Hmm<br><br>don't have the details to hand but had a not entirely dissimilar experience when I first built 0.23-1 fixes from source and failed to notice that it required a newer version of libvdpau that that present on my OS version at the time.<br>
<br>So I built it, but actually vdpau was inactive ... several days of sadness ensued.<br><br>I used that as an excuse to update to Ubuntu 10.04.1 which contained sufficiently new versions of libvdpau and all was again well. <br>

<br>I've been a happy VDPAU+Mythfrontend user for quite a while.. was happy to leave mplayer behind, and get closer to a "works out of the box" experience.<br><br>However, my happiness was short lived.... as of about (and I apologize, I don't have an exact patch level I started noticing) 0.23-fixes I started seeing two distinct issues.. I've gone forward/backward in NVIDIA driver revisions, to no avail.. Anyway, the issues:<br>
<br>1. H.264 Accel -- pixelation/juddering -- messed with VPDAU buffer/etc, no avail. Seems to happen on high bitrate. Here's mediainfo on one file I'm having trouble with:<br><br><font face="'courier new', monospace" size="1">Format : AVC<br>
Format/Info : Advanced Video Codec<br>Format profile : High@L5.1<br>Format settings, CABAC : Yes<br>Format settings, ReFrames : 9 frames<br>Codec ID : V_MPEG4/ISO/AVC<br>
Bit rate : 5 688 Kbps<br>Width : 1 280 pixels<br>Height : 720 pixels<br>Display aspect ratio : 16:9<br>Frame rate : 23.976 fps<br>
Color space : YUV<br>Chroma subsampling : 4:2:0<br>Bit depth : 8 bits<br>Scan type : Progressive<br>Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 0.257</font><br>
<br><br>2. MPEG2, blacks -- getting white pixelation only in spots of PURE black, and only on some recordings. (All HDHR recordings). I'll have to find a recording and grab the info.. I caught up on a bunch of TV this weekend, deleted when I was done.<div>
<div><div><br></div><div><br>Here's the specifics... <br><br>Kernel : 2.6.32.21-168.fc12.x86_64<br>NV: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 260.19.12 <br><br>MythTV Version : 26854<br>MythTV Branch : branches/release-0-23-fixes/mythtv/<br>
Network Protocol : 23056<br>Library API : 0.23.1.201000710-1<br>QT Version : 4.6.3<br><br>To be perfectly clear, this was NOT happening 3 months ago.. zero hardware changes, all software changes. this is the initial "toe-in-the-water-is-anyone-else-having-issues" email. Anyone else having these types of issues?<br>
