Linux crash when playing content with VDPAU enabled

git clone FM + git eden checkout + fluxbox window manager -- gives me excellent video on my GT240 on 12.04 standard installation with Nvidia 295 driver.

is there also a +pvr available?

my master and eden branch are based on pvr.

@FernetMenta
do you also have binaries available (just like dushmaniac)?

If i clone and complie your master i have the new vdpau if and pvr?
Perhaps you would be so kind to mention the steps involved in building this?

thanks!!

Well I don't know what changed. But I can now get to the terminal and I have not had any freezes upon resuming.

@basco The steps for compiling are in the readme. after you clone. Follow the readme.ubuntu then continue with readme.linux.

Got this also... remedied by adding the PPAs. Should I add the "unstable" PPA repository? Or does it matter?

Also note, you need to use "sudo make -j2".

In the home stretch, but have one more quesitons. The default XBMC directory seems to be "~/.xbmc"... If I want to keep all settings should I use the following:
$sudo make install DESTDIR=$HOME/.xbmc

Any advice appreciated!

Thanks!
Ken

There are binaries available now for testing:

Thank you!

NOTE: FernetMentas Master branch with vdpau support is currently only available here: ppa:wsnipex/xbmc-xvba-testing

In a terminal

Code:

sudo usermod -a -G root xbmc
sudo visudo

Then add the following line at the end of the file.
xbmc ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown, /sbin/reboot

Yeah I know, but for some weird reason this has never worked for me in XBMCbuntu for any command. Works fine in ubuntu...

Bit late, but just wanted to say I solved this problem in case someone comes across this in the future
Apparently you HAVE to use a seperate custom sudoers file in the included /etc/sudoers.d directory. Just put all the added lines in your own file, add it there and it works. Be careful not to have the same lines in both files, because sudo will fail to work and you won't have any root acces anymore (guess how I found that out ).
