XBMC Ubuntu PPAs (precompiled PPA builds for Ubuntu)

Yes.

It's only available by svn.

In fact, it's enabled on jaunty and not on Intrepid and hardy.
This is because, the VDPAU dev library is not available on those ubuntu version.

@sitzm:
Thanks!! Worked perfectly and could install the latest version (which fixed a very annoying bug) with no problems! Smile

Hi all,

I noticed a missing dependancy with the PPA svn build 18943 for intrepid. It requires libavahi-client3 to be installed (while the former builds didn't) but there is no dependancy, resulting in the following error when loading xbmc:

/usr/share/xbmc/xbmc.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libavahi-client.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hope this helps!

Thank you Gurney,

I am fixing that. I am also trying to enable VDPAU on intrepid fo rthe next packages. We are using this PPA as a dependency PPA to be able to enable it on intrepid :

Salut wattazoum,

The dependancy for the VDPAU misses with the today's svn, resulting in the following error on my box:

/usr/share/xbmc/xbmc.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libvdpau.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Is it a must have, whatever graphic chipset you have? Or is it something that you need to install only if you have an nVidia graphic card?

Cheers !

@gurney: The truth is I was thinking that it wasn't necessary to install VDPAU for non NVidia card (since we do runtime detection). But the library is still needed to do the detection. This results into the XBMC binary requiring the library. We discussed yesterday this matter looking for a solution. The next package should solve this issue.

Anyway, I have tested that one can install the NVidia driver to solve this issue. The driver won't be used.

I don't know exactly when this happened but right now I'm on my knees praising the holy coders from xbmc- heaven for making it possible to update an entry without losing the seen-flag! Nod

Oh XBMC, I love you! Tongue
