[Request]MPlayer with vdpau support?

Rehto · 2009-02-18 11:05:47

Thank you buddabrod for the packages, mplayer is working great.
I just noticed that I get some serious tearing like vsync isn't working.
How about you guys?

P.S. I also have to disable desktop effects in KDE 4.2 to get decent framerate...

Just noticed this one:

installed smplayer as mplayer frontend and I am getting the following error

The error is because the version of Mplayer that you're running has to be recompiled against the faad2 in the repos. What does this have to do with VDPAU support in Mplayer?

venky80 · 2009-02-28 04:56:06

oh coz i was using mplayer from this repository, oh so maybe i should wait for an update from this repo
Thanks

On another topic i have dragon player which uses the xine backend and I have xine from this repo, I am not getting any sound but i am getting the video

In order to use vdpau, do you have to specify codec and video output manually on a CLI? Is there no way for mplayer to automatically detect "oh, vdpau can be used here, let's use it" or "vdpau doesn't support this, fallback to 'normal codecs and video output'" ?

It IS compiled against faad2 from extra

pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libfaad.so.1
/usr/lib/libfaad.so.1 is owned by faad2 2.6.1-2

Check if faad2 is installed correctly.

Edit: The latest revision wont compile and I wont fix anything I expect it to be fixed upstream soon.

I wasn't thinking about the fact that I have testing enabled. I have a feeling that venky80 might too. faad2 in testing has a so bump. I only installed it to look anyway; I don't use it because Mplayer and FFmpeg have been able to decode aac streams for months without it.

skottish · 2009-02-28 19:09:43

For everyone's info:

The nVidia drivers that are going into testing today have both the vdpau and cuda headers included. Thanks Arch!

You can always select the vdpau video output, even if you use a codec that isn't supported by VDPAU. About the codecs, I have no idea.

Okay, this will work with all movies? I mean, if vdpau output is used, it will accelerate what it can, and play everything else "unaccelerated"? (best of both worlds)

oh so basically it will be fine when faad2 is out of testing repo..;)
thanks
Also does this mean there will be no more nvidia updates in this repo, since arch now has vdpau in nvidia?

No if you only select the VDPAU output it doesn't excelerate anything. This only happens when you select the right codec. But it saves you to have to select the video output every time you want to use vdpau.

ok got faad2 and ffmpeg dowgraded and then installed smplayer, now I am getting the following error

I dont know how to remove all those flags in mplayer command which smplayer is adding

nevermind I solved it , it was by removing subtitles

ok, so what is the optimal way to get a mplayer with vdpau support at the current time?

Checkout their svn repo and use that. nvidia dropped support for their own stuff and they will not provide further vdpau patches. At least not officially.

I'm about to create a proper PKGBUILD for that.

venky80 · 2009-03-03 21:53:05

so no vdpau for mplayer? or does mplayer devs have to do it by themselves?

It's already done I dont know if they adapted nvidias patches or wrote something on their own, but there should be support already.

Developers from nVidia worked along side of both FFmpeg and Mplayer to get this done. At least one of them helped out to create the hardware accelerated API that's going into FFmpeg right now (which means into Mplayer also). There's no need for nVidia to provide any patches, and there hasn't been for a while now.

If anyone cares, there's now talk of porting over Mplayers VO code to FFmpeg. That means the FFplay will be able to use a bunch of different output drivers. It also means that new players can start building on that.

buddabrod · 2009-03-03 22:29:24

Alright, I added mplayer-svn to my little repo and removed mplayer-vdpau-svn since I see no need for it anymore. Vdpau support of mplayer-svn works great^^

Here goes the PKGBUILD. It'll be in AUR soon, too.

skottish · 2009-03-03 22:34:32

Mplayer picks up on vdpau without having to do anything to the PKGBUILD. My Mplayer-svn build is nothing but 'disable' lines and I have VDPAU support. I'm just letting you know because any Mplayer-svn build will automatically factor this in unless told not to.

That is right, but there are no mplayer-svn PKGBUILDs around and the latest build in [extra] does not support vdpau.

The only thing I did to the PKGBUILD is to add --enable-vdpau. Just to force it :-)

I wonder why that is? As I said, I do nothing in my PKGBUILD and Mplayer automatically detects it. There is no reference at all to VDPAU and it works. I'm not suggesting that you're wrong, I just think that it's strange.

Maybe I am wrong. I'll check it again.

Edit: WHat do you mean by "my PKGBUILD". Do you maintain the one from extra?
I checked it and there is no vdpau support. At least not in the precompiled package. iirc somewhen a week ago mplayer and ffmpeg picked up vdpau support.

No, I don't maintain the one in extra. I have a subversion PKGBUILD that's based on the one that was in AUR quite a while back. It's mostly a front end to FFmpeg-svn, so I don't post it anywhere usually. The configure line is entertaining though, so I'll post that:

  ./configure --prefix=/usr --confdir=/etc/mplayer \
      --disable-gui \
      --disable-faad \
      --disable-faad-internal \
      --disable-faac \
      --disable-faac-lavc \
      --disable-libdv \
      --disable-aa \
      --disable-mencoder \
      --disable-liblzo \
      --disable-speex \
      --disable-fribidi \
      --disable-smb \
      --disable-openal \
      --disable-x264 \
      --disable-esd \

      --disable-tv-v4l1 \
      --disable-tv-v4l2 \
      --disable-tv-teletext \
      --disable-v4l2

And the size of the binary is pretty cool too:

pacman -Qi mplayer-svn | grep -i size
Installed Size : 3896.00 K
