I get sound, but no picture. If i run mplayer without the extra options i get a picture, but no hw acceleration.

I run catalyst and have installed xvba-video and mplayer-vaapi. The card it runs on is ATI HD 6310 over HDMI
Any ideas or tips on what I can do?

$ vainfo

I guess its clear, but i dont know how to fix it. When i type mplayer -vo help it says that I have vaapi.

Hey I got the same problem with the same card, after install the new kernel and fglrx, i guess, before that mplayer works fine:

I rebuilt the module with

% sudo /usr/bin/catalyst_build_module all

then reinstalled all the xvba related packages mentioned in Arch Wiki then rebooted.

Now plain mplayer doesn't work. I must specify -va vaapi and -vo vaapi switches. Then it works. Otherwise X will crash.

David Batson · 2011-12-16 01:16:49

I don't really use mplayer, but I noticed with VLC that I had to turn off hardware acceleration in VLC preferences for VLC to work. Might need to do something similar in mplayer when not using vaapi.

lamnk · 2011-12-17 00:52:37

Dunno, I work around the crash issue by adding "vo=vaapi" in .mplayer/config

The new Tear-Free-Desktop feature is really nice, it noticeably improve picture quality in videos.

Thanks! I installed ubuntu and followed that guide, it worked out nicely.
I guess i'm not ready to take the arch step on to the desktop yet.
