[Pkg-xbmc-maintainers] Bug#701807: [PATCH] video playback enhancements for Linux part1: vdpau

[Dominic Evans]

Package: xbmc
Version: 2:12.0~git20130127.fb595f2-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Please consider using quilt to import this Linux-specific patch into
debian/packages/ (it has been backported from upstream master) and
delivering it to experimental for users to test. Other distros such as
OpenElec already have this patch applied and it has been shown to
significantly improve rendering on Linux for nvidia-vdpau-driver
users.

* Performace improvements
Separate threads for deinterlacing, opengl interoperation, frame
buffering in renderer. This maximizes time for decoding and
deinterlacing.

* Improved deinterlacing
The advanced methods now use 4 past and 2 future fields, instead of 2
past and 1 future. I have stutter free playback of 1080i at 50,
temporal/spacial deinterlacing on ION2

* Fix stuttering caused by overwrite (early reuse) of video surfaces
