I just installed a NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS video card in my ubuntu machine running 12.04. I have installed the nvidia drivers and it seems as if I have installed libvdpau. But I do not have the option in selecting that as a render method. The only options I have are Auto detect, Software, Advanced shaders (GLSL), and Basic shaders (ARB). I do have the option Allow hardware acceleration (VDPAU) checked. I currently use the Advanced shaders option. 1080p video isn't as smooth as it should be. I'm not sure what to do
Here is my xbmc.log: http://pastebin.com/bVYpZVYy
This screenshot shows that all 4 cores of my CPU are being utilized quite a bit, and it also looks like the video CPU isn't being utilized fully: http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/1926/...t001ht.png
EDIT: I have installed XBMC by adding the repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa and running sudo apt-get install xbmc, if that helps
