Arch Linux

Bizarre, the xbmc 13.0-1 build was extensively tested on a nvidia/vdpau machine without any issue

what is the input file you use, container/codecs/...

madko, the bug you linked to only affects libav, not ffmpeg, so it shouldn't affect Arch unless you're using libav from the AUR.

extra note xbmc comes with internal ffmpeg and is in no way linked to the system ffmpeg/libav

before xbmc13 you had the choice to use exteral ffmpeg, but that got removed you can only use internal ffmpeg these days

I wasn't aware that option was removed. Not sure what the linked bug report is about then.

Sorry may be the upstream bug is not related, I should have put this link instead, that really describes the bug I have:
debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg1212485.html"> https://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org/msg1212485.html

at the end of this thread, they point to the upstream bug.

What I have in the xbmc log which seems to be relevant is:
ERROR: GLX: Same window as before, refreshing
and error about CLinuxRendererGL::UploadVAAPITexture

I will try to attach a complete xbmc log but since I have downgraded to xbmc 12.

Here is an extract of the xbmc log file

I remove the guisettings.xml and now it works. I put back my previous theme and it's still working. So there is something wrong when you upgrade from xbmc 12 to 13 with previous settings.
However I still have no sound, no passthrough... but nothing to do with this bug. This bug can be closed.

thx for letting us know

for your settings, they have revamped many things so it is very likely you have to reconfigure a great deal of things, i know i had to re-enable passthrough

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBMC_v13_(Gotham)_FAQ#Where_did_most_of_the_settings_go.3F

put your settings level to expert and you will be able to configure passthrough again
