Very nice initial test port. Won't build on my 8-STABLE amd64 system if vdpau support is selected. Apologies that I didn't preserve the exact error message, but if I remember correctly it was during the configure stage of one of the later dependencies when config halted, not finding the linux flavor of something. Installation succeeded after changing the port config to leave out vdpau support.

Hello! I have already installed XBMC on FreeBSD 8.1#amd64 with ASRock A330ION motherboard from port. It works!!! It has a lot of depences and more of them I installed by pkg_add.
Also I have already installed nvidia driver for ION chipset.
I have no any problem during installation.
Now I use startx and do xbmc to launch it. I have some problems:
1. Russian charsets are not work (I am using an english now)
2. Cannot get sound through HDMI port. Video works as well.
3. I cannot find any way to get USB MCE Remote Control (based on Philips receiver) works.

Now I am testing it. If any problem will be appeared I will post here.

Hi,

1/ start xbmc with:
LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8 xbmc
with git version, locale are directly handle in code

2/ you can try to play with
sysctl hw.snd.default_unit
(cat /dev/sndstat to list all units)
and keep normal /dev/dsp sound output

3/ is it LIRC device ? because i need to spend some time on it to get it work.

Any progress ? Combining ZFS and xbmc would create the ultimate htpc/fileserver solution!

HAHAH, you have plenty on ponies there.

That's 1st thing I notice. gdb it and see where it's spending time. I'd suspect atomics or pthread sleeps not working.
