I'm not sure if this is a bug or if this is something wrong with the version this build is based on but the default skin is missing backgrounds.

I copied the version from an older mainline xbmc build into my new version and now it seems to work...i will try to show a sceeenshot of this error in a bit

Playing the following Lip Sync test while having "Deinterlace" on Auto or Enabled results in bad Audio Sync Values (> 1000% error) therefore Audio and Video are not in Sync anymore.

Disabling "Deinterlace" makes it stable again.

This is an issue on latest frodo and also on openelec 2.0 rc2

Happens at random times, watching random movies. This is using the latest (as of this moment) xbmc-xvba from the PPA, on an AMD A4 Fusion, Ubuntu 11.10, fglrx 11.11. Shared surfaces was initially enabled, I disabled this later on, crashes persisted.

Meaningfull part of xbmc crashlog at http://pastebin.com/XYeKiPcb

Having Sync Playback to Display turned on with method Drop/Dup Audio cause glitches during playback of movies with True-HD or DTS-HD Audio, when receiver || graphics card do not support those formats and Audio Engine does a AC3 encode.

In Audio Settings choose:
DTS: check
AC3: check

everything else unchecked.

In Video Settings choose:
Adjust Refresh Rate to match Video
Sync Playback to Display Video Clock (Drop / Dup Audio)

This error happens on AMD and on vdpau nvidia Systems with a similar setup. Turning of Sync Playback to Display or setting Sync to Audio Clock makes those glitches unhearable.

xbmc.log tells something like this:
http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=7200 (Done on StrangeNoises System)

This issue is reported here in order to find out if it is an AE issue or some too hard constraings of the RefClock.
I will add a complete debug log later.

So I tester again the code on master this morning. First time it started, I got the video correctly on TV via tvheadend in the small windows, but going full screen gave me only black screen. Hitting escape I was correctly returning on the channel selection and has back the TV stream in the small windows.

After a while it crashed

I restarted, this time I managed to get the full screen TV display. I just noticed the OSD was not correctly resized when it was at first run. Once started it played correctly.

I think there might still be an issue with pixel perfect alignment of VDPAU textures of fields to display pixels in OpenGL.
Remember the issue of the inverted stipple weave pattern? I verified the pattern by writing lines to the frame in software render mode.
The difference here is that in software render mode, the texture is a whole frame and not a single field as in VDPAU mode. If the texture is a whole frame, at the original size setting each texel has a 1:1 mapping to a display pixel (ignoring the horizontal axis). If the texture is a field there is a 1:2 mapping to display pixels.
Positioning of the GL_QUAD to which the texture is to be rendered is critical where glTexParameterf GL_LINEAR is used. GL_LINEAR will render the weighted average of the 4 texels nearest to the centre of each display pixel. Where there is a 1:1 mapping of texels to pixels each pixel sits precisely on a texel and will thus be rendered the value of only that texel. When there is a 1:2 mapping each pixel sits at the edge of a texel. This means the pixel is rendered with the weighted average of the texel the pixel sits on and the neighboring texel it shares its border with. When this happens the display is no longer pixel perfect.
I have built some test code that performs field rendering with stipple weave and I can confirm that the top field GL_QUAD must be positioned a half pixel above and the bottom field a half pixel below in order to place each pixel squarely in the middle of the texel it is to be rendered from. XBMC does not do this so I suspect picture quality is compromised with the current method of rendering single field texures.
I don't know how I can get some test lines into VDPAU fields to investigate this further within XBMC.

The summary doesn't really do it justice, this is a bit complicated.

Firstly, everything was fine under nvidia driver 302.17; but ubuntu ppa x-swat-updates updated their nvidia-current this morning to 304.37 so i got it then.

XBMC currently defaults to 50Hz. If I play 50Hz material (generally off-air or live tv (yes i got that working)) it's all fine.

If I play a movie at 23.976, this happens:

The refresh rate of the tv switches. xmbc-xrandr reports the changed refresh rate, ie:

DISPLAY=:0 /usr/local/lib/xbmc/xbmc-xrandr | grep 'current="true"'
<mode id="0x1e9" name="1920x1080" w="1920" h="1080" hz="23.97576" current="true" preferred="false"/>

But I'm experiencing a lot of missed frames and jerky playback. Looking at the CodecInfo, Frame rate fluctuates as low as 18. refresh:50, lots of missed frames. As per the first screenshot:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1791046/nvidia-304-37-issue-1.png

Things to look at: fps:low fluctuating figure. In the S() section to the right, refresh:50 and an ever-increasing missed: figure.

