Christian, are you continue your work with H.264 decoder?
Also in this commit ot master you have a typo: 8619aa5683eb16c12a1b2eaeab2378855791ec8c

#PKG_CHECK_EXISTS([libva], [enable_vdpau=yes], [enable_vdpau=no])

should read

#PKG_CHECK_EXISTS([libva], [enable_va=yes], [enable_va=no])

I wanted to try this VDPAU thing, but I don't seem to have even a single MPEG1 or MPEG2 video here, lol. Everything these days is something MPEG4-based. Which is probably why I get this error:

Starting playback...

Seems to be an mplayer2 problem:

Try a DVD?

If I had one...

Well, doesn't look like a "problem", since that function is part of the VDPAU API:

Could you please post a picture of the artifacts?
And which mpeg you are trying to play?

It happens with any mpeg I throw at it. The picture with artifacts below is from the following mpeg:

http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/MPEG2/dvd.mpeg

Try this: export R600_TILING=1

Without tilling my R710 can play a 1080p roughly over 37fps, with tilling it beats the 50fps mark.

I'll probably try experimenting a bit with this over the weekend. Not much time right now.

Oh, thanks. Maybe I will try it. But according to the git log there are already people working on the makefiles so I think I can wait a few more days. Judging from the comments here it isn't working too well yet anyway.

Yeah, that's why it doesn't work anymore :-D

vdpau does work on evergreen (HD5870) but it displays only artifacts

With mplayer2 it didn't work at all.

Also, it is slow as hell:

Edit: oops, I forgot to put the card into 'high' power state, at least it's faster than software decoding

Xvmc didn't work at all. Full logs: http://files.linuxsystems.it/temp/20..._xvmc_logs.txt

And here's the result of that mplayer benchmark (RV710) using the aforementioned sample MPEG2:

BENCHMARKs: VC:  23.367s VO:  60.183s A:   0.000s Sys:   2.566s =   86.116s
BENCHMARK%: VC: 27.1345% VO: 69.8861% A:  0.0000% Sys:  2.9794% = 100.0000%

Do you have any artifacts?
