I added code to the view the decode capabilities of your card to the vdpau branch on svn.

Pull svn, configure/make, run xbmc and select vdpau as the renderer in video settings, and then open a h264 file... the card capabilities will be shown in the logfile. note that the current code only supports h264 and theres no fallback to GLSL rendering yet.
there is a possiblity to have VDPAU with XBMC ?
i have just recomplied mplayer for VDPAU, but with killa.sampla.x264 that crash.

Is there a procedure to integrate HW Acceleration with XBMC ?
nunu, are you serious?

Did you even read any of the last few pages of this thread that you are posting in?

sorry to be stupid !

i'am not friendly with linux and video stuff...

good job for XBMC, that rocks !!

Thank you for the great work on the vdpau-branch so far!

I have some questions though: Is it possible that the GPU is not fast enough to decode certain videos? I was trying to play a x264-encoded 1080p movie that spikes somewhere around 50MBit/s. The OSD doesn't show any dropped frames, but the video itself is choppy as if frames are being dropped (revision 17735). My GPU is a Geforce 8500GT with 512MB VRAM.
I noticed that in your screens the OSD reads "video: h264_vdpau". I only get "h264" (without the vpdau). Does that mean that it is using the wrong codec? CPU-load was about ~8% on both cores. Some parts from the logfile:

Code:
NOTICE: Using codec: H.264 / AVC / MPEG-4 AVC / MPEG-4 part 10 (VDPAU acceleration)

Use MediaInfo to fully quality your video content. If you see 5.1 profile, that might be your problem. From above, vdpau does not support h.264 5.1 profile.

configure is broke, need to make the changes to configure.in, then autoconf which then makes the proper configure.
Stupid question: In order to pull in the code from SVN can I do a pull from the top level branch or must I do something specific to choose the VDAPU branch? I am VERY interested in testing this out to say the least!! My thanks for the hard work put into this thus far.

PHP Code:
cd ~
svn co https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/branches/xbmc-vdpau xbmc-vdpau
cd xbmc-vpdau/XBMC
./configure
make 

I then suggest you do *not* run make install (for the moment at least), just type (in the ~/xbmc-vdpau/XBMC folder...

PHP Code:
./xbmc.bin 
thanks alot motd2k.

i'am discovering the linux world, and today i have understood some very basic things and i have regenerated the xbmc-vdpau. But i have a green green while playing a movie into xbmc windows. I have will try from scratch the xbmc-vdpau to be sure !!!


tkanks ...
Ah, gotcha'! This way it won't overwrite the more mainstream xbmc binaries - a good idea. I think that rather than test it on my girlfriend's box I will wait until I am home and can give it a shot. She REALLY enjoys the machine I built for her and breaking it would be "bad"! She has the same hardware as I do though so if it works well on mine I will know it's fine for her's.

Would you also suggest I build this in a different directory than I have the standard XBMC? That too would seem to make some sense so that I can keep both separate for now. Any ideas on when we might see this merged into the main trunk? IMO this is pretty exciting stuff!
