AMD's UVD2-based XvBA Finally Does Something On Linux

[xipu]

It's working for me but I am using MPlayer 2009/12/07 and fglrx 8.69. Not tried with older versions yet.

Hm, I still see the issue with mplayer-vaapi-20091209. Perhaps you don't see overscan with vaapi output due to a newer fglrx driver. I'm using the 9-10 release (8.661), and my understanding is that 9-11 release (8.671) is incompatible with mplayer-vaapi. Is the 8.69 driver expected for public release in January '10? Any links to beta versions would be much appreciated.

Well i dislike that the 1209 update was done too early, even on the same day it was not possible to use the -1 script which calls "svn up" to get uptodate code - the shortest time till a snapshot borke: the same day Basically it is not really worth the time to wait for updated drivers - they are not supported for endusers anyway as everybody from ati wants to tell you. You can feel lucky that you can use it as it. Just buy something else...

cant build mplayer

I can't build mplayer with kano script. I get some errors like this : undefined reference to swapGlBuffers. I did build mplayer with that script cca month ago, what had changed?

[Kano]

Thats because it broke the same day the last mplayer vaapi update was released. Use the script without svn up. Added Ubuntu detection btw. to increase the version in that case that it would not be in d-u everytime.

MPlayer interrupted by signal 6 in module: decode video
- 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.

no they don't!

mplayer crashes 1-2 sec after launched.
And while trying to take a snapshot of what shows in that window for a while (because it shows something scrambled) it crashed my Xorg

the error it gives is:

and libva is the last (4 nov 2009) 0.31.0+1-sds7

if you need something, just tell me.

[Kano]

you have to use

mplayer -va vaapi -vo vaapi:gl movie

What you tried works only with mpeg2 on intel g4x or with nvidia (when the wrapper works fine for the tested file). The ONLY driver to use is 9-10 FINAL.

[gbeauche]

Thats because it broke the same day the last mplayer vaapi update was released. Use the script without svn up.

Nothing broke. What I release is what was tested. If you really want to svn update, be prepared to fix any problem with API changes in MPlayer or whatever and don't complain or wait for the next release... It's Open Source, you know.

[Melcar]

New version of xvba released (0.6.0):

http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/xvba-video/

No need to use gl as output anymore.

[tball]

Just to be sure.
Both fglrx 9.10 (inluded in Ubuntu) and fglrc 9.12 hotfix works with xvba?
