Ubuntu Multimedia :: 5(really Just 2) Steps To Reproduce Vdpau Error On >= 3 Flavors Of 2.6.32-24
Aug 26, 2010
1.(opt) Clean install (From ubuntu.com - 64 bit, 64bit server, and netbook remix will all work(break))
2.(opt) Update, restart
3.(opt? I know it works (breaks) for 195.36.24 and for 256.44) activate nvidia current through Hardware Drivers Gui, restart
4. install vdpauinfo: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa then using Synaptic, reload packages, install libvdpau1 and vdpauinfo (will also work (break) with more recent driver from x-swat ppa as shown in below output))
5. export VDPAU_NVIDIA_DEBUG=3 && export VDPAU_TRACE=1 && vdpauinfo

This problem has been here for 2 months or so:
If I, in VLC, choose a folder with several mp4 or other multimedia format files, it will show em in the playlist in random order, definitively not alphabetical. that didnt use to happen before.

I am trying to take advantage of VDPAU for playing video files with my ASRock ION 330. As far as I know, MPlayer and VLC both include VDPAU support. Ok then, I managed to make MPlayer work from the command line:
mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau ./filename.mkv
In this way it plays a 720p content smoothly, with under 10% CPU use. Great!The problem is when I try to make this permanent, i.e., configuring the files ~/.mplayer/config and ~/.mplayer/gui.conf.This is what I have in there:
config
======
vo=vdpau,xv,
vc=ffh264vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau,
[code]....
But still, when I open MPlayer from the menu, no matter what file I try to open it gives this ugly message:Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device. With regard to VLC, I had no luck, although I am using the latest "1.0.3 Goldeneye" version, I don't know how to make use of VDPAU.

SMplayer has a vdpau option, turn it on, and it stops playing video. XV works just fine, but vdpau uses a lot less processor.

I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.04. After the upgrade, mplayer no longer play a DVD.
I put the missing codecs, as described here: [url] Now DVD worked.
Also during the upgrade package libvdpau1 was disappeared, I restored it from the default repository. Then vdpau worked, but only after a reboot. After restarting gdm (select "Log Out" or sudo service gdm stop/start, or Ctrl + Alt + Backspace) an error:
After reboot everything works again.I updated libvdpau1 from repository [url], but it did not help, same error.
Video: nvidia 9600M GT
Notebook [url]
Driver set the default, 195.36.15-0ubuntu3, from the standard repositories.
In Karmic was 185, everything worked.
I noticed this feature, I do not know whether it is connected with subj:
Immediately after loading the gdm starts with the seventh console, ie when you exit the virtual console by Ctrl + Alt + F2 again to hit Ctrl + Alt + F7.
After you restart gdm is in the eighth console, Ctrl + Alt + F8.
If I run a guest session, it starts with the ninth console.
In the karmic like always with the seventh started.
When booting too strange things happen.
Ubuntu Karmic I installed with Alternate CD to an encrypted LVM.
I booting in text mode, ie without "quiet splash".
Booting reached requiring a password, when entering the password does not display an asterisk, after entering the password then continue normally.
After upgrading to Lucid booting lines are shown as a twisted, ladder when entering the password it displays asterisks and when I enter each character again displays prompt.
I did not like, and I again put the "quiet splash".

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and have it hooked up to my HDTV. My GPU is an 8600 GT and I am using the current nvidia driver. Mother board is GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H, CPU is AMD 4850e, using 2x1G ram 800MHz. Everything I have installed on it comes straight through Synaptic. Smplayer seems to work fine with the VDPAU selected (cpu usage is nice and low during HD playback), but there is a slight problem that really annoys. Every 2-3 seconds the picture seems to have the hiccups, its as though it gets stuck on one frame for a split second and then jumps to the next.

Is there a way to get Chromium to use VDPAU acceleration for HTML5 video playback? It's obviously not as cpu usage is very high.

I am using mplayer with vdpau enabled in Ubuntu 10.10. It works very well in general, reducing cpu usage for hd from 50% to 60% to around 10 -15% or less. There is however one slightly annoying problem. It is that mplayer would appear to "forget" its vdpau output setting once in a while and especially after rebooting. When that happens it needs to be "reset" in order to use vdpau. "Resetting" basically just means opening gnome-mplayer and change video output to xv and then back to vdpau again.
I should clarify that the setting has not actually been lost, it still says "vdpau", it just need resetting).

i installed the new flash 10.2 (with flash-aid) and i have no acceleration on videos.i thought that maybe i had something wrong with my system, so i reinstalled ubuntu 10.10.then installed flash and the vdpau-va-driver. still nothing.i have a ion card, so i should have full flash acceleration on video, like i have in windows.

