Hi All

Fresh install of Camelot on Ubuntu 9.10 on an ION 330. I used the xbmc PPA to install. I also updated my nvidia drivers to 190 from 185.

Whenever I try an avi file, everything plays fine. However, I downloaded a few 720p mkv files to see if I could get 720p playback working. I made sure to set the video to use VDPAU. When I try the 720p movies, I always get either a black screen, or some garbage on the screen. The garbage is always static - ie, whatever appears on the screen when I start the video stays there. Audio works great. Here's the interesting part. If I let the mkv play a little while, and then stop the video, and then select the mkv again, I'll get the little popup that says "Resume from x:xx / Start at the beginning" - if I select "Resume from x:xx", when the video resumes it will sometimes work ok. If I select "Start from beginning", it will always give me the black screen.

Debug log attached. I've tried forum searches, but so far to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Weird, it looks like somehow the order of my posts got swapped? Oh well.

Anyhow, if I turn off desktop effects, everything plays liquid smooth. Is there a way to have desktop effects on and still get nice 720p playback?
