[SOLVED] Problem with XBMC and VA-API on sandy bridge

Hello

I'm running XBMC on my server with a core i3 and built in HD2000 graphics. When running without VA-API everything works fine except for some lag in heavy 1080p scenes.

But if I turn on VA-API the video works for about 5 seconds and then the frames gets messed up. It appears as it's showing the previous frame after the current and then goes to the next and does the same thing. This happens for about a second or two and then it goes back to normal for another 5 seconds. It's bit hard to explain, but I hope you'll understand.

Any ideas why this happens?

Thanks

afaik this is a known bug in the current stable release (Dharma). You can either wait for the next stable (Eden), which will be released within the next weeks or use xbmc-git from the AUR.

Thanks for the reply. The issue isn't that big so I'll probably wait for the next release but I'm really looking forward to it.

You could try the Eden beta as well. It's quite stable.
