Hi,
When I use xine with the -V xxmc option in R5F27, the video is horribly flickery and slow. I have seem some mentions of flickering video on playback of recorded video, the solution being to change the NVIDIA driver, which I have done. I'm running version 100.14.19, which I ran in R5F1 (or it might have been 100.14.11, either way) with no problems.

I have set "UseEvents" "True" in my xorg.conf. I'm using an NVIDIA 5700LE on an NForce2 motherboard. What could possibly be causing this other than the video driver? The version of X.org in R5F27? Should I try recompiling Xine? I need hardware XVMC, since my deinterlacing/postprocessing filters won't work without it (the video plays back far too slowly with plain XV). This doesn't make my box unusable, but I'd really like to be able to use the deinterlacing/postprocessing filters with Xine as I use my KM machine primarily to play videos and DVDs. Thanks in advance.

Have you tried using the option -V xvmc instead of -V xxmc just a thought.

Try running top to see if the problem is CPU bound, a different tact.

No one else uses Xine with hardware XVMC to play DVDs? As I said, this has worked fine for like 2 years, and broke when I upgraded to R5F27. I am using the same video drivers I was using in R5F1.

Can someone with NVIDIA 5xxx hardware and KM R5F27 try running Xine with the -V xxmc option and report what happens? I'm going to try recompiling xine-lib from CVS and see if that does anything.

And to the above poster, not to be rude, but it really doesn't help anyone to answer questions when you don't know the answer or understand the problem. This seems to be common on a lot of Linux related forums and just decreases the signal to noise ratio.

nickca,

I am disappointed you feel this way as you have just discounted what I have said without even considering it. I understand your problem perfectly and that is why I suggested you try the standard xvmc driver instead of the plug in that fails back to xv if it can't use any of the other methods of xvmc first.

It pisses me off that when you do try to help people like you, you don't take the time to bother to test something someone suggests and simply discount it.

If you don't like the advice. fsck OFF.
