vdpau on ion330

[maverick0815]

I have an md running on an ion330. When I'm trying to run any HD-movie, the TV stays black, I can hear sound for about 5 seconds, then the player crashes. Is there a way to check what happens?

[phenigma]

Try looking at /var/log/pluto/XX_Xine_Player.log, on the MD, and see if anything shows there (where XX is the device # that Xine_player starts with on the MD).  I don't know if it will contain anything useful or not.

What format are the files you are playing in?  After reading your post I checked my ION 330.  My ripped .dvd files play fine with vdpau and my .mp4 files play (no proper handling of 5.1 AAC).  Some of my .mkv files play just fine and some have no video or audio, just a black screen.  I believe that xine has known issues with some .mkv format files.

[maverick0815]

well, some of them are mkv, but I've played those before even on lmce 7.10 without vdpau.

[niz23]

And you have enabled "auto" or "vdpau" as hardware acceleration in webadmin for the MD in question here?

[maverick0815]

okay, it seems I posted the same problem in two threads, I'm sorry...I will continue here.
I've set the hardware acceleration first to vdpau, tried and when it didn't work with those files, I set it to auto.
So far I can only play those files with xv- but with noticeable framedropping
I tried with one of my movies- this one is an mkv- and put a snip from the xineplayer log here. After that I have to reset the Md or else I can't play anything anymore.

Sorry. But the output you provided do not say anything useful.

You need to have the ssh client logging output before you start playing the file.
Otherwise I cannot see what Xine try to do with the file when you open it.

Unfortunately Xine have problems with several mkv files I have.
A fix for mkv is included in libxine-1.2 which we cannot use for several reasons.
I have not looked if it´s possible to backport the mkv fix in 1.2.

Is this more helpful? I did a screening as you said:

[niz23]

Look like libxine is unable to create any output form the file you try to play.

Atm I´m building an updated libxine with backported mkv demuxer from upcoming libxine-1.2.
It look like it build fine, but I have to test to see how well it work.

/niz23

[maverick0815]

sounds good to me, thank you very much

[maverick0815]

regarding videoplayback I am experiencing an instability issue besides mkv-files. I don't know if this is perhaps related to the nvidia-drivers or the vdpau-libraries. Like last night- I was watching some TV and then wanted to watch a few episodes of my favourite series. The first file played fine, the second behaved just like I described with the mkv-files. I had to reboot the MD twice before it would eventually play the file.

[niz23]

My backport of Matroska demuxer from libxine 1.2 seem to work fine.
The tests I have done allow me to play all mkv I have on my core.
Several of them can not be played with the version of libxine we have now.

Further tests need to be done to make sure stability is good enough.

Niz23,
I would be willing to test this out on my system if the process isn't to difficult for me to undertake.
Let me know.
thanks,
Krys
