Xine, x264, VC1 (mkv), and VDPAU

[THEVILLAIN]

I have xine with x264,VC1 (mkv) support via VDPAU working on the command line.   I can launch with 'DISPLAY=:0 xine -V vdpau -fg --no-logo filename' and it works on the MD.  The MD is set to use VDPAU/auto.   However when I try to launch it with the orbiter it fails with: (xine player log below).    How do I check what the orbiter is using to call xine ?

I have exactly the same problem on my 0810 installation. System is uptodate. Codecs are installed. 

[tschak909]

xine-ui is not used. Xine_Player is a DCE device that links directly to libxine.

Please check /etc/pluto/xine.conf to be sure that it is writing out the configuration file correctly.

You should also check wizard > media directors, and check the Video Accelleration dropdown, to make sure it is set to auto.

Failing this, you should load glxinfo, and look at the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to see that the NVIDIA drivers are being loaded.

[nite_man]

Thanks a lot, Tom, for your informative answer. Will try to follow by your recommendations tonight and see what happens.

[nite_man]

Well, I set hardware accelerator to 'auto' for the MD. It didn't help. My xine.conf is here and glxinfo output is here. Will be very appreciated if somebody look at them and check if they are correct.

Thank in advance.

[tschak909]

your video driver is set to xv in the xine config. This is wrong. You have something set incorrectly in your media director's video configuration.

-Thom

[phenigma]

The driver is set to xv in my /etc/pluto/xine.conf file but VDPAU is working just fine with hardware acceleration set to VDPAU in the webadmin here.  HD content is playing on my ION with 10% cpu usage.  I believe that video settings in /etc/pluto/xine.conf are ignored now.

I run vdpauinfo and it didn't give me any info about VDPAU. It seems that there is some problem with nvidia driver on my installation. At the beginning I downloaded and installed the driver manually. But now it's done using package. So, possible there is some conflict. I think the easiest way is make a fresh installation 0810.

[phenigma]

Are you running an 8300 GS?  The 8300 supports vdpau (except certain h264 streams) but the 8300 GS does not support vdpau.

According to lspci out put I have 8300 (integrated):

Code:

VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8300 (rev a2)

Unfortunately I cannot find any other information in the spec of my M3N78-EM. But where you find information that 8300GS doesn't support VDPAU? I thought that all cards series 8XXX and 9XXX should support it.

[phenigma]

A GeForce 8300 supports VDPAU, but a GeForce 8300 GS does not.  See: http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/195.36.15/README/supportedchips.html.  

Even though the GeForce 8300 supports VDPAU there are different feature sets that different cards support, see http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/195.36.15/README/vdpausupport.html the 8300 supports feature set B with the exception of certain H.264 streams.

Turns out my problem was xine_player was using /usr/local/lib and my source compiled xine was using /usr/src.  Thanks lsof | grep xine.
I removed the files in/usr/local/lib/xine and rebuilt the library cache with ldconfig.  Now xine_player is using the correct plugins.

Somehow during my troubleshooting /usr/bin/xine lost the ability to play VC1 files through vdpau.  Xine_player log below.

I looked at the code, if size is zero, there there is a demux problem.  This is the 1.1.16 code branch for xine-vdpau.

Anyone know whats wrong ?

[nite_man]

It looks like GE8300 works incorrectly with the latest nvidia drivers installed in LinuxMCE - http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=10062.0.

How can I re-compile just pluto-xine-player from source ?

I don't see anything I the developers sections about just one package.
Assume I have setup a chroot, thats already run all the prepare scripts for a full build.

HI !!
i reinstall linuxmce 810 (version 14/05/10) but xine player don't play hd movie (.m2ts) with vdpau but xine player play hd movie with xv or opengl !!
same thing with mplayer !!
Before hd movie with vdpau ok
there is a solution to solve this problem ?
Thanks
