Okay, so I updated to the new Beta1 release of 9.11 on my Acer Aspire Revo and now my video doesn't play properly. I went into the playback settings and "VDPAU" is no longer an option under "Render Method". Is there a way I can downgrade back to Alpha2, or add VDPAU as an option?

Thanks,

I'm betting a debug log will tell you why.

I turned on debug logging, quit xbmc, deleted xbmc.log and started xbmc.

here is the debug log.. I can't see why VDPAU wouldnt be enabled..

Msan, did you try playing a movie while creating that log? I don't see it in there if you did.

No I didnt.. I will post one with that in a bit.. The issue is that I can't even select VDPAU in the settings screen.. it's not even an option..

r24896 isn't beta 1 for a start.

Looks like whoever built it didn't define HAVE_VDPAU.

A simple test is whether or not you have the VDPAU upscaling option available (same settings screen as render method).

Cheers,

Same here, using the beta 1 November 22 build from this PPA:

http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa ubuntu karmic main

My VDPAU option is gone in XBMC.

If anyone has the right deb and can share, that would be quite helpful.

EDIT: Strike that, apparently that's the right spot, just an error in the build. I'll hold out hope a fixed build will be posted soon, otherwise will roll back to alpha.

Thanks.

Just in case this takes a little bit, can someone give some quick instructions on how to roll back to a previous build?

Did you search?

sudo dpkg -i --refuse-all xbmc-common_9.04.3+svn22528-jaunty2_i386.deb xbmc_9.04.3+svn22528-jaunty2_i38
6.deb xbmc-skin-pm3-hd_9.04.3+svn22528-jaunty2_i386.deb xbmc-web-pm3_9.04.3+svn22528-jaunty2_i386.deb xbmc-eventclients-commo
n_9.04.3+svn22528-jaunty2_i386.deb

replace file names with the build you want to go back to...hopefully you haven't cleared out your apt cache.

I figured it would be useful for people here who have this problem. Thanks for posting the instructions!
