I'm having problems playing certain avi/divx files... XBMC crashes entirely.

dmesg
XBMC Debug
Xorg
vdpauinfo
dpkg

Thanks, let me know if any more info is needed.

[fritsch]

Thanks for this feedback, we found the cause and have fixed it already (yesterday). Did you upgrade xbmc this morning?

Fix is here: https://github.com/FernetMenta/xbmc/comm...d977148081

[acandido]

You're right, I didn't update this morning. All working now, thanks

@acandido: If you can and have a machine != E450 and != E350 please provide some qvdpautest benchmarks. If you need help to get them, just join #xbmc-xvba

@fritsch
Does MIXER TEMPORAL_SPATIAL mean advanced deinterlacing for 1080i via GPU? OP says BOB. I am running an nv610 on an a4 3400. Would luv to ditch it. PQ is priority. Thx for the hard work on this one.

[fritsch]

If you compare the numbers you will see that the values stay constant, so qvdpautest fakes here.

But temp / spat is currently in progress and will hit vdpau oss soon, here are two images for you:

Find the better one.

[-DDD-]

A is the better one

[fritsch]

You have qualified for the next round :-)

Z has less jaggie's look at the buildings on left above door line. Yuk! 8).
Edit. Y has the jaggies. So A is better!

Hi guys,

Identical issue here as reported by locomot1f, only happening in XBMC GUI:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/wxij5f2fdy4p5j....43.56.mp4

Also I still have the no-sound issue!
Followed the steps from first post one on one. What on earth could be wrong??
Please note, I have now updated to kernel 3.12 rc3 since the dropbox 3.11.1 didn't enable audio in dmesg, 3.12 does.

3.12-rc3 needs you to enable HDMI audio explicitely with xrandr, therefore I ported all the stuff back to 3.11.

Code:

xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set audio auto

should make audio working on 3.12-rc3. This -rc3 does not have the HD-Audio patches and it misses the cea mode fixes. Concerning your visual artifacts, could you remove the radeon.dpm=1 from the kernel command line and retry?

Also post your xorg.conf and try to add: Option "EXAPixmaps" "off"

Next try to set: XAA acceleration in xorg.conf
