VAAPI blue skin: the solution

[bean]

I have no idea where to post this. I hope people will find this here and find it useful.

As reported at http://www.hkepc.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=1385589 and http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showp...&postcount=498 I can run mplayer -vo vaapi -va vaapi but then everyone's face / skin is blue. Very nice effect

You want mplayer -vf rgb2bgr=swap,scale -vo vaapi -va vaapi

Ubuntu Karmic build instructions are at http://drupal4hu.com/node/244

Still only mpeg2 acceleration, am I right?

[bean]

Absolutely not, I have an AVC1 1080p mkv which pretty much does not play on my laptop without VA API and plays acceptable w it.

And what does

vainfo

show you?

Btw. my script enables 965 driver on the fly too, maybe you did not notice it...

i965 seems to only support MPEG2 at the moment:

libva: libva version 0.31.0
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA API version: 0.31
vainfo: Driver version: i965 Driver 0.1
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
      VAProfileMPEG2Simple            :	VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileMPEG2Main              :	VAEntrypointVLD

Yes, i know, that's why bean's comments are a bit curious.

Too bad, I was already patching my mplayer ebuild
It seems I will have to use mplayer-mt for a while...

I don't understand your problem, please be more specific. The second link you mention is not relevant at all since this is a Radeon HD 5x00 specific problem. Ah, I probably forgot to fix the V/U planes in G45? You'd probaby want to replace all VA_FOURCC('Y','V','1','2') occurrences with VA_FOURCC('I','4','2','0') in i965_drv_video.c.
