vdpau

I'm having trouble with a Noveua Driver and vdpau

This started with me hunting down a firefox problem that said

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

I installed the firmware according to this site

http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/VideoAcceleration/

I installed MESA but it is still not functioning

[ruben@workstation mp3.2]$ dmesg | grep -i chipset
[ 9.401874] nouveau [ DEVICE][0000:00:05.0] Chipset: C51 (NV4E)

bleach · 2014-12-08 06:46:53

i think thats what nouveau-fw is for. I installed it for actual flashplugin though. I use mpv and in that i use

vo=vdpau
hwdec=vdpau

and have no problems.

for mplayer I think it needs to be built with vdpau support not sure if the one in the repose is.

edit: i see this in the wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MP … ling_VDPAU, and make sure libvpau mesa-vdpau is installed. your chip says nv4e is that not between NV41-NV50 vp1 and thus not supported yet. a more detailed list is here

Didn't i say i ran that already? It doesn't work, though. I had to run it by hand. the makepkg -S didn't produce a xz file for pacman

and have no problems.

There are problems. I installed mesa (I said that in the first post. Am I missing the point you are making?

just trying to be thorough check my edit.

Ah - you seem to be right. Thank You.

What a pleasant way to waste an evening chasing a non-existent bug. Firefox is wearing me out. Why toss a "critical Error" message like that up and cause the system to seize when that is not even an error. I've really thought the Novaua drivers have been causing my system to freeze up.

According to this page,
VP1: NV41-NV50 (GeForce 6, 7 series, GeForce 8800 GTS)
VP1 N/A N/A TODO TODO N/A TODO

Which meant it was on a todo list and so I thought that is why I needed the firmware.

It doesn't say that the VDPAU was nonexistent for that chipset.

In fact it says:
Firmware

VPE1/2 do not require any firmware to run. However, VP1/2/3/4/5 all require firmware to operate that is presently extracted from the NVIDIA binary driver. We cannot redistribute the firmware directly in linux-firmware because NVIDIA's license forbids redistribution of parts of their driver.

This is a VP1

and then is says in a note for a VPE:
3 Works on NV40+, fails on NV31/34/36.

WHAT? Completely confusing.

looking at the feature matrix it says it is done for that card, that is all very conflicting though I would trust that although you may need to get the git version or latest one not sure. not really sure why it is conflicting like that. i have the nv50 branch so I had to get the firmware from the propriety bit.

vpe1/2 it says n/a, and vp1 it says todo not sure if we are looking at the same thing. vp2/3 it says extfw(propritay firmware for that little bit)

oh I see it ya the vp1 may be a mistake or what it will be or is not sure because of the conflict.

hopfully someone with that chipset can verify anything for it.
