Can't you apply both patched to the same mplayer?

That's what I did (in the end, after I go mplayer-vaapi working). Sorry if I was not clear.

There are new libva packages available today. Anyway:

I can never get this thing going.

You also need -va vaapi. And do NOT use 9-11 driver, only 9-10 works.

[Melcar]

Using the latest xvba package and I'm pretty sure I got all the command parameters in there. Been trying since the 9.10 betas with no luck.

[Kano]

You can only use 9-10 FINAL not the beta from U. I hope you did NOT use the ati-installer on a 64 bit system as the 64 bit libs are not installed in that case.

[Melcar]

No. 9.10 final. I always build packages too, since that's the only way I can even get a positive feedback with vainfo.

That's my tiny mplayer-vaapi wrapper - works for me...

#!/bin/sh
mplayer -va vaapi -vo vaapi:gl "$@"

Be sure your ~/.mplayer/config is empty or at least has got no va/vo/vc overrides.