I have installed the Packman Mplayer and smplayer packages. I have also installed the proprietary nvidia drivers from the main site. However when I try using vdpau in mplayer, the video doesn't show up and the logs show these messages:

1) Does Karmic mplayer have VDPAU support out of the box? If not, why doesn't it?
2) Does LUCID mplayer have VDPAU support "..."?
3) If Lucid doesn't, can I use the Karmic VDPAU PPA for Lucid, or much I compile mplayer myself?
4) Point me to a place with instructions on compiling mplayer with VDPAU support. If you don't know, I'll just google it.

I have tried many ways to enable vdpau support in my machine but for no avail. A member here helped me very much but I couldn't manage to succeed. My system has Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit, Nvidia 8500GT 512mb, Intel Core 2 duo. I have installed Nvidia driver version 195 currently available from their site. I tried compiling mplayer with vdpau support from various tutorials thread here around in Ubuntu forums.
Is there anyone in this forum with Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit with the same other system requirements as mine who have successfully managed to make the VDPAU work?

I have a Zotac IONITX-F-E motherboard (Intel Atom Dual Core 1.6 GHz + Nvidia ION) -based box with Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit installed. My goal is to play back 1080p video.
I have mplayer installed (which I compiled from source with --enable-vdpau). I try to run mplayer with this command:
Code:
mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau path/to/myfile.mkv
I get the following message in my terminal:
Code:
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.
I have libvdpau-dev and libvdpau1 installed.
[Code]....
Before doing all this, I was able to get the nvidia 195.36.24 driver installed, but I am still having some trouble, which may or may not be related.

I installed libvdpau and then I installed the nvidia vdpau software. I was following some steps from another post. When I run XBMC and hit 'O' I can see that the gcpu is still not doing any work (0 - 6%), the two computer cpus are doing all the work. They run at 30%'ish on 720p content and that renders smooth. No prob there. However, the cpus jump up to 50%+ (both cpus) on 1080p content and they can't keep the frame rate steady. It jumps around significantly so of course the movie stutters. No, the network is not the issue. Its completely wired gigabit end to end. Plus I'm running the video from the local hard drive and it doesn't change.
So... the solution is to get VDPAU working and so far I haven't found the right instructions.

Choppy RMVB etc. video on totem made me go _insane_So i realized mplayer with VDPAU output was rocking and rolling!But Ubuntu uses TOTEM. So I tried to figure out why TOTEM and VLC couldn't do VDPAU.Lots of users tried with no success, months ago, as I was looking at some threads.Just passing by to inform that I was able to make NVidia's VDPAU technology work with GStreamer by compiling the latest gst-VAAPI lib (~gbeauchesne), like that:
Example RMVB file output $ gst-launch-0.10 -vv filesrc location="~/putz.rmvb" ! ffdemux_rm ! ffdec_rv40 ! x264enc ! vaapidecode ! vaapisink
and no more freezes or choppy video! Graphics card is NVidia 8500 GT, NVIDIA Driver Version: 260.19.06 with Intel Core i7 + 4GB RAM now I'm getting the 0.11 gst GIT and will see if it makes any difference.[URL]...

Using either MPlayer or mplayer2 under the video player SMplayer, when clicking on any drop-down menus, the video will freeze and then skip. Once the drop-down menu animation has completed, the video playback will play normally. This happens when using VDPAU to play back H.264 MKV files. Audio playback of the video is never interrupted. why VDPAU will not play nice with SMplayer & Compiz?

I have a ASRock ION 330 with 512 Mbyte shared graphics memory. I use the 256.44 closed source nvidia drivers and have a Xinerama display consisting of one Asus 1440x900 monitor and one video projector with displaysize of 1280x720. Display: 1440x900 + 1280x720 in Xinerama
I have tried with and without desktop effects enabled, and I have followed the http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2009/0...thout-tearing/ guide to manually set the refresh rate to 60 Hz. The sync to Vblank option is checked, both in CCSM and nvidia-settings under X Server Xvideo Settings and under OpenGL Settings, to no avail.
The files I play are MPEG-2 Transport Stream in 720p. Some are and some are not in Matroska containers. I use SMplayer with vdpau enabled. I've made a comparison of Windows Vista and Ubuntu 10.04 below:[URL].. It's not entirely clear from the video, but the end scroller is choppy on Ubuntu and relatively smooth in Windows Vista.
This setup is to be run in a public cinema, and the chopping and tearing is a complete showstopper. It would be a nice showcase to have Ubuntu in the wild like this, but it can't be used if these issues are not resolved.

