Before anyone complains that this is a duplicate feature request, please note that there are several other threads relating to AMD xvba support; however, none of them correctly identify VAAPI as the API to target.
Now that Intel, ATI/AMD, Nvidia and VIA hardware all support the VA-API standard, I would like to suggest adding VA-API support to XBMC to allow for ubiquitous linux HD Decode support.
See the related Phoronix Article indicating that VA-API support for ATI and Nvidia cards has now been released.
Here are that patches that add VA-API support to FFMPEG.
Support Ticket #7590 added to Trac.
