VaAPI with Intel HD Graphics Clarkdale i3 proc not working with mplayer

**XabiX** · 08-17-2010, 09:59 AM

Hello ALL,

I have been spending sometime trying to activate HW decompression for playing movies as the default configuration with x11 or gl don't provide good results.

I am using an HTPC server with intel Clarkdale i3 530 proc under lucid kernel 2.6.35-020635-generic using the latest intel drivers available at http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu.

I have followed these requirements:
http://intellinuxgraphics.org/h264.html
http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/

and installed libdrm and libva with the following commands:

libdrm 2.4.21
wget http://dri.freedesktop.org/libdrm/libdrm-2.4.21.tar.bz2
./configure --enable-i965-driver --prefix=/
make
checkinstall

libva 0.31.1
FYI I was not able to compile the libva package as described in gbeauchesne website with ths following command "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us". This is what I have done:
wget http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbe...-latest.tar.gz
./configure --enable-i965-driver --prefix=/usr
make
checkinstall

vainfo seems good to me:

Code:

libva: libva version 0.31.1-sds1
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/va/drivers/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

Then I compiled mplayer-vaapi-20100713:
wget http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbe...latest.tar.bz2
./checkout-patch-build.sh --enable-vaapi --enable-x11 --enable-debug
I also tried with ./configure --enable-vaapi --enable-x11 --enable-debug

Here is the output of mplayer:

Code:

./mplayer -vo vaapi -nosound /media/RAID/Video/Memento\ -\ En\ st\ Fr.avi

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: filter_video
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
  Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
  disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
  gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
  DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.

Unfortunately I don't know how to debug with gdb etc... but I wanted to first share my experience with you guys in order to see if I missed something.

Also if someone has tested this and can confirm that VaAPI works with i3 proc that would be good too.

Thanks for anyone's help

You do too much wrong things. If you want to use U 10.04 you do NOT add any driver updates, only a new 2.6.35+ kernel. Then run:

http://kanotix.com/files/fix/install-libdrm.sh

The same script works for Debian Squeeze/Sid. After that:

http://kanotix.com/files/fix/mplayer-vaapi-latest.txt

All scripts as root, vlc would also work well. To install:

http://kanotix.com/files/fix/vlc-vaapi-local.txt

Run that script first as root and then as user.

Thanks Kano for your quick reply and propositions. I ll try that and get back sharing the results.

Merci

It seems that the scripts need some tweaking or maybe it s because I did some tries before.

Here are the logs of both install fyi:
http://xabix.free.fr/uploads/install-libdrm.log
http://xabix.free.fr/uploads/mplayer-vaapi-latest.log

Nevertheless I ll keep investigating why they didn't work. I should be missing some dependancies etc...

Here are the logs of both install fyi:

Nevertheless I ll keep investigating why they didn't work. I should be missing some dependancies etc...

There is something strange as the cmd with sudo doesn't work either:

They are NOT tested when you enabled extra ppa. Maybe install maverick and just run the mplayer vaapi script. I do not test U all the time, but pure lucid worked the way i told you and maverick works without libdrm install. I can not spend my time fixing your broken install with extra ppas.

Btw. libva does not compile because you manually installed it. Clean your system first!

By cleaning the system do you mean removing the packages through synaptic?
I always installed home built packages with the checkinstall command so I can uninstall them easily by removing the package. Or am I missing something when doing this?

I did remove libva and libdrm from synaptic but it looks like it's not enough.
When you say removing ppa, is it also true for video drivers, mythtv etc...

I just reinstalled and finished to reconfigure everything so I am more willing to find how to clean the system than reinstalling ;-).
Besides upgrading to maverick maybe also differ from a fresh install.

intel drivers site say that intel drivers 2.11 are required which are not available under lucid without ppa so some customization is required.

I still have a lot to learn

I am using an HTPC server with intel Clarkdale i3 530 proc under lucid kernel 2.6.35-020635-generic using the latest intel drivers available at http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates/ubuntu.

I have followed these requirements:
http://intellinuxgraphics.org/h264.html
http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/

and installed libdrm and libva with the following commands:

libdrm 2.4.21
wget http://dri.freedesktop.org/libdrm/libdrm-2.4.21.tar.bz2
./configure --enable-i965-driver --prefix=/
make
checkinstall

libva 0.31.1
FYI I was not able to compile the libva package as described in gbeauchesne website with ths following command "dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -us". This is what I have done:
wget http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbe...-latest.tar.gz
./configure --enable-i965-driver --prefix=/usr
make
checkinstall

vainfo seems good to me:

Code:

libva: libva version 0.31.1-sds1
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/va/drivers/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

I'm on Debian. I followed the Intel Howto straight. Your libdrm prefix should be /usr. Don't forget to remove older libva/drm.

Code:

max@t410:~/code/mplayer-vaapi-20100713/mplayer-vaapi$ vainfo 
libva: libva version 0.31.1
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
      VAProfileH264Baseline           :	VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileH264Main               :	VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileH264High               :	VAEntrypointVLD

mplayer works fine, too.

Hi Rabauke,

So it looks like I was almost there. When you say don't forget to remove older libva and libdrm can you precise a little bit how to do so.

I had libdrm installed to 2.4.21 thanks to Kano's script and I had libva from gbeauchesne site. I can remove easily libva* from synaptic but libdrm complains about all the dependancies.
So instead to remove it can I just downgrade to the official U pkg 2.4.18 or this will not work?

Should I also run an updatedb and locate to suppress the remaining libdrm/libva entries in /lib/* ?

Between your vainfo and mine, I am missing the H264 lines so I assume this why it s not working. Are these missing lines because of my libva install or libdrm or both?

I was just wondering if I can keep the libdrm installed as they are linked to many pkgs and I don't want to break anything.

Merci
XabiX

Here is what I ve done:
remove libva*
downgrade libdrm* to official U release 2.4.18-ubuntu4
remove libkms1 and libdrm-dev

Compile latest libdrm with
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
checkinstall

Compile latest libva with
./configure --enable-i965-driver --prefix=/usr
make
checkinstall

Now the vainfo complains with libdrm which is missing for intel drivers.

Code:

xabix@xabix-desktop:/usr/local/src/libva-0.31.1$ vainfo 
libva: libva version 0.31.1
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva error: dlopen of /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so failed: /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so: undefined symbol: drm_intel_bo_mrb_exec
libva: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit
xabix@xabix-desktop:/usr/local/src/libva-0.31.1$ ll /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 490696 2010-08-17 20:01 /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so*

When I compiled libdrm I only got one package and not libdrm-intel1 and libdrm2 either.

What I will do is maybe install libdrm with Kano's script and re-compile libva with the right prefix in the configure see if this works.

Thanks
XabiX
