Hello everyone,

I'm an old XBMC user from when it first came out on the original XBOX.
But when the XBOX started having issues with the increasing video quality of shows, I swapped to the Popcorn C200 and then a Boxee Box.
However neither of them even came close to the feel of a XBMC media center.

So now I'm finally back a few years later and it feels like coming home

System Specs

I bought a Zotac Zbox AD12.

Chipset: A68M
CPU: AMD E2-1800 APU Platform (dual-core) (1.7 GHz)
Memory: 4GB DDR3-1333 SODIMM
GPU: AMD Radeon™ HD 7340
SSD: OCZ AGILITY 3 2.5" 60GB

OS: OpenELEC 2.0 (stable) - 2.0.0 Fusion x86_64


Issue

Only problem I've had so far is that some of my Anime episodes get distorted every other second (details from one of the files is listed below).
I'm suspecting that since the file uses [email protected] that could pose some problems with DXVA. But the playback is fluid and the cpu cores are barely doing anything.
So it would seem that DXVA is working (almost).

I'm really gratefull for any assistance regarding this issue.

Thank you.

this should already be enabled, but try this just to make sure:

while X is stopped!

Code:

sudo aticonfig --set-pcs-u32=MCIL,HWUVD_H264Level51Support,1

if it doesn't help, pastebin a debug log

Thank you wsnipex for your quick response.

I tried running the aticonfig command once X was shut down, but it didn't work.

No layout section was found in file: '/etc/X11/xorg.conf'.
Please run 'aticonfig --initial' first or modify your configuration file manually and run aticonfig again.
aticonfig: parsing the command-line failed.

I then activated debugging and did a quick testrun on the same episode i posted earlier.
And it came up with some interesting results at 18:27:09
