Hi,
I had problems during the last days to get VDPAU working with my experimental XBMC packages in my launchpad PPA. I noticed that VDPAU could not be activated in a running XBMC instance as long as it was NOT built depending on the 195.xx driver (which to my understanding includes libvdpau 0.2)
The last XBMC karmic packages I built that worked fine with VDPAU were representing the trunk @ 254xx. The build was depending on the standard Karmic Nvidia libvdpau-dev package.
With my latest XBMC karmic packages representing trunk @ 26xxx I got the following message in the build log which seem to be related to ffmpeg:
Please upgrade to libvdpau >= 0.2 if you would like vdpau support.
In Lucid, libvdpau and libvdpau-dev will be packages independently from the Nvidia drivers [1], but for Karmic I guess we still need to stick with the vdpau-stuff as being part of the driver, I think that we now have a dependency of XBMC to Nvidia drivers 195.
Is this thinking in any way correct?
Cheers,
hepi
