Mplayer-vaapi, interrupted by signal 11

Hello there,

I've been trying to get mplayer to use video acceleration, but it still crashes. I tried reinstalling, changing xorg.conf, but it just doesn't work.

My specs are:
Kernel 3.0
Radeon HD 5650 + catalyst 11.10
mplayer-vaapi (lastest from community repo)
libva 1.0.15
xvba-video 0.7.8
Xorg 1.10.4

Here's what mplayer says:

$ mplayer movie.mp4 -vo vaapi:gl -va vaapi

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode video
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
  Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
  disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
  gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
  DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.

And here's vainfo output:

$ vainfo
libva: VA-API version 0.32.0
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0".
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_drv_video.so

      VAProfileVC1Advanced            :	VAEntrypointVLD

I'm not sure if the "Xfree86-DRI" error has something to do with it, but I can't get rid of this either.

And in the end, here's the xorg.conf:

I use vaapi with my ati card and I had similar errors. With ati's vaapi you can't have any of mplayer's video filters on. I can see that it's trying to use filter ass. Do you have that in your mplayer config file?

Re: Mplayer-vaapi, interrupted by signal 11

Yes, I do, however disabling ASS doesn't change anything. I still get the same error.

Here's my mplayer config: http://pastebin.com/QmiTBbCU

Re: Mplayer-vaapi, interrupted by signal 11

I see your problem. To use vaapi you can't use lavadopts threads. Comment out that line and it should work.

Re: Mplayer-vaapi, interrupted by signal 11

Well, that's strange. I was pretty sure it worked before with lavadopts. Thanks for help.
And one more question... Does vaapi work with mplayer windowed? Because for me it works only in fullscreen.

It works for me windowed. What happens in windowed mode for you?

Re: Mplayer-vaapi, interrupted by signal 11

The frame at which I've pressed F stays on the screen until I return to fullscreen.
By the way, vaapi also makes subtitles look bad. They're very low quality in fullscreen, very blurred. With vaapi disabled they look fine. I remember I've had this problem before, but now I can't find my old config nor the solution. I think it had something to do with mplayer not scaling subtitles size when entering fullscreen...

Re: Mplayer-vaapi, interrupted by signal 11

That's odd mine doesn't do that. I don't have any subtitle videos to test the blurring effect with. My mplayer config is:

[default]
fs=true
vo=vaapi
va=vaapi
ao=pulse

[gnome-mplayer]
fs=true
vo=vaapi
va=vaapi
ao=pulse
msglevel=all=5

Re: Mplayer-vaapi, interrupted by signal 11

Well, I've checked how it works in smplayer: windowed mode works, but subtitles are still blurred.

Re: Mplayer-vaapi, interrupted by signal 11

I found some subtitle files but I can't reproduce the blurring effect with mplayer, gnome-mplayer or smplayer. They all work fine. Maybe you want to start with a fresh mplayer config file and see if they are blurry with the default config.

Re: Mplayer-vaapi, interrupted by signal 11

Hmm... That's strange, even with fresh config I still have the same issues. I wonder why it happens with vaapi, but but with vo set to gl there's no problem.

Re: Mplayer-vaapi, interrupted by signal 11

I'm running catalyst 11.11 with xorg-server 1.11. Maybe upgrading will fix it? I tried reverting to the version you have but I can't reproduce it. It is a very odd issue. Just if you upgrade don't use xv on any player it makes xorg crash.

Re: Mplayer-vaapi, interrupted by signal 11

After full system upgrade nothing's changed. I guess I'll stick to gl until I find a solution.
I know there is a solution somewhere, because I've found it once. I just can't find it again...
