Does XBMC / Kodi support this VIA VX11PH Media System Processor under Linux?

Does it support VAAPI or VDPAU API for hardware accelerated video?

Hi, the VX11 driver supports VAAPI. It’s a binary driver, unfortunately, so I don’t think it’s included in XMBC by default, but the driver can be downloaded from http://download.viatech.com/en/support/driversSelect.jsp (choose Linux-current for the OS, and Ubuntu 12.04, that should take you to the relevant download page). Manual set up is not ideal, but that’s available at the moment…
