Gray screen on playback of VC-1 video codec

[ardirtbiker]

Still at it!!!!


Tried the libxine2 posted in this forum... still no affect on playing mkv files with the vc-1 video codec (still a gray screen)

I tried switching the Hardware acceleration to opengl.. the video became a black screen....

tried an earlier version of NVIDIA graphics driver  (280.13)... no change.

Is anyone able to play these VC-1 video files using LMCE 1004 or even 0810?   I'd like to compare settings and version info.

Here is my video information (via lspci):
VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G92 [GeForce 9800 GTX] (rev a2)


Thanks,
Dennis

I see something similar with my mt2s files from my Canon AVHCD movie camera

Here is the latest libxine2 from the yavdr stable ppa repository from source only 2 days ago.  Try it out and let us know what happens.

phenigma... YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!!


Thanks...   I am able to watch the VC-1 video files just perfectly.


here is what I ended up doing since the libxine2 file complained about dependencies:

added both of these to my sources.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/yavdr/stable-vdr/ubuntu lucid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/yavdr/stable-vdr/ubuntu lucid main

then ran apt-get -f install... which pulled in the other dependencies and completed the installation of libxine2



again.. thanks so much.

Excellent!  Glad to hear it's working!

ooohhh... I may have spoken too soon...   Mythtv is now a black screen..

Further investigation... if VDPAU is set in Mythtv settings, the screen is black... if set to CPU+ or other than VDPAU, then video is visible.. I think it was updated from the above adds to my sources.list file.

I don't see any mythtv components in the yavdr repository...  Do you know which additional packages were pulled from the yavdr repo?  I installed the libxine2 package on my system without any additional packages being required (but I muck with mine a lot and have lots of additional packages installed already).

I think it was libvdpau... I re-installed the nvidia driver 285 series and all is well.


the other files that libxine2 needed were libavcodec, libavutil, and libpostproc

So, just so I have this correct... after installing the new libxine2 AND re-installing the nvidia 285 driver you have working video for mythtv AND xine from lmce?  All is working fine now? 

J.

[ardirtbiker]

that is correct... all stored videos work... mythtv works...   All is well!!

Thank you very much...

Glad it is working for you!

Hi Gents,

Do you think this will work only in 1004? I seem to have a bunch of other stuff that is too old for libxine2 using 0810:

the particular .deb file is for lucid (10.04).  I didnt see any files on that site for maverick (8.10).

You'd have to gather up all the dependencies and install them as well... and yes I found it tough!

Hi Gents,

Do you think this will work only in 1004? I seem to have a bunch of other stuff that is too old for libxine2 using 0810:

That package is for 1004 only.  Are you using libxine2 with 0810 already or are you using the stock libxine1 with 0810?

I have backported the package for 0810, havn't had a chance to test it.  When I do I'll post it.
