Comment (by FernetMenta):
Replying to [comment:55 cehoyos]:
> Did you ever report the problem to Fernetmenta? It may be easier for him
to simply revert to the old VDPAU code...
We are short final for 13.0 release and can't do such changes in that
stage. With last ffmpeg upgrade we changed vdpau to use hwaccel context.
The mentioned commit moved required parameters from the hw context to a
new picture context. why?
XBMC depends heavily on ffmpeg, this is why we have our own fork.
Currently this fork is embedded into XBMC's tree which is not ideal. We
intend to move it out of the tree which also makes upgrade easier. We can
pull a release directly from ffmpeg repo during build.
From XBMC's perspective breaking the API is not a big deal. Like Eric
said, we don't really support using "external" ffmpeg. On debian this even
means libav which no dev runs tests against.
