Re: play HD video on slow hardware via VDPAU...
« Reply #15 on: April 25, 2009, 06:58:48 pm »
Hi guys I have been introduced to LINUXMCE by a friend, and I have been trying it out for the past month.

One of my interest in being able to play HD on low end PC's, example sempron, celeron, nvidia-atom (when released),etc.

To my question.

When I try apt-get build-dep mplaper I am getting add url to sources.list. I am not sure what URL I should add for this.

On a side note, I am interested in providing assistance in creating device templates, as I am attempting one for the HVR-1600 which I got working with a kernel upgrade and through configuration with mythv, no success with the template yet.

Nice project guys - real nice -

add deb-src entries for each of your regular deb entries in the sources.list.

I did the apt-get update as suggested.

Am getting the following errors and still not successful with apt-get build-depo  mplayer.

I do know if this will make a difference, this is on an MD.

Gutsy is retired, so the apt sources are no longer valid. You need to change the URL to the new location. Can't remember which it is, but it wasn't archives.... it was something like old...., you can do a search on apt sources in the forum as someone posted it in the last week.

Hi,

Replace archive.ubuntu.com with old-releases.ubuntu.com in your /etc/apt/sources.list

Then do apt-get update <return>

And all should be fine.

The apt-get update worked, with some errors shown in the quote below, which I am assuming is expected

 Only thing,tried to play transformers, the m2ts file, initially the cpu usage was high, but drop to around 65% after introduction, the audio sucks, really comes in glitches video little slow, cpu usage still 65%.

I feel its the speed of the network from the core, this MD is a 100MB nic, on an ECS board. Had it lying around, bought it previously for a firewall solution, which is needed no more.

This board will not boot from the network, using the upgrade kernel 2.6.29, at set of nfs timeout errors - this could be I did crap, but another machine boots with the new kernel, can't use that, its my wife own.

Thanks guys. I am glad to see that this works as for CPU usage; great benefit for the project, makes the nvidia-ion platform possible.

Just and update

Tried it again, the cpu usage this time was 89 to 92 %, same problem as before.

Played the trailers, first with xine with 94% cpu usage, renamed the file to .m2ts, played with mplayer, and it played smooth, no problem, but cpu usage was 65% quiet and action was 93%.

mplayer -vo help produces:

If the decode is being handed off to VDPAU then I wouldn't have thought your CPU would have been anything like as high as that. I suspect that it isn't working - either the VDPAU is not being used for the decode, or you don't have a compatible nVidia chipset (needs to be 8xxx, 9xxx series or an integrated PV chip)

The numbers indicate VDPAU is not working as I get the same numbers with a regular 0710 with 180.44 Nvidia drivers.

Agreed Colin...people on the vdpau irc channel are getting completely different results to this...I would suggest that either vdpau is no working or that the card your using is not compatible with it. What card is being used in the test itsik?

I am using a evga 9400, from all indication, this card is supported.

nvidia driver 180.51.

Are there any other changes required for linuxmce, or it plays mplayer in /usr/local/bin

Just in case.

I will retry the process, I tar the MD files before doing this, so will I restore and retry, just in case I missed something.
