RE: HOW-TO: Automated efficient (dedicated) XBMC installation on Ubuntu minimal 12.10 - un1versal - 2012-11-01
Oh I see, Ill have to try that with rebase (I thought the changes were lost if pulling newer code in). I compile already so quite familiar with the how to compile. Though I know nothing how git works.
thx

why rebase? just build fernetmentas tree....

@wsnipex & @fritsch
Thanks, I've set up everything in XBMC according to your (and uNiversals) instructions.

I downloaded the improved xorg.conf. I would love a tweaked version specific to my setup. My Xorg.0.log is 800k large though, and pastebin doesn't allow pastes that big. Any other way I can get you the file, or can you tell me what information you need? Thanks!
Edit: Looked at the file and guessed you need the ModePool data, here it is: http://pastebin.com/yKDc35UL ... let me know if you need more from the log!
RE: HOW-TO: Automated efficient (dedicated) XBMC installation on Ubuntu minimal 12.10 - un1versal - 2012-11-02
Ya I need the xorg.0.log for complete information, use dropbox or mediafire for larger files that pastebin cant handle.
The modepool gives me general unspecific information really not helpful for what I need. The tweaks I'm applying like correct HorizSync and VertRefresh + modelines + DFP specific information for your setup/tv can only be found in xorg.0.log
How's your setup fairing with that xorg from the how to and 23.976p - 24p playback so far?

How else do you get the current code into xbmc? Thers plenty bug fixes now specially since xbmc is in feature freeze, and I doubt any fernets stuff is going to be added to frodo, honestly I dont feel like waiting another year.

OK, here's a link to the complete log: xorg.txt.
Only done a little bit of testing so far, 1920x1080 / 23.976 movies seem to play fine. Not sure what an acceptable drop number is (or if it's relevant here).
RE: HOW-TO: Automated efficient (dedicated) XBMC installation on Ubuntu minimal 12.10 - un1versal - 2012-11-02
Hello back
Drop frames depend on amount, and because the xorg defines a horizontal vertical refresh values that didn't match your setup this could get the modelines for 23/24p thrown out, I have now corrected that so check and report.
I added a 1920x1080_60 modeline but it is commented out, you can test it by removing the hash # before it and restarting X.
I will presume you know what to do with a pastebin of the xorg WHich is only for your system.

I wouldn't mind seeing another xorg.0.log after the changes just to see if there's any warning or modelines being thrown out. You can remove the old one.

@tech242:
While a movie is playing, do via ssh, with the same user running xbmc:
Code:
DISPLAY=:0 /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc-xrandr | pastebinit@Universal:
Please check the commits, that are in fernetmenta github master branch, go to page 2, of them - you will find the mainline commits. This branch is not static, it is rebased on master every two days (https://github.com/FernetMenta/xbmc/commits/master?page=2)
RE: HOW-TO: Automated efficient (dedicated) XBMC installation on Ubuntu minimal 12.10 - tech242 - 2012-11-02
OK, tried the new xorg.conf and in GUI I can only select 1920x1080@50hz. Doesn't matter if the 60hz line is uncommented or not.
Here's the output of the command fritsch told me to run: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326443/
And here's the Xorg.0.log: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1326453/
RE: HOW-TO: Automated efficient (dedicated) XBMC installation on Ubuntu minimal 12.10 - un1versal - 2012-11-02
50Hz is fine for GUI
As for the output for fritsch you have to run that command WHILE playing a 23p file and rinse and repeat again while playing a 24p file
It seems that your receiver doesn't like non interlaced modelines and is throwing the overrides out including 23/24p because of refresh rates.
Perhaps this will help http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=65nfSwZU (this corrects a typo and includes a modeline for 50Hz
Admittedly I have no experience with receivers only tv's and am following this topic for how to pimp the xorg and using the 23/24p modelines that were made available via advice from fritsch.
Perhaps fritsch can have a look at the log and the xorg.conf and maybe see something I dont.
Ive commented out #Option "ExactModeTimingsDVI" "True" to see if this laxes the erros that make the modes invalid
the errors that make the modes invalid
Code:
Mode is rejected: HorizSync (somevalue.0 kHz) out of range* un1versal shrugs a bit
TIA

Alright, I grabbed the latest version of the conf file, will test it a bit during the weekend and report back on Monday. Thanks so much for your help so far!
RE: HOW-TO: Automated efficient (dedicated) XBMC installation on Ubuntu minimal 12.10 - un1versal - 2012-11-02
Grab the conf again I fixed a error, sorry. http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=65nfSwZU

Great work on the script Bram!
Does the script install TVHeadEnd? How hard would this be to set up?
RE: HOW-TO: Automated efficient (dedicated) XBMC installation on Ubuntu minimal 12.10 - illiac4 - 2012-11-02
It is already included.
RE: HOW-TO: Automated efficient (dedicated) XBMC installation on Ubuntu minimal 12.10 - FieldDoc - 2012-11-02
Can it be set up from within XBMC??
RE: HOW-TO: Automated efficient (dedicated) XBMC installation on Ubuntu minimal 12.10 - wsnipex - 2012-11-02
the whole purpose of that script is to get xbmc set up properly
everything else are addons.
