[SOLVED] After latest Nvidia 270.xx can't find libvdpau

mplayer message:
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_nvidia.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It falls back to xv as output. libvdpau is installed and reinstalled.

This is with mplayer from extra repo and from mplayer-vdpau-svn. So there seems to be something with the Nvidia upgrade.
( i have a Nvidia gt 220 perfectly vdpau capable and it was working before the update)

cd /usr/lib/vdpau/

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: [SOLVED] After latest Nvidia 270.xx can't find libvdpau

Did almost that; locate libvdpau:
/usr/lib/libvdpau.so
/usr/lib/libvdpau.so.1
/usr/lib/libvdpau.so.260.19.44
/usr/lib/libvdpau_nvidia.so
/usr/lib/libvdpau_trace.so
/usr/lib/vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so
/usr/lib/vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so.1
/usr/lib/vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so.270.30
/usr/lib/vdpau/libvdpau_trace.so.1
/usr/lib/vdpau/libvdpau_trace.so.260.19.44

Looks mysterious to me! Your command gives:

lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root   20 18 mar 10.34 libvdpau_nvidia.so -> libvdpau_nvidia.so.1
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root   25 18 mar 10.34 libvdpau_nvidia.so.1 -> libvdpau_nvidia.so.270.30
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root 1,7M 18 mar 10.34 libvdpau_nvidia.so.270.30
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root   23  9 feb 13.00 libvdpau_trace.so -> libvdpau_trace.so.1.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root root   23  9 feb 13.00 libvdpau_trace.so.1 -> libvdpau_trace.so.1.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root  50K  9 feb 13.00 libvdpau_trace.so.1.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root root  65K 10 mar 05.03 libvdpau_trace.so.260.19.44

This is in /usr/lib :
cd /usr/lib
ls libvdpau*

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   34 10 mar 05.03 libvdpau_nvidia.so -> vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so.260.19.44
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   17  9 feb 13.00 libvdpau.so -> libvdpau.so.1.0.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   21 27 mar 11.46 libvdpau.so.1 -> libvdpau.so.260.19.44
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3,9K  9 feb 13.00 libvdpau.so.1.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2,6K 10 mar 05.03 libvdpau.so.260.19.44
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   33 10 mar 05.03 libvdpau_trace.so -> vdpau/libvdpau_trace.so.260.19.44

Seems a bit fishy with different vdpau libs in two different locations? Even reinstalled nvidia but no change.

Re: [SOLVED] After latest Nvidia 270.xx can't find libvdpau

you have mixed drivers. i guess you used once the nvidia installer and forgot to clean the mess. Here is how it suppose to look.

─[ ioni @ ioni-laptop ] - [ /usr/lib/vdpau ]

libvdpau_nvidia.so is owned by nvidia-utils 270.30-1

libvdpau_trace.so.1 is owned by libvdpau 0.4.1-1
libvdpau_trace.so.1.0.0 is owned by libvdpau 0.4.1-1

i say to force remove libvdpau and nvidia-utils, then delete any libvdpau files from your system and install them back.

also it would be nice to search for 260.19.44 and delete any other files

Thats' probably it! I have another kernel with Nvidia installed from *.run file. I'll clean it up and see what happens. Thx a bunch!

Never ever use the .run file directly. If you run a custom kernel, write a nvidia-lolcustom PKGBUILD for it. See the nvidia-lts PKGBUILD for an example.

Re: [SOLVED] After latest Nvidia 270.xx can't find libvdpau

SOLVED:
manually removed all *vdpau* files in /usr/lib and in /usr/lib/vdpau. Then reinstalled libvdpau, video-vdpau (maybe not neccessary) and nvidia-utils. Success!

Thanks for the help! Great forum! Arch is best!
