It's under Video -> Playback
Play some movie with debugging turned on and post another xbmc.log
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

I did at some point. I'll get a fresh install on there with no updates and post a new log. I guess it wasn't so bright of me to be posting logs for the one I've tried (and failed) to get working for the majority of the day yesterday.

Open a terminal and type
Code:
sudo apt-get --reinstall install nvidia-current nvidia-settings libvdpau1
From that log there's nothing wrong with driver, you either upgraded to Gotham pre and you need to enable expert level on settings or you just not looking properly. Screenshots of your settings will tell.
Xorg edgers repo is a terrible idea for novices, it likely will break stuff. At best xswat ppa since only the nvidia drivers and a couple of packages upgraded from there.

I see it right there on screenshots VDPAU
The option Allow VDPAU hardware accelerations [x] <<<-THIS IS IT.
However disable the vaapi as its not used by your system.
You will not EVER get VDPAU to show in render method, doesnt exist. Render is one Thing Acceleration something else. As I explained disable vaapi and you already have VDPAU acceleration.
Now on your Bios you should alocate 512MB to video device.
On XBMC do this
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1220215
And your playback should be as good as your machine can handle.
Dont enable VDPAU studio level conversion, idk what its still doing in XBMC as its doesnt work at all, never did and I though it was removed.
Another not is Dont enable audio passthrough options like TrueHD and DTSHD (your ION cant do them) and if you have it connected to TV disable all of them, keep your audio channels to 2.0

Yay! It looks like disabling VAAPI worked. I've also allocated the memory (I think?) and it runs well enough. That other link seems to be missing some images that are necessary for configuration. Any idea what that was all about?

Ya, sort of. Imageplay.net is I think now a dead image hosting website, fantastic, this is the price of free, lost forever..
When playing a video bring up OSD and in video options set de-interlacing to auto or disable it. then save for all videos.
in xbmc
Render method autodetect.
Adjust refresh rate to match video ON
Sync playback to display ON
AV sync method set to DROP/DUPE audio
The xorg.conf is not absolutly necessary but you can try it. Screenshots would be ideal, but I dont have them anymore and atm cant get new ones to replace those.

I would ask you to mark this as solved, and when you have a higher post count you can always + my rep as is you wont be able to see the rep +/- button.
