Code:

git clone git://github.com/FernetMenta/xbmc.git

Will get me your mainline, yes?

in answer to my own question: yes, it will. Smile

Although 1080p h264 Hi10p files are still stuttering badly using your build on my revo 3700...

I think Hi10p does not make use of vdpau.

Ugh this is such a nightmare. Multicore FFMPEG doesn't work with XBMC, Hi10p profile doesn't take advantage of VDPAU, every uPNP solution I've tried that does transcoding doesn't support embedded subtitles. Grrrrrrr, is it time to actually upgrade my hardware? Sad

well if this thread comes up in someone's search in the future, I have official word from NVIDIA that they have no future plans to support Hi10P decoding in hardware, on any platform. So that's the end of that Sad

It would be very good to have multithreading support, especially for those people who have a good multi-core CPU but a poor GPU (and obviously I'm one of them) Undecided

I just saw the most recent post on the website about 1080p Hi10p:

Quote: Users are reporting that 720p video appears to be at least workable on your lower level CPUs, but any expectations for silky smooth playback on something like the NVIDIA ION platform will almost certainly be met with disappointment. With that said, if you are currently running a fairly powerful machine, XBMC is finally ready to play your anime.

Boo!!!! Does this not speak to the importance of getting multi-core FFMPEG to work with XBMC? VDPAU does not (an nvidia claims they have no plans to) support Hi10p decoding in GPU, and it seems a huge waste to be only using one core of two and one thread of four that my CPU has to offer. I watch my video struggle at 8FPS while top shows 100% utilization on one core and zero on the other three Sad
