ION2 optimized branch

May 23, 2011 By 13 Comments

I noticed the following forum post on the XBMC forum (see details below). Many improvements were made on the vdpau part which allows XBMC to use the GPU to accelerate movies and so on. This version fixed all the ION2 stutter issues according to some users. More info below:

    This is only for ION2 ? This is correct for ASRock ION 330 ?

    The older ION should also benefit from these improvements. So it’s not “only ION2″.

    Hi, this was a bug in xbmc-pvr. I will do newer build in a few days which will have this problem solved.

    @Geoff
    Does this mean that you found a tutorial to get this running? I’m wondering how to get this going myself…

    download build from openelec site http://releases.openelec.tv/OpenELEC-ION.i386-0.99.5.tar.bz2 and then run the ‘create_installstick.bat’ (windows of course) to make a usb installer. Please bear in mind that openelec installer will not take existing partitions into consideration and just installs so wont have dual boot.
