Macroblocking with new sandy bridge build, dxva2 enabled.

Seems more and more like this is a problem with the way XBMC decodes the video, rather than an intel driver issue.

The new Intel HD graphics came out today, here is the link....hope it resolves some if not all issues you may have.

Thanks, I'll give these a try when I get home tonight.

The drivers are the same as the ones Intel put out on their site a few weeks ago, sadly, they do not fix the issue Sad

Tried using the "new" drivers, and there was no change. Still experiencing the macro blocking.

Just finished setting up my mini ITX, i3-2100T HTPC build and I'm having the same macroblocking issue with XBMC. Seems to be XBMC specific as DXVA works perfectly with the latest nightly build of MPC-HC.

Software decoding works fine on MPC-HC, but I'd prefer to use DXVA to keep temps lower inside the case and the HTPC running quieter.

I refresh this thread a few times a day and search the forums daily for "sandy bridge" and load every nightly build of xbmc praying this problem gets solved.

all praise to the devs, but I can't believe how long it's taking when mpc hc is working and it's open source so I dunno why they can't just copy and paste the code Wink

this is my face when I enable dxva2

haha agreed. Just remember that in the scope of things its just tv and you can always shut it off and go for a drive or something lol.

they will fix it eventually, its too popular a platform to go on for too long. Get another tech hobby (I recommend solar power), and by the time it runs its course this will be fixed for you Wink

I ended up putting a GTX 260 graphics card in my sandybridge system for now since this has taken so long.

Hi,

same problem here with DVXA2. I have just build a brand new HTPC to be used with XBMC. I have intel i3 2100T core with intel on board graphics. Any idea about when this problem is going to be fixed?
