View Full Version : Enable VDPAU in MPlayer for XBMC?
Where can i patch the Mplayer or how can i do it.
Is it madeable to activate it on a installed XBMC or have I to recompile (new install) it first?
I haven't found a howto or a sample.
Sorry for my bad english!

Is there support for this in the 180.22 nvidia driver. I did not think so! maybe I am wrong. Is there a new beta driver that does have the support built in, I think it is more involved than just patching mplayer but again I have been wrong before.

afaik all the 180.xx series nvidia driver has VDPAU support (please read the README that comes with the driver - there's only certain chipsets that are supported and there are limitations.)
Also.. there is no support for VDPAU (from what I gather) in the main xbmc codebase. You might have luck with this: http://xbmc.org/forum/showthread.php?p=277662#post277662
I am currently upgrading my system, and then will be trying to compile the SVN with support for external FFMPEG.
FYI - current FFMPEG has support for VDPAU (you must use the --enable-vdpau on the configure script when compiling..)
And besides, linux port does not use mplayer.
