If that is the case, wouldn't it be an obvious first fix to remove simple and main from the driver's list of supported codecs?

I tried this patch:

 		}

Yet my WMV3 file is still going through VDPAU. So either my file is advanced profile and that is broken, or xbmc not fully respecting the list?

Turned out that the UVD symbols get duplicated both into the VDPAU driver and the DRI driver. So you have to replace both to get your changes to go through.

Still didn't work properly though as XBMC seems to not bother asking the driver what it can do and just blindly assumes that every format is available...

Which is pretty much the reason why I haven't fixed it so far, you also need to fix the applications as well. MPEG1 isn't supported either, but pretty much every application is ignoring the decoder capabilities.

Anyway if you want to write a patch to start fixing those issues feel free to do so, any help is always welcome.
