Linux Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto)
remove your .xbmc directory and start fresh.

ahh, great.

Ok I will give that a go.
Thank you very much
Hi,

I tried updating from rc5 to rc6 like described in the second post but get the following error:
Setting up linux-headers-3.15.0-031500rc6-generic (3.15.0-031500rc6.201405211835) ...
Examining /etc/kernel/header_postinst.d.
Errors were encountered while processing:
linux-image-3.15.0-031500rc6-generic_3.15.0-031500rc6.201405211835_amd64.deb

EDIT: error was simply that I never removed all the previous kernels and didnt think that this would fill the 5G partition for the OS (w/o /home), I removed the directories I could find and had enugh space afterwards to install the new kernel
That's not the error.

Hi
I have noticed that an xbmc_crashlog-20140527_002445.log file was created in my system. I have been upgrade to 3.15rc6 kernel and to RC1 Gotham
In crash log it reports Segmentation fault .Any idea why this happened?

Log files:
------------

Last but not least while I have tried to use pastebinit to post the xbmc crash log the following error displayed and I had to do it manually. Any idea why utf-8 decoder crash and can not decode?

$cat xbmc_crashlog-20140527_002445.log | pastebinit

Hi,
yesterday i had some free time so i thought that upgrading perfectly working system would be great idea. Well...
Of course i missed the purging part mentioned in first post, so i broke it and now all videos are running at 2 fps. I did some digging, and repair is mentioned in page 183, followed that, and i have another problem. Duh

Im missing xserver-xorg-video-ati, but when i try to install it i get:

Code:
xserver-xorg-video-ati : Depends: xserver-xorg-video-glamoregl but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Im kinda linux BFU, and google is speechless this time, so please, if anyone can help me with this...

EDIT!!

I finally managed it by downgrading package libglamor0, and succeeding with installing xserver-xorg-video-ati. Aptitude ftw!

The vdpauinfo output does not match your installed version. Did you compile something from source and overwrote some files?

I was just trying to install/reinstall fglx driver with
Code:
sudo apt-get install fglrx fglrx-amdcccle
and
Code:
sudo sh ./amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64.run
Yeah - totally wrong in that howto. This is about Radeon OSS and has nothing to do with the binary blob.

Before I trying to play with fglx I have a problem with blu-ray video.
www.openelec.tv <- give that version a try from usb stick.

Ok. Thanks.
Hi all!
I'm trying to enable VDPAU on my HTPC (AMD E350 CPU) under Debian Wheezy + packages from debian testing & deb-multimedia. I used deb packages only, didn't compile kernel \ xbmc \ mesa drivers for now.

xserver-xorg-core 1.15.1
mesa 10.1.2
xbmc 12.3

XBMC settings set as recommended in first post.
As I understood from logs, vdpau driver is working and xbmc can create video output using vdpau. But I see 90-95% cpu load and 3-5 fps on screen. Maybe I need to add any configuration to xorg.conf?
How may I fix it and get vdpau working?
Please open a new thread. This is not about xbmc 12.3 at all.

Perhaps: Some more explanation. 12.3 use X11 Pixmaps and transfers them to output. Radeon is much too slow to do that. Use 13.1rc1 and it will be working much better.
