Intel driver update broke XBMC

ironicbadger · 2014-03-24 18:27:43

I upgraded a few packages relating to Intel this afternoon and it ended up giving me a black screen in XBMC when trying to play video. Fixed by downgrading libva in the end. My log is below in case it helps someone else.

Also just discovered my libnfs update of a few days ago broke NFS for XBMC as well. Two breakages at once! Cor blimey.

Ive had the same issue, even compiling against the latest versions with the latest git source does not fix the issue. I dont use NFS so I cant comment on if thats broken for me too.

Intel-dri was updated a while back (03/15) while intel libva drivers where pushed yesterday for update. I have a feeling they are causing the issue with video playback.

toki · 2014-03-25 23:06:21

Same issue here (the video playback one)...

However, instead of downgrading, the following worked for me (I don't have the english interface, so the options may be labeled a little different):
Go to Settings -> Video -> Playback and disable "hardware acceleration (vaapi)".

Now video playback is working again. So there seems to be an issue with the VAAPI, but I have no further clue so far.

graysky · 2014-03-26 18:38:32

Has anyone reported this issue upstream? Chris Wilson is very good about fixing but only if he is aware there is a problem: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/

noahsark1126 · 2014-03-27 15:46:05

I have the exact same issue. Will try to acquire a debug log later.

Downgrading to the following fixes it on my haswell. No time to troubleshoot further to see which package is to blame or if a combo of them is to blame.

libva-intel-driver-1.2.2-2
xf86-video-intel-2.99.910-1
intel-dri-10.1.0-2

I think the culprit might be intel-dri actually; I initially downgraded libva-intel-driver and xf86-video-intel but that did not fix the black screen; downgrading intel-dri did (but again, I have the two older versions of the other two now).

noahsark1126 · 2014-03-27 21:28:26

Interesting, that is a bit different from me. I first downgraded xf86-intel and libva-intel, like you, and it didn't fix the problem. Then I downgraded libva, which worked. I did not touch intel-dri. Also on Haswell.

graysky · 2014-03-27 21:35:44

U restart X in between downgrades?

noahsark1126 · 2014-03-27 21:36:57

yes, restarted X, not a full reboot. I will try to play with it more later.

arfoll · 2014-03-28 08:34:31

Downgrading to libva 1.2.1-2 (from 1.3.0-1) fixed the issue for me. On Ivybridge (i3-3217U). Did a full restart but it worked after an X restart.

graysky · 2014-03-28 18:22:02

@arfoll - I can confirm this on my Haswell. Updated system --> no playback of some files; downgraded libva to 1.2.1-2 (restart X) --> normal behavior.

EDIT: Upstream bug report added.

Confirmed identical behavior.

graysky · 2014-03-29 12:21:18

I can also see an error from mplayer when attempting to play a file, but I believe mplayer will auto fall back which is why it still plays:

And with xbmc started from a shell. I attempted to play an x264 video three times each time using a different video output setting shown below.

1) No vdpau and no vaapi; video played.

2) Just vdpau enabled; video played.

3) Just vaapi; video did NOT play.

Hi,

about:
"Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_i965.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

according to redhat,
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73507
https://lists.rpmfusion.org/pipermail/r … 15413.html
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=999315

we should have symlink

/usr/lib/vdpau/libvdpau_i965.so -> /usr/lib/vdpau/libvdpau_va_gl.so

and no more need to
export VDPAU_DRIVER=xxx

graysky · 2014-03-30 10:26:55

@Spirit - I added that symlink but still got the mplayer errors. Can you confirm otherwise?

MagicBobert · 2014-03-31 04:50:51

Same behavior here. Downgrading libva and libva-intel-driver to 1.2.2-2 fixed it.

oschmidt · 2014-04-01 16:35:20

I have only installed libvdpau-va-gl and XBMC works.

zorrivel · 2014-04-07 22:40:15

Same behaviour on a Haswell Core i3. H.264 videos play with VAAPI off and MPEG4 videos play with no problem whatsoever.

Spoon3er · 2014-04-13 11:37:09

Same here on a Haswell i5 4570 with DEBIAN jessy
For me works out to downgrade BOTH

libva to 1.2.1
libva-intel-driver to 1.2.2

working:

libva info: VA-API version 0.34.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so

libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA-API version: 0.34 (libva 1.2.1)
vainfo: Driver version: Intel i965 driver - 1.2.2

not working:

libva info: VA-API version 0.35.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so

libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA-API version: 0.35 (libva 1.3.0)

responded to https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ with additional logs

fphillips · 2014-04-14 07:34:20

Try an abs-built xorg-server 1.15.1. It worked for me with everything else current. Tested with mythtv on ivybridge.

Spoon3er · 2014-04-15 18:14:09

This commit fix the issue for user with xorg-server < 1.15.1.

I would just like to add to this. Intel intergrated using i915

vdpauinfo returns:

display: :0   screen: 0
Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_i965.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Error creating VDPAU device: 1

however libvdpau_i965.so does not exist so cannot be symlinked:
