Description Tomàs Deltell 2013-06-10 16:09:55 CEST

Since Mageia 1, when running XBMC, I noticed that performance on MKV videos are worse than in other distros (ie Chakra Linux or Arch Linux) if I play 1080p MKV videos on 1920x1080 resolution. This problem doesn't exist if I build XBMC from source code. The hardware on this occurs is AMD APUs with Catalyst drivers (now with AMD E2-1800, in the past with AMD E-350).

If I set up XBMC with 1360x768 resolution (for example), this problem doesn't reproduces.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

12.1-2

How reproducible:

Playing 1080p MKV vÃdeo on 1920x1080 resolution

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Mageia on a AMD "E series" APU (AMD E2-1800 in this case).
2. Install Catalyst drivers and XBMC.
3. Set up XBMC to use 1920x1080 resolution.
4. Play 1080p MKV vÃdeo.

Reproducible:

This may occur because of the patches applied to add PVR support?

Mageia 3 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status 4 months ago.
http://blog.mageia.org/en/2014/11/26/lets-say-goodbye-to-mageia-3/ 

Mageia 3 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