Similar symptoms when trying to play a 29.97 interlaced video. It does actually switch mode according to xbmc_xrandr. So, during playback:

DISPLAY=:0 /usr/local/lib/xbmc/xbmc-xrandr | grep 'current="true"'
<mode id="0x1eb" name="1920x1080" w="1920" h="1080" hz="59.93939" current="true" preferred="false"/>

It doesn't look so bad but only because the high enough frame rate masks it a bit for the human eye, but it still shows refres:50, a fluctuating fps: figure. Not many missed: frames this time, but drop: increments as playback goes on.

as seen: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1791046/nvidia-304-37-issue-2.png

Full XBMC log during this session:

http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=6720

I've been hearing other people cite upgrading to this nvidia driver to solve certain other problems, so i'm wondering if this issue may be particular to the vdpau work in this branch?

it's curious that all i can see in the logs of it apparently going wrong during playback is a lot of: "CDVDPlayerAudio:: Discontinuity" errors. It's odd, because it actually sounds fine, and it's the picture that's obviously jerky; but i guess there's audio synchronisation issues going on.

NB: Setting the refresh rate in settings first and then playing a movie doesn't help. It does really appear to be going to that refresh rate (eg: gui animations not as smooth in 23.976Hz) ; it just isn't working right when it's there.

BTW, all the above was with the setting enabled to Sync playback to display, and A/V sync method, Video clock (drop/dupe audio).

PS: Turning off Sync playback to display seems to make the problem go away. :-) I don't know if that means "leave it off then" or "we need to fix that sync playback to display behaviour"

The fact that that S() section (which, now it's missing, I presume stands for Sync) had "refresh:50" presumably means the code that's doing the syncing still thought the refresh rate was 50, even though it's not. Which does look like the bug. :-)

Commit 9d75fb9a49e7def4eeb9b93f4ca23c5571504ba7 (xvba: decoder, fix deadlock) did not fully fix the issue.

here are 2 threaddumps:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/743062
http://paste.ubuntu.com/743070/

steps to reproduce:

1. Play a video
2. Stop
3. Play same video again
   repeat step 2 and 3 until deadlock occurs
   it does not always crash, sometimes only the picture flickers. Furthermore "start from beginning" is not honored, it will instead silently use resume from last point.

I can reproduce the problem fairly well with this video:

nothing special shows up in any other log.

this is with an E350 Fusion (Radeon HD 6310)

I tried all deinterlacing properties including vdpau-bob but is loose frame at more than 10s. Current opdenkamp git build play fine with same system setup. Updated nvidia driver to 302.17.

Hi,

All this was tested on OE20 branch.

I have big problems with playing one of 1080i HDTV channels. I could not reproduce this on other 1080i channels I have. You can find this channel on HotBird 13E satellite. It is called Supertennis HD, 11,096,000 kHz Horizontal.

The playback itself starts without problem, but after some time artifacts show up. It looks like the signal on satellite would be bad, but this isn't the case. I was playing the same channel on ION system at the same time and it worked flawless. I tried with de-interlace setting On or Off and it didn't make any difference.

I created around 15 minute long recording for test. if you start playback of this recording you will get artifacts after some time (it was 4 minutes for me). So please start playback from the beginning. You will also see that playback is not really smooth on this recording, which is kind of strange as it plays nice as Live channel. And recording itself also plays fine on ION system.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/57341262/OE/Video_samples/ATP_500_Pechino._Finale_%28live%29.mkv

Using this build, I find that commit: 8c7822a0eeebff235750703210502516758fa76a broke xbmc refresh rate detection in my config.
It always detects 50Hz
I wrote a test program to manually query the refresh via XRRConfigCurrentRate() and find that indeed it always returns 50. I guess its a know limitation in nvidia by the fact there has been workarounds in place?

Best method to solve for me is documented beow

-Deinterlacing screws up the top and bottom and flickers allot.

