This only happens when xbmc is compiled against system ffmpeg. I cloned the xbmc repository and removed --enable-external-libraries from debian/rules. This caused VA-API playback to work fine.
Interestingly, the xbmc internal ffmpeg looks to be between 0.6 and 0.8, whereas the system ffmpeg in Wheezy is 0.8. -- Matt Horan m...@matthoran.com http://matthoran.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
