Hi!

I used the 22528 version some time now which worked very well.
Now after the big directx-merge and waiting for things to settle a bit I tried to compile a recent version from svn (r23699) and experienced some problems with VC-1 playback.

Tried different HD-films (BD-rips) like X-Men 1/2/3, Iron Man, Baraka, etc..

All with jumpy playback. Looks like people do 3 steps forward, then 1 back.

h264 coded films run perfect.

I use XBMC on an Zotac ION (so VDPAU is in use) with nvidia 185.18.36.

Can someone confirm that VC-1 is broken?
And do the devs know about this?

If no, I would open ticket.

Thanks,
Patrick

Is this the same issue?

I'm asking because of that post: http://www.xbmc.org/forum/showpost.php?p...stcount=57

The recent regression with vc1 content was due to the update to head ffmpeg. VC1 performance is still dismal with respect to previous ffmpeg vc1. TeamXBMC is aware of this.

[pat1975]

Sorry. Pulled and built.

built and pulled which ? you will need a make clean for this. r23717 will force a bootstrap/configure as configure.in was touched.

23718.

Did:
make clean
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-pulse
make

Like everytime :-)

Is it known which ffmpeg revision broke VC1? I haven't noticed any major changes to VC1 in months.

The 0.5 ffmpeg release that happened before 9.04 release. We reverted for that one too.

you are running vdpau

ERROR: ffmpeg[ABB35B90]: [vc1_vdpau] Incomplete extradata

That's a different problem now. Back to the drawing board.