-Setting "Video scaling method" to auto results in CRAPPY fps and choppy playback.
The video is 25fps, so it should be playing 50fps or 25fps, not whatever it's doing here:
http://i.imgur.com/1cWFw.jpg

Cannot provide samples as .vob plays perfect.
This can only be replicated by using a dvd, so I am assuming .vob is played as video, while .iso and dvd is played as dvd. Thus being treated totally different.

occasionally while being in the middle of playing a video(~12mins in it), the screen goes black, audio keeps playing. From that point on nothing seems to help to get the picture back. I tried: toggle window/fullscreen, play something non-xvba, restart xbmc, Always black screen with audio playing. Xvba is dropping output

For some stupid reason I lost the log from when it in started midstream :/
This is from after the xbmc restart,, when the problem continues:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/916407/

hope it helps somehow, will try to reproduce.

The fix is simple and available here

otzy007@2b2b6e0

removed my git tree, did a clone this morning, no modification applied. Tv stream is 1080i50

Test with TV default settings by nvidia driver: 1280x720@60 Hz.

1. When I switch to full screen, the stream is correctly shown for 1s, then I get a grey fix frame for 5s, then I see the pause stream popup status on the upper right left conner. After a while (>10s) live stream starts again without intervention. Using the O key I see the drivers believes the TV is already at 50Hz and I get corrupted playing due to wrong computation for display adjustment.

Test with TV at 50 Hz:

2. Using Krandrtray, DynamicTwinView to false: Without rebooting (stopped XBMC, switched to 50Hz using Krandrtray as If I set DynamicTwinView To False I cannot use nvidia settings anymore) It behaves normally (no fix grey frame, no pause status). but I think it is not really at 50 Mhz in the end and video playing is broken (same display as when it was at 60).

3. DynamicTwinView to true, using nvidia settings (had too restart kde): same behavior as on the 60 hz case above. Nvidia settings barks about 50 Hz config and set up a 52 config!

4. With my patch to get nvidia refresh rate: same as 1) or 3) but at least get correct display!

I can play TV for hours but if I start XBMC and do nothing, it freeze hard. Even kill -9 does nothing. I can log remotely, but have no way to get access to the screen again. Must reboot. Tvheadend is running and works on another machine.

Between Jan 18 and Feb 22 the vnsi connect behaviour changed.

My Ubuntu 11.10 boots several services in parallel and sometimes it happens that xbmc starts before vdr has fully finished initialising in the background.

Before (Jan 28 git):
xbmc throws "no pvr backends are available" in the bottom right corner upon startup
2s seconds later it displays the message "pvr manager has been enabled with no active clients, please correct your setting" and opens the addon window.
If I now just press "back" the vnsi gets deactivated and activated again (uneducated guess!) and it instantly connects to vdr and loads the EPG. LiveTV is working now for the rest of the session.

Now (Feb 22 git):
1: xbmc throws "no pvr backends are available" in the bottom right corner upon startup - nothing else.
If I now navigate to TV and try to open it: Goto 1.
If I now navigate to Radio and and try to open it. Goto 1.

vdr is ready in the background - I know because can stream to my laptop. the only way to "revive" vnsi is to manually navigate to the addon manager, really disable vnsi addon, and enable it back again.
Then it scans epg and is ready instantly.

If vnsi would really try to reconnect to the backend (if I try to open live tv), it would be perfect. but now, it stays disabled without any chance to get automatically re-enabled.

Occasionally the picture is flickering when playing a video.

This only happens with the following settings:
Adjust display refresh rate to match video: ON
Use shared surfaces: ON

Workaround: toggle between window and fullscreen mode. This always seems to fix the flickering.

The issue has also been confirmed by fritsch,

Hi,

I have openelec-pvr which uses XBMC-pvr with ffmpeg and VDPAU patches from your branch. I have a lot of problem lately with XBMC hangs when I change between channels. This mostly happens when I am watching one channels for longer time and then start switching to other channels.

You can find log on this location http://gujs.openelec.tv/temp/logs/2012.08.06/xbmc.log
XBMC hangs at the end of the log when I switch to SLO-TV2 channel. Just search this in log to get to the start of channel switch:
PVRManager - PerformChannelSwitch - switching to channel 'SLO-TV2'

It is happens during listening to the music from samba server when Opengl Spectrum plugin is active.
XBMC freezes, after a few minutes but mp3 music is playing until track will end.
From SSH console "killall -9 xbmc.bin" not working but usually does.
Only "reboot" can help.

