I've built XBMC/Gotham from source on x86_64, with VDPAU enabled

Code:
    ./configure \

    ...

    --enable-vdpau \

    ...

        ------------------------

          XBMC Configuration:

        ------------------------

          git Rev.:     20131030-f4c95ab

          ...

          VDPAU:        Yes

          ...

          prefix:       /usr/local/xbmc

        ------------------------

    make

        -----------------------

        XBMC built successfully

        -----------------------

    make install

XBMC launches OK.

Video playback is OK if either (1) no HW accel, or (2) VAAPI is selected.

If VDPAU is selected, no video's displayed during playback -- just blank. This is in both windowed and fullscreen mode.

Deinterlacing is OFF.

This is KDE4. Toggling Desktop Effects on/off, and restarting XBMC has no effect. STill blank.

fritsch in #irc linked a sample file, had me play it back, and capture a DEBUG log: http://pastebin.com/McX5X9Fy

After a lot of help tracking down the debug infom, ran out of ideas in irc:

[15:19] <fritsch> i sadly have no idea
[15:19] <fritsch> the log does not tell anything

and asked me to post in here.

Any ideas as to what the problem is?

Did you specify any other flags to configure?

jenl · (This post was last modified: 2013-12-07, 01:59 by jenl.)

Yes, my usual build is:

Code:
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/ssl/lib64 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/ssl/lib64 -lssl -lcrypto -L/usr/local/mariadb/lib64 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/mariadb/lib64 -lmysqlclient -L/usr/local/lib64 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib64 -lmicrohttpd -lpcre -lpcrecpp"

export LIBS="-lssl -lcrypto -lmysqlclient -lmicrohttpd -lpcre -lpcrecpp -lrtmp"

export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/ssl/include -I/usr/local/mariadb/include/mysql -I/usr/local/mariadb/include/mysql/.."

export MYSQL_CONFIG="/usr/local/mariadb/bin/mysql_config"

export CFLAGS="-I/usr/lib64/dbus-1.0/include -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/samba-4.0"

export CPPFLAGS=${CFLAGS}

export LD="/usr/bin/ld"

./bootstrap

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/xbmc --libdir=/usr/local/xbmc/lib64 --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-debug --enable-optimizations --with-gnu-ld  --enable-udev --disable-hal --disable-libusb --disable-airplay --disable-airtunes  --enable-ffmpeg-libvorbis --enable-gl --disable-gles --enable-sdl --enable-vdpau --disable-vaapi --enable-dvdcss --enable-libbluray  --enable-nfs --enable-samba  --disable-afpclient  --enable-upnp  --disable-avahi --enable-alsa --disable-pulse --enable-mysql --enable-mid --enable-rtmp  --enable-webserver  --enable-optical-drive  --enable-non-free --with-lirc-device=/var/run/lirc/lircd  --enable-external-ffmpeg

which results in config of

yet!

**fritsch** · 2013-12-07, 01:58

Remove this: --enable-external-ffmpeg

Ok, working on it now.

fwiw, here

same build, but without

Code:
--enable-external-ffmpeg

completes without error.

with the resulting, internal-ffmpeg build of XBMC, the problem is resolved.

VDPAU-enabled playback is visible, and xbmc-cpu usage has dropped from ~18% to <1%.

**wsnipex** · 2013-12-07, 09:09

this is exactly the reason why we DO NOT support external ffmpeg/libav.

The most probably is that have the same problem as jenl but in my case I install XBMC Gotham from multimedia repository of Debian.

How I should remove external-ffmpeg?

Can I remove external-ffmpeg without reinstall XBMC?

Please help me I'm newy on both (XBMC and Linux)

**wsnipex** · 2013-12-24, 14:45

you can't, you must recompile xbmc from source. Or just install ubuntu and use our PPAs.

Disable vaapi on compile as well --disable-vaapi and dont enable this in xbmc if your using vdpau.

esbrinartot · 2013-12-24, 15:47

No thks. I don't want to use Ubuntu. As I can use xbmc without vdpau I think that I will wait until Debian repository is updated. If problem persist in next updates then i will compile xbmc with checkinstall.

Thks for quick reply and assistance. There should be more places like yours.

Thanks for the information. I will report the bug there.