I had a problem playing full HD videos (1080p @ 30 fps), frames dropped, CPU utilisation (on 1 of 2 CPUs) maxed out etc.As I'm still stuck on Hardy I didn't find much stuff that directly answers my question on how to play this... After hunting about a bit the following two links gave me some idea of what needs to be done, namely install a new version of Mplayer that supports VDPAU (NVidia's hardware video acceleration solution).
[URL]
Luckily I had a NVidia video card that supports VDPAU and I had installed the NVidia proprietary drivers before [URL]To check if your NVidia card supports VDPAU please look at the proprietary driver release details.
Quote from Wikipedia:
"Currently only second generation of PureVideo HD bit-stream processor in some of NVIDIA's GeForce 8 series and later graphics cards hardware that has support since the Beta device driver version 180.06.[4] Unsupported hardware from the GeForce 8 series includes the 8800GTS 320/640MB editions and the 8800GTX. Later cards based on the G9x series cores e.g. the 8400GS and the 8800GTS 512mb (G92 core) are supported."
I usually play using VLC but was put-off from trying to upgrade that to CDPAU support because of this little detail from the Ubuntu forum links above:
Quote:
"VLC is available with vdpau by way of VA-API, in this PPA:[URL]However, to install it you'll have to upgrade your precious and very touchy ffmpeg packages. There have been a couple of SONAME upgrades since Karmic's ffmpeg was released, and this will inevitably result in breakage of anything that A) uses dynamic ffmpeg, and B) is not rebuilt against the new version, ie. every package that's on your system that didn't come from that PPA."

Is there a way VLC to use vdpau as video output? Mplayer and Gnomemplayer can use it and the video playback uses as little as 2-4 % CPU power even on 1080p movies. Xorg and Kwin continue to use pretty much CPU power in video playback process , I suppose there is no way to limit them or there is ?

I recently updated my Squeeze installation to testing and since then I've been unable to use VDPAU with SMPlayer and MPLayer. When VDPAU is enabled every video file gives the same error (see log at the end; don't mind the extra channel entries, they're for converting AAC to AC3 on-the-fly). Before this everything worked as it should.

mplayer complains about not being able to find libvdpau_nvidia.so. I checked in /usr/lib, and it's there, but it's a link that points to /usr/lib/vdpau libvdpau_nvidia.so. The folder vdpau doesn't exist.
Which package do I need to install to get this to work?

I'm considering getting a new motherboard in the future that has a pci-e x16 slot, but the slot only runs at x4 bandwidth.I will be using a 8800GT, so my question is will the x4 bandwidth have any detrimental performance hit when playing HD videos using VDPAU (H.264 codec)?

Trying to help brother whose computer quit working after he downloaded updates. Don't know Linux lingo but it looks to me like he has multiple flavors of Linux running: Gnome, ubuntu, xbuntu, kbuntu - probably more I've forgotten.
He knew nothing about computers at all and inherited a build-it-yourself computer kit that someone was throwing away. It came with a CD of Linux software. By trial and error he made it run and has managed to do some amazing things with photos and graphic design. But he downloads and launches EVERYTHING that suggests itself to him. Sometimes a thousand files at a time.
Now his machine boots but won't run any apps. It keeps giving him a message that he needs to "manually run" some "dpkg-something" but he doesn't know how to get to any sort of root or command prompt where he can enter a manual command. All he knows how to do is click icons. He's clicked them all. Now his computer is continually running screen after screen of programming language.
Is there any hope? Can we reinstall an OS without losing all of his files of graphics work? Which OS should he use on a fairly old and slow machine if his main (only?) use is graphic design?

I installed F13 beta yesterday, added RPMFusion's repos, updated and everything seemed ok, when the time came to add mp3 and video support I did the same as on F11, simply tried playing some mp3 and a rmvb video and after being asked to install missing codecs everything would work but! it didn't work for video, although it installed a bunch of files the rmvb video still won't play.
For now I installed mplayer and I can watch my videos alright, I also remember that on another opportunity the same happened to me and after a couple of updates the problem was fixed so no biggies but maybe someone can give me some advice on what to try to fix this? like remove a certain package and try reinstalling it.

In the near future I will be obliged to change my computer. Currently, my system is OpenSuse 11.2 with KDE 4.5.3 on a dual-boot (with WinVista) laptop. I plan to have the new machine again be dual-boot (Win7).
First question: Is there a way to "describe" the current system in a way that, after the initial partitioning and probably a basic installation of OpenSuse 11.2, makes it easy to reproduce the current OpenSuse 11.2 installation (i.e., installed packages, profiles; more?) on the new machine? This would reduce manual work to copying some system files (e.g., /etc/csh.cshrc and similar) and of course /home/username etc.
Second question: Same as first, but this time with a change to OpenSuse 11.3 or the soon to come OpenSuse 11.4. A potential initial installation of OpenSuse 11.2 would be possible.