Platform. Asrock H61M-itx + G530 + Radeon HD5450. PVR, xvdr plugin.

Hi Rainer
I'm not sure if you are aware that the stipple weave pattern for your Master branch is still inverted.

1. CEC adapter no work
2. sometimes xbmc crashed when switching channels

Installing xbmc xvba per the instructions online I found video severely scrumbled , or just snow, if hardware acceleration was enabled. It is a PCIe card in an AMD motherboard connected with HDMI cable to a 55 inch LED TV.

I am using Ubuntu Server 64 installed to a mdadm Raid5 drive.

I met fritsch in IRC and we worked thru the problem but could not fix it.

If the overlay was enable by hitting "i" or "o" the picture was perfect.

I have disabled acceleration and everything is fine with software decoding.

My logs as I presented them to fritsch are the following:

http://paste.ubuntu.com/809021/ (xbmc.log)
http://paste.ubuntu.com/809015/ (lshw.log)
http://paste.ubuntu.com/809017/ (Xorg.0.log)
http://paste.ubuntu.com/808886/ (dmesg)

fritsch was a GREAT help, I appreciate all the time he spent helping me troubleshoot the problem.

Thanks,
Sam Nickerson

Mostly pasted from the offtopic post to the forum yesterday. :-) NB: This is now repeated with the version just now updated from https://launchpad.net/~wsnipex/+archive/xbmc-xvba-testing - which internally shows to be 12.0-ALPHA3 GIT:Unknown) but which apt reports as:

Version: 2:12.0~git20120708.2243-c6fc742-0precise

Issue is with auto-switching of refresh rates: Some videos for which the refresh rate should be changed, do not trigger that refresh rate change until after a few seconds of playback. The pattern I've been able to find so far is that this only seems to affect videos marked as having a variable frame rate.

(Handbrake uses a variable frame rate as part of its High Profile preset; and has done for at least a couple of years. Even if the frame rate isn't actually going to vary.)

Thing is, at least according to mediainfo, a headline refresh rate is provided anyway, so surely even if it is marked as variable, it should start with the given frame rate as a starting presumption? I think older versions - in particular up to 11.0 eden - did do this as I'm only starting to see this problem now. I had been seeing it on only one fairly old encode before, where that headline frame rate was actually listed (oddly) as 24.998fps; whereas most PAL-type videos show exactly 25.000fps. So even on eden that video started, then changed refresh rate (actually just back to the same one as it's the closest). But with the new build, it's doing it for all such variable-frame-rate recordings.

After that initial refresh rate change, playback continues normally for the duration. It's just that it seems to be waiting to see if it really needs to change refresh rate for such videos. Obviously this is pretty disruptive to the viewing experience.

edit: context:

System is Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit installed on 2010 mac mini server connected by HDMI to a Panasonic Viera TV.

The only deviations from the Ubuntu standard packages are the ppas: ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates (for nvidia 302.17) and wsnipex-xbmc-xvba-testing (for this build of xbmc)

Everything's up to date.

XBMC log of session is here: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=4704

The relevant part (where the refresh rate changes) is at lines 320-331.

Hi,

While the player is now quite stable, the visual result is quite disappointing for HD TV. First the deintelace quality is very very bad (whatever the rendering option or the xvba settings are) (moving vertical lines) and second, I have almost permanently (except for portion of video that do not contains moving scene) a line on the screen where the lines pixel seem to be not at the right place by a few pixel offset. You distinctly see the line as soon as you have a moving scene. The location on the screen of this line is not fix allthough the move is not really visible.

Git of today.

I'm on a HD 2400 radeon mobile, with fglrx 11.12 on a mostly fresh full 32-bit ubuntu 11.10 install, and latest xbmc with xbva from the xbva-repo. I run unity2d which is supposedly completely non compositing.

