Hi,
this solution worked on my SuSE-System after updating xine-lib. So far, so good. However, on my Debian-System I did update xine-lib as well (without any harder problems) . Then I edited /.xine/config as discribed below. But Xine seems not to react on this entry. I can see that config is written each time I enter Xine-Setup at runtime, but in the Setup-Window ("Engine") there is no entry saying "Priority for vdpau_264_alter decoder". In consequence, xine does not use this alternative decoder... Hm, as I said, on the SuSE-System everything is fine... The only difference, as far as I can see, is that on Debian xine gui language is english, on the Debian System it is english.
Any ideas? Thorsten

I just added the new ZDF HD channels (ZDF, KIKA, ZDF neo, kultur and info) and I get strange effects like the ones described in http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Neue-HDTV-Sender-Ruckler-auf-bestimmt....
It looks as if the color pallette switched every 0.7 s. This didn't happen with the old ZDF HD channel. My setup is unchanged. Other HD channels are not affected.
Did anyone else observe this, and what can we do to fix this?
You didn't mention your setup in detail, but I assume you're using a xine-lib VDPAU based solution.
In my vdr-xine setup I had to switch from vdpau_h264 to vdpau_h264_alter decoder. The following lines from ~/.xine/config give vdpau_h264_alter a higher priority:
# priority for vdpau_h264 decoder # numeric, default: 0 #engine.decoder_priorities.vdpau_h264:0
# priority for vdpau_h264_alter decoder # numeric, default: 0 engine.decoder_priorities.vdpau_h264_alter:1
Bye.
