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

[XabiX]

So now the result is:

libdrm installed with kano script
libva as explained above and now I have the same vainfo

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: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA API version: 0.31
vainfo: Driver version: i965 Driver 0.1
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints

      VAProfileH264High               :	VAEntrypointVLD

great now mplayer doesn't crash and I get a black screen because I am connected through VNC. I will have to test at home but seems a nice step.

Thanks Rabauke

so it's partially working but maybe it's normal.

With this video, I only have the picture (CPU very low 15% and nice)

Now I need to make sure I understand why if there is any reason. At least mplayer doesn't crash anymore

I ll mark the thread as solved but if someone can provide more explanations on why i don't have both on the same time it will be great.
Tomorrow I ll try maybe the vlc see if it makes any difference.

Is there a way to access mplayer menu once is launched or everything needs to be done through the cmd line?

Cheers

Why would somebody use this way to compile/install? That's the worst idea possible when there are scripts to do that in a correct way.

because unfortunately all the new HW needs some additional tweaking in order to work from an official distrib. So we have to add special ppa and compile some packages in order to make things working.
If scripts are working too that's even better.

For example, today I can't run interleave mode 1080i under linux with my intel drivers. It works under windows but not not under linux. so the image doesn't fit in my TV :-s

The reason you get a black screen is that you have a divx/xvid video. vaapi doesn't handle this. mplayer should display the video if you choose -vo xv instead.

[Rabauke]

vaapi handles afaik only mpeg2,4 for acceleration. pls correct me, if I'm wrong.

This what I was thinking from the output of the vainfo.

When I played the H264 file the sound was not working is there also some limitations on the audio codecs?

Is there a list of what is supported with vaapi?

Thanks

[Kano]

It would be good to think before writeing. vaapi has nothing to do with audio.

[XabiX]

SMplayer is a good frontend for mplayer. I use it with my new mplayer-vaapi executable.
What is strange is that selecting the vo to vaapi with the same mkv file "Coalgirls-QTS_Kanon_OP_Blu-ray_Box_Eizou_Tokuten_1920x1080_H264-DXVA_FLAC_DTS-HD_MA.mkv" I don't have the image but the sound is working.
I think it's just a matter of finding the right setup.

I ll try vlc-vaapi which should be much easier now that I have the under line (libdrm,libva correclty installed).

[XabiX]

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.

Hi Kano,

I tried to run your script to install vlc but it failed when running as user.
What's the best way to remove what was done by the script?
Is there any clean procedure? or it's just about removing "user's home"/dist directory?

FYI the log:
http://xabix.free.fr/uploads/vlc-vaapi-local.log

Ideally the script should come with a little how to (or help page) and if possible with an uninstall procedure.

I know that you are busy working on new things so I understand that the script is just an install way over a fresh install to get things installed. Therefore I assume they are not aimed for all users (or newbies or whatever you want to call them).

Thanks
