XBMC for Linux success stories :)
Successfully running xbmc-linux with no errors on:
Motherboard: Intel E210882 cpu: P4 3200mhz ram: 1024mb gpu: ASUS GF8600GS running Ubuntu 7.04, newest nvidia driver from Envy, took a while to get xorg to stop messing about but is now running at 1920x1080@60hz. Todays XBMC-Linux build plays 100% perfectly without any segfaults or graphical errors/bugs. HR.HDTV = 6% cpu load 720p x264 = 32% cpu load 1080p x264 = 50% cpu load //max |

what clips did you use for 720p and 1080p? Im trying to find some to test and it would be nice to have a good bench mark clips for each system.

test clips
I would suggest bittorrent... you can find plenty of HD clips out there in suitable formats for benchmarking...

The clips I have are full-length movies, but I'll try to create a few small clips this week and upload the torrents.

the issue is getting really good clips that are encoded with the right encoder to really test the cpu load ... I know their is h264 and the open source x264 with x264 not having yet all the hooks that h264 has.
but any sort of clips where we could all test them and send in our results with data from our machines we are testing would be cool, this would allow for an area to bench mark different machines and what works or could be found as the minimum spec for a lmc |

Running XBMC-Linuix:
Motherboard: ASUS P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe CPU: Intel Core2Duo 1.83 Ram: 2048 GPU: BFG Tech BFGR7950512GTOCE Running Ubuntu 7.04, default restricted drivers. My Xorg worked after the nVidia drivers were installed. I need to more testing with Audio, I switched from using ALSA but a friend gave me a tip about my ALSA error. HR.HDTV = 6% CPU load 720p x264 = No testing 1080p x264 = No testing 1080p H.264 = 20% CPU load Most memory I saw used was about 256m -Reg |

hello again, sorry for this stupid question, but all my linux-experience have been debian-console :P
I got the mediacenter working just fine... problem is playing a 720p file uses 100% cpu and it has a fps of ~5 I have a 3 ghz cpu, 2gb ram, and a radeon 9600 video-card... So I guess my issue is that I lack ati-drivers? any easy howto for this? I installed ubuntu 7.04 thnx again!

I am not sure if this works but it was listed on UbuntuGuide.org as the source of knowledge.
http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubu...allation_Guide I think there is a post about using Envy as well, I have never used it but I know it works to make installing drivers simple. -Reg |