On playback of clips with xvba acceleration i get flickering where every second frame seems to be white, and every other is the actual video. I can even pause playback on a white frame. The white frames are the same size as the scaled videoplayback, and doesnt affect any gui overlay (as seen here: http://db.tt/26PCumHN - note that the video playbacked is scaled to 1280x720, laptop monitor is 1280x800 i.e black non-flickering borders, because of the fps the camera doesn't capture the flickering right, literary every second frame is white and every other is the "right" one. also note that the flickering stops at the same time playback pauses when cpu is throttled when doing things in gui)

xbmc is run with a fresh settings directory (i.e. wiped), with the following settings activated/manually set

• render method auto detect
• allow xvba enabled
• shared surfaces enabled
• sync playback to display enabled
• sync method videoclock
• tried with both adjust display refresh rate to match video enabled and disabled, same thing
• debug logging enabled

when playing clips with no xvba acceleration there is no flickering.

hi fernetmenta,

i've added this same isue to openelec git but i think it is more related to your code:

since beta 4 i have problems playing my video files on my ad02 (fusion builds). generally it is working but always on third playing attempt. is there any explaination for this behave?

http://paste.ubuntu.com/1085137/

On videos with variable fps it takes a few seconds for it to notice what refresh rate it should use, so it changes the refresh rate after a few seconds are played.

Edit: This seems like a duplicate report of #52

I have updated xbmc from https://launchpad.net/~wsnipex/+archive/xbmc-xvba 25.3.2012 (yesterday's build) and I'm getting static from mp3 playback, and no music at all only hiss sound. Previous build worked perfectly. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10.

Was just exiting this build for the first time so I could log a clean session to report another issue. Selecting exit caused xbmc to hang solid using 100% CPU as per top shown below. No output in xbmc.log since before the attempt to exit.

Killing the offending xbmc.bin process seemed to cause it to respawn, starting a new session but now unresponsive to keyboard input.

hi,

i'm trying to use vdr 1.7.26 on the latest openelec developer builds. i'm able to start livetv but after a second zap i'm getting signal lost message from the xvdr plugin after the picture appear for a second or two.
tvheadend is working fine.

and second observation i've made is that when i disable xvba acceleration in xbmc settings my livetv mode is working fine.

before i was contacting pipelka and he advise me to come here because it could be xvba related problem.

This bug is not new, but I switched to vnsi recently (coming from xvdr) and hope that the chances are better now to pin it down.

It happens to me (in most cases) that, if you "power down" xbmc while watching TV with vnsi / vdr, xbmc deadlocks during shutdown partly (looks like a freeze from couch point of view), but xbmc is still pinging the vnsi client and logs this.

Please see this log:
http://paste.ubuntu.com/816313/

If you scroll down to 10:01, you can see that xbmc is being told to shutdown via remote (LIRC - Event "OnQuit").
xbmc tries to shut down everything but fails with vnsi somehow.

From the couch you notice that the sound stops and the tv freezes, but thats it.
This is reproducable most of the time (but ONLY if vnsi is actively used while you shut it down).

If you press stop and then poweroff, the issue is not happening.

EDIT: Current git (xvba branch - Jan 24)

first invocation of xbmc after reboot fails with segfault. The next and any further invocation works:
ERROR: InitRenderSystem() glewInit returned 1: Missing GL version

Hi,

I raised an issue for OpenElec and wonder if you could look at it (and I think you were the author of the changes I mention):
OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv#1310.
For easier maintanance I'm pasting the content of that submission below.

In official builds, starting with 1.95.4, playing videos in the windowed mode results sooner or later in tiny but annoying stuttering every second or so.

When this happens, this is what can be observed in the log:
21:26:52 T:140196977940224 DEBUG: CDVDPlayerVideo::CalcDropRequirement - dropped in decoder, Sleeptime: -0.008150, Bufferlevel: 4, Gain: 0.119000
21:26:52 T:140196977940224 WARNING: CRenderManager::WaitForBuffer - timeout waiting for buffer

I am using TVGuide plugin along with some live tv streams for watching TV. TVGuide in order to display OSD info, plays videos in the windowed mode. If the same video is played in the full screen mode (i.e. xbmc.player() is called with "windowed" set to false), video is played smoothly, as it should (but no OSD is available in such case). Another message appears in a log in such situation but apparently it is harmless, as video looks completely normal:
00:01:34 T:140391688558336 DEBUG: OutputPicture - dropped in output

I spent some time on tracking down the issue and it looks like it was introduced in this commit: "xbmc-pvr: update XVBA patch, add VDPAU rework patch" OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv@bf56620

A one-commit older build, OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv@9bd8635 works without a trace of this symptom.

I have tried all newer official builds, including building Frodo versions - all of them behaves in the same way on my system. Older ones, up to that commit mentioned above, work fine.

