Thanks for your report. That's very likely, sadly - the kodi development team currently does not run any AMD hardware anymore.
Could you do me a favor and test a @Milhouse Generic build from the forum, here: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=238393
It really concerns me to hear that, as i was planning to use this as my HTPC system for years to come. It has proven very reliable and so far and handled everything i wanted it to with ease. But your statement doesn't leave too much hope for future support, does it?
Back on topic, i tried the latest build from the link you provided (1103). Unfortunately, the behavior regarding VC-1 looks exactly the same.
Yeah - that's sad. So it's a regression in mesa which needs filing on bugs.freedesktop.org - I sadly cannot file it as I don't have this kind of hardware.

Should be fixed in latest test build, 1121:

@Psych05 - please confirm this is fixed in a current milhouse build. Thanks.
Forget what I wrote before the edit - sorry to report that the issue is still present in milhouse build 1121. Trying newer ones right now...
1121 runs v17 code ... but for your fix mesa 11.0.x is the culprit which had the fix I linked above.
I don't know - i really wish i had better news. But the behavior regarding VC-1 is absolutely unchanged. Same in build 1128.
Good - then nothing we can do for you.
FYI: Just tested a VC-1 video on OpenELEC 6.0.1 (not yet released), on a AMD A4-5300 apu (Radeon HD 7480D) machine here. No problems with artifacts or other glitches:

And there is hope again, thank you for the good news! You know, kodibuntu is really not for me. I can't wait to get back on board. Can this version be downloaded somewhere for me to test?
@Psych05 : Sorry, testing is still ongoing for other parts of OE as well. Patience, my friend :-)
@Psych05 : I've been told there is very similar test build you can try: :-) http://snapshots.openelec.tv/OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-6.0-devel-20160104091551-r21696-gac9f6fb.tar FYI, I got my VC-1 test video from here: http://download.openbricks.org/sample/VC1/
Tested the build you linked with no success. Also tried the video sample file you provided, as well as a few others from my NAS. All with the usual glitches. This is very strange, as mine is an A4-5000, one would think that this is 99% the same APU. I also checked that the same decoder is used (ff-vc1-vdpau), which is the case. Nothing more I can do here at the moment, i guess.
Your GPU is a 8000 series, mine is a 7000 series, the only difference I can think of. And yes, it's annoying to say the least. You did disable the VAAPI acceleration, I take it? Maybe the GPU memory allocation in the BIOS is insufficient?
THE PROBLEM I own a Zotac Zbox Nano AQ01 (AMD Kabini). Whenever I start any video file encoded with the VC-1 codec, it basically results in a screen completely of artifacts. This did not happen in any of the 5.x.x versions, but was already present in 6.0 beta 5 (i didn't try the earlier betas). As two people have confirmed the issue in my forum post (http://openelec.tv/forum/113-video-decoders/78533-vc-1-unwatchable-in-6-0-0), i'm dragging this here. I hope this is the correct way.
THE LOG FILE http://xbmclogs.com/pq61wymhd (component "Video" enabled) What happens in the log:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION For the log file, standard settings were used in Video -> Acceleration. I also tried other settings there. But no matter what I choose, VDPAU decoding is always used, except if i disable it for vc-1 or globally. Then, software decoding is used, resulting in heavy stuttering. All the other settings on the same page don't solve the problem, i tried them all.
