen.

My testing system is running the good version:
sudo dpkg -l grep xvmc
ii xbmc 2:12.0~git20120727.1343-268d6a0-0precise XBMC Media Center PVR Xvba Edition (arch-independent data package)
ii xbmc-bin 2:12.0~git20120727.1343-268d6a0-0precise XBMC Media Center PVR Xvba Edition (binary data package)

I deactivated it and quickly tested HD movies, everything seems to works fine.

Thks!

I cannot confirm. We also build vdpau support in the testing and therefore xbmc-xvba branches.
Eden was indeed built without vdpau support and it was AMD only.

Ok :-) Tks for your answer, that's clear now, and logical.
Just wanted to understand.

I have a problem when I enable both "Adjust display refresh rate to math video" and "Sync playback to display" with video clock (drop/dupe audio). I suffer from audio lag of approx. 125ms. When I disable "Adjust display refresh rate to math video" the lag is gone.

What could cause this, my tv.

My setup is as follows HTPC --> HDMI --> reciever (Yahama rx-v371) --> TV (samsung le37a656)

@Redfoox:
Which version of the ppa are you using? Can you provide a log? This sounds as a pulseaudio issue, but it can also be that your TV does special things for 24p. In this case you can tweak the advancedsettings.xml.

For my TV (Samsung), I use the following audio offset settings:
<video>
<latency>
<delay>0</delay>
<refresh>
<min>23</min>
<max>25</max>
<delay>100</delay>
</refresh>
<refresh>
<rate>50</rate>
<delay>25</delay>
</refresh>
</latency>
</video>

@fritsch:
I am using wsnipex-xvba-testing

Here's my log http://pastebin.com/N5q2JpFs

Oke so for different video types you have different audio delays. You added this in advancedsettings.xml?

@Redfoox:
yes.

@fritsch:
Oke I will look into that since that is probably the case.

Thanks

If the delays differ from time to time, please remove pulseaudio and libasound2-plugins.
