Hello,

I was using Openelec on an Ion based PC but decided to get one of these magnificent Pi's to replace it. I have everything set up nicely (which was a breeze). The only problem I have is that everything I play (mostly MKV's and MP4's) look flat and under contrast. I had the same thing on Ion Openelec but there was an option to enable VDPAU which fixed this problem. Everything looked more colourful, better depth and better black levels.

I was wondering if Xbian had VDPAU or equivalent and if so, can someone tell me how to enable it?

Any information would be appreciated (I hope this is not a repeat question, couldn't find a solution)

Thanks
