VDADecoder failing
#1
Hi All. I've been having some issues with play x.264 files with the VDADecoder. Most of the time it works without any issues, but eventually it will fail and and fall back to the ffmpeg decoder. It's not this file in specific, it happens with a wide variety of files. Also some time when I hit play it starts playing in the small window rather then jumping to full screen. The only way around it is to quit XBMC and relaunch.

I'm running and MacMini3,1 (The first nvidia model) from 2009 running 10.6.3. I'm using XBMC 10.0 Darhma. It is connected to the server via GB Ethernet.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the log file from when the issues occurs.

Is there a way to leave debug on without the stats showing on the screen all the time?

ignore this, I figured it out. Can't figure out how to delete it.

Ok, here is a failure. I couldn't tell if it went back to ffmpeg instead of vdadecode, as it was stuck in the small black screen in the corner. no video content at all, just audio.

Any way it was a failure of some sort....
