That thing check some internal functions that should not be exported whether it supports the vdpau or not. Simple removal of the check should make it work as we check the vdpau support via use deps.
these reports really belong in the upstream trac http://trac.xbmc.org/
Yeah, I already seen the reports on forums. They close it as wontfix: use internal api.
Created attachment 305949 [details, diff] xbmc-9999-no-vdpau.patch I wrote this simple removal of the check as the vdpau availability should be simply handled by the usedep in gentoo so we don't really need the check. Is it ok for commit?
might be easier to add to the ebuild: # Disable internal ffmpeg symbol checking as our DEPEND took care of it. export ac_cv_lib_avcodec_ff_vdpau_vc1_decode_picture=yes
Right that should work too, and also has the bonus that it wont get fuzzy if they change the configure.ac. So please go ahead.
i've added the variable export then http://sources.gentoo.org/media-tv/xbmc/xbmc-9999.ebuild?r1=1.106&r2=1.107