I have tried many different video playback settings, e.g. disabling VAAPI, but this did not change the behavior.

My setup:
Intel HD (SandyBridge) in Celeron G530
OpenElec Intel-x64, PVR, VAAPI enabled

When starting to play a dvb-t stream using xvdr I see an initial image, there is a buffering process which lasts about 10 seconds and then there is a frame skipping for a second or two until it settles down.
At the end it plays the video just fine but there is no sound.

Tested with 12081.

Sometimes when booting, and always when stopping video's the screen fills with these blue-ish stripes.

I am running your latest xvba commits on OpenELEC.

Hi
Im use latest version pvr - with merged your branch.

sometime when im chenage channels .. (video setting Auto ION - Optimized - upscaling methood Auto)
dont choose very well, i dont know why ... but video is not smoothly played, sometime like be slow down, in other time
channel logo is jagged :( then only help manual change upscaler methood or deinterlace

I`m to use some long time VDR-SXFE (on my ION system) and there alwayes picture have sharpnes (include logo, edges etc.) dont slow down :)

I think nice will be separate settings for SD channels and HD .. (special deinterlace).
or possibility setup statick setting for HD and SD (static)

many useful information how all configure im find here ...
http://wbreu.htpc-forum.de/vdpaukompendium/index.php

and please look to on this
http://pastebin.com/

maybe something new, or useful you find.
Any way i see big progress ... and finly i can use all day XBMC :) Thanks for your good work

Fglrx 9.0.0 will be released in some days. This release changes some stuff (e.g. breaks it) concerning the UVD handling heavily. In order to differ between bugs in our software and errors within the new UVD implementation, i want to gather some information here.

It seems that "new" libamdxvba does clean up surfaces itself now and feels rather insulted, if we do it manually - as we do it, since it was needed sinc fglrx 11.11.

Debug Log with unpatched code:
http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=8539

From the xvba-sdk doku (which was not true, the last 10 months):
Notes:
If XVBADestroyDecode() is called to destroy a decode session and it will automatically release all
resources owned session. There is no need to call an XVBADestroyDecodeBuffers or
XVBADestroySurface() separately before releasing the entire session.
Similar for XV BADestroyContext() all allocated resourc es will be releas ed; no need to c all XVBA
destroy functions separately.
Application can us e this function to release decode buffers without destroying the s ession.

You see it crashes within XVBADestroyDecodeBuffers () with a segfault after LostDevice.

This error can be fixed easily, by simply not doing XVBADestroyDecodeBuffers () - let's discuss if this is a valid solution (and backwards compatible).

After fixing this segfault, we produce another segfault in the middle of threading, after switching back to the XVBA::COutput::Process, it crashes really hard.

http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=8541

reported this on #xbmc-linux ; fritsch suggested reporting here as it's your branch i'm on.

Basically most if not all times i run xbmc straight from boot, and try to navigate to a section, eg: Movies->Title, XBMC segfaults.

xbmc.log: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=5480
crash log: http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=5481

fritsch reckoned it might be here: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/xbmc/utils/JobManager.cpp#L255 where m_jobQueue[priority] might be null on entry to this function and that isn't being checked for. What I in my Java world would call a NullPointerException. But he said report it here so we can test and then you'd push the fix upstream...

... it may be time to check out the source myself for this sort of thing rather than use the ppa... Java's my native programming language, haven't done C++ for, omg, 15 years; but hey, i wanted a change... ;-) Workday right now but i'll get on that later.

Hello,

played around a while, seems it only happens if I have enabled the new VDPAU OpenGl interop Options in Video Settings and the strange thing is, these settings must be enabled on boot. If i enable them afterwards, its seems to work like a charm.

If I boot, disable the VDPAU OpenGl interop Settings and then switch to LiveTv it works too.

If I boot with disabled settings, switch OpenGl interop to enabled, then LiveTV seems to work too with enabled new VDPAU stuff.

if I boot with enabled OpenGl interop - switch to LiveTV, the first Channel Up causes a freeze.

i rebuilt the latest master today and it doesn't seem to work with mysql.

here is some of the error log:

Hi FernetMenta,

I wanted to try your vdpau branch. Unfortunately it doesn't compile, ActorProtocol.cpp / ActorProtocol.h are missing. Could you please upload.

Thanks in advance.
