I am somewhat new to xbmc so I apologize if I seem out of line or anything in those regards.

My Current Setup:
# XBMCLive 9.11 B1
# Render Method: VDPAU
# Acer Aspire Revo AR3610-U9012 Intel Atom 330(1.60GHz) 2GB DDR2 160GB NVIDIA ION graphics

I recently installed XBMCLive and am having some issues playing back a video file. Here is the codec information for that file:

# Container: Matroska (.mkv)
# Codec: x264 @ Lvl 4.1
# Audio Channels: 5.1
# Framerate: 23.978
# Sample Rate: 48 Khz

(If anyone has information as to a way to provide a sample, I will give it a shot)

For some reason when I attempt to play this file back, I get this wild green screen flickering stuff. The audio plays fine but the video does not. Below is a picture of what I am experiencing.



What could be causing this? I booted into windows 7 on the same machine and attempted to play the same file in XBMC 9.11 B1 on the PC and was successful at playing it if that helps... Also, I was able to play another video successfully through xbmcLive which has these specs:

Technical Specs
---------------
Container...........: Matroska
Video Encoder.......: x264
Video Aspect Ratio..: 2.40:1 (1280x534)
Audio Codec.........: DTS
Audio BitRate.......: 1536 kbit/sec
Audio Channels......: 5.1 channels
DXVA compliant......: Yes

Thanks a bunch,
Anthony

XBMCLive 9.11 b1.

I have tried on other machines, and it plays fine everywhere else.

Kind of looks like the the Ted Talks plugin that has an issue with VDPAU, are you using that and have you tried turning it off for a test?

To clarify as I just re-read that and its not clear, are you using VDPAU as your render method? If so can you try using something else and see if it occurs.

Actually looks like it could be the same problem as this : http://www.xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=63362

Build 1? there is no Build 1. Looking at your log you probably have the r24886 build, since that was around the time when the beta was missing the build #.

[anthonyb1985]

Im not sure how to find the build number... Any ideas?

Under System Info it says: XBMC 9.11-BETA1 RUNKNOWN (COMPILED : NOVEMBER 23 2009)

I ended up turning off the VDPAU Render method and the file played fine. Thanks for the help!

[anthonyb1985]

I am now running build R26018

I also updated my drivers and still get the same result...

This was the method I used to install my drivers: http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=462...stcount=22

Any Ideas?

Did you set your video RAM to 512MB in the bios?

[anthonyb1985]

Yes the video RAM is set to 512mb.

Here is a example video file if it helps: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/93930/sample.mkv

My guess is unsupported video width, but regardless, please post a logfile

anthonyb1985,

Your sample is corrupted for me to, I see the resolution is 1024x556.

Software rendering is the way to go here im afraid
