Oh yes I was on to that in a flash. Things are much improved but still not good enough for my 'production' setup.

You can select VDPAU rendering and temporal/spatial de-interlace for h264 video (SD and HD) giving fluid 50Hz frame rate. But when you then watch some mpeg2 content it falls back to software rendering and the standard 25Hz de-interlace.

Have posted a question on the XBMC forum whether it is possible to select VDPAU (and hence VDPAU de-interlace) for both h264 and mpeg2 decoders. The XBMC forum is incredibly busy so I am sceptical I will get a response.

BTW My setup with XBMC is now:

XBMC svn checkout http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/branches/pvr-testing2

VDR 1.7.11 (unpatched!)

cvs streamdev with all patches applied from pvr-testing2/pvr-addons/streamdev/patches directory.

I am using that version of

streamdev with pvr-testing2 ok.

This is my setup:

Streamdev plugin for XBMC http://streamdev.vdr-developer.org/

http://streamdev.vdr-developer.org/snapshots/vdr-streamdev-0.5.0-pre-200 90706.tgz

PVR testing version of XBMC http://www.xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=45314&highlight=pvr

svn checkout http://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/branches/pvr-testing2

Patch VDR 1.7.7 with extensions (for Streamdev

extension and parental

...

rating) http://www.zulu-entertainment.de/

http://www.zulu-entertainment.de/page/klick.php?d=VDR+Extensions+Patch

cp Make.config.template Make.config

Edit make.config enabling:

PARENTALRATING = 1 STREAMDEVEXT = 1 Other patches not required for XBMC.

The parental rating patch just gives nice colouring on

the epg for tv show categories.

Development is very active and shows much promise.

Disappointing deinterlacing though. There is good

support for VDPAU but with only half rate temporal. I

believe there is the intention to support full

...

rate deinterlacing... eventually.

several days ago the xbmc developers have added in trunk the support of full rate temporal and temporal_spatial. You can test them.

does support cvs version of streamdev plugin the xbmc testing-pvr2 branch ? or only http://streamdev.vdr-developer.org/snapshots/vdr- streamdev-0.5.0-pre-20090706.tgz will be good for xbmc pvr2 ?

The snapshot has been taken right after adding xbmc support to streamdev-cvs. Of course you can take a recent cvs version, too.

I would like to run svn pvr2 branch + cvs streamdev + vdr 1.7.11 does it possible at all ? which patches should I install ?
