[SOLVED] Codecs for playing video

I use intel default and i got bumblebee under my nvidia 840M. Hybrid graphics works fine on my laptop, fine enough for steam games fun.

The only main problem I have with my arch linux is that I can't get VDPAU or VA-API to work.
I have to dual-boot with other distro when I want to watch the new GoT episode 1080p because arch linux codecs don't work.
This is how I stumbled uppon the existance of "Hardware video acceleration" after reading Codecs wiki and tried to install va-api, uninstall, install it again, install vdpau instead, reinstall graphics drivers, unsintall everything and try again but no success...
What's frustrating is that I can livecd a manjaro and this works out of the box, I don't even have to care about the existance of va-api or vdpau and I wonder what libs of codecs are installed there to make it work that I lack on my archlinux or that are broken

I have VLC and mplayer installed
both are not functional (either slow, jumping frames or showing green or gray glitches) at playing 1080p MPEG-1/2 videos
It's been more than a month of trying new things and googling for solutions
I have came to places that say that 840M (my GPU) has buggy driver and VDPAU doesn't work
but then how does manjaro and other distros do it out of the box? Do I really need to have VDPAU or VA-API to play 1080p unkown codec videos? if not, please guide me, I don't know what to follow in order to learn this.

I might be old here but I'm still a newbie.

Here are some outputs:

DRI_PRIME is set to 1
VDPAU_DRIVER is set to nvidia

Thank you for you time and pacience.

SOLUTION: Was installing a different video player, in my case, mvp.

Re: [SOLVED] Codecs for playing video

Are you using the intel or nvidia driver to play them? You should use VA-API for Intel and VDPAU for Nvidia, so it makes a difference.

Re: [SOLVED] Codecs for playing video

So you're using Intel. Did you set vlc to use VA-API under Input/Codecs and set the Output to OpenGL under Video, both in the Preferences?

Shouldn't it look like this ? I'm using vaapi with xv accelerated processing.

what's wierd is that in other distros (and same computer) vlc doesn't even need libva to play same video codecs. The output is this:

I've tried pacman -R libva but it doesn't let me, it says it would break xyz packages.

Also on my other laptop in which I never cared about installing vdpau ou va-api it plays fine with this output:

I don't understand what's your point pekka.
That line is from the output of the arch computer in which VLC is working fine on playing that video; I don't think I need internet connection to watch a video I have saved on the HDD.

Re: [SOLVED] Codecs for playing video

Progress so far:

I have forced pacman to remove libva and tried to open a video that needs libva and VLC doesn't display video anymore but it still plays audio and from the audio I can tell it's still jumping frames when it outputs "ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called..." at the console suggesting it's not libva problem or VA-API it's probably something else.

Re: [SOLVED] Codecs for playing video

From my limited experience I find that vlc doesn't play very well with hardware video acceleration, I have always used vlc as a last resort player without video acceleration and used other players for hardware video acceleration (mplayer with vdpau before, and now mpv with vaapi).

Thank you for you time and pacience.

This doesn't make any sense. This is not output from "$ vdpauinfo" but from "$ vainfo".
If you are trying to make vdpau work then you need to set the variable you VDAPU_Driver="nvidia" but for libva (the command you typed before) the correct variable would be LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME="vdpau".

If you want libva to work with intel not nvidia you need to install extra/libva-intel-driver to provide i965_drv_video.so.

I had mplayer-vaapi from aur installed and it didn't work so I have removed to install mpv and wow, everything works on mpv! Thanks a lot!
The only down is the lack of subtitles search integrated extension.

I am trying to get anything (either if it's VDPAU or VA-API) to make VLC work on playing these videos.
I have tried VDPAU before and was never succesfull.
I didn't know I had to set LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME="vdpau".
Everything is so confusing in arch's wiki page (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ha … celeration). Actually, they mention that i have to set LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME to vdpau but in "configuring VA-API" section and not in "configuring VDPAU" section.

VLC's VDPAU support should work well. I think, I haven't actually tried. It's the VAAPI support and the opengl output that are kinda meh. For example, the VLC devs have expressed an interest in having mpv's opengl code turned into a library that VLC could reuse. Because mpv simply rocks that much smile

I don't think it's a pain. But I also think that wiki page is *still* way too convoluted and confuses more than it helps. For example, I'd drop any mention of wrappers (libva-vdpau-driver, libva-xvba-driver and libvdpau-va-gl) and just focus on what each GPU/driver supports natively. That would cut down on the clutter and lead to a better experience for the user - wrappers are inefficient, if they work at all. Once you do that, it comes down to this:

Intel: VAAPI - install libva-intel-driver
nvidia proprietary : VDPAU - install nvidia-utils
AMD proprietary: VDPAU - install libvdpau-amdgpu-pro
nouveau and AMD open: VAAPI - install libva-mesa-driver, VDPAU - install mesa-vdpau

The above is not very confusing now, is it? Definitely much simpler than all those tables at the wiki. When you stick to that, there's no need to set any variables or some such.

BTW, your example is correct for nvidia proprietary (though I'd drop the VAAPI part, due to what I said above about wrappers), but Eye has a hybrid graphics setup, and using nvidia for hardware decoding in such a setup is a no-go. Eye will use Intel for decoding, so it's like I wrote above - install libva-intel-driver and no need to set any variables. And consequently forget about VDPAU, there is no VDPAU for Intel.

I have the feeling your issues are not with hardware decoding, but with VLC simply being incapable of dealing with that particular file.

I must confess to not knowing anything about hybrid graphics setups and their special needs.

I do like your ideas for simplification about that page. I would wrapper configuration should be included *somehow though. Certain programs prefer and expect one or the other and it can be useful to have both configured properly in my opinion.


EDIT:
As a consequence should the OP install libva-intel-driver and remove the variable set to use the nvidia card for VA-API?

Yes, exactly that. Remove all variables to prevent any conflicts. Applications configured for VAAPI will automatically look for i965_drv_video, which the libva-intel-driver package provides.

You are correct. I have installed smplayer and works just as good as mpv and has subtitle search option. It is a bit ugly but the interior is what matters the most so perfect!

Maybe I'm just unlucky. With my previous laptop with an RV610 card using vdpau things didn't work very well either, it was very prone to crashing, but maybe because the gpu hw video decoding support is not very robust, however if using mplayer with vdpau it worked a lot better.

Now I'm using a laptop with an Intel integrated GPU and I've setup both vaapi and the vdpau wrapper and vlc craps out with both.

Re: [SOLVED] Codecs for playing video

smplayer and mpv are not a good combination. smplayer tries to use mpv as if it was mplayer, but it's not, which results in doing things that are counter-productive with mpv. baka-mplayer is better in this regard, it uses mpv as it's meant to be used, via libmpv. And contrary to its name, baka-mplayer is exclusively a mpv frontend. No idea if it has built-in subtitle search though.

'Solved' by using mplayer instead.

Edit: mplayer plays it at 0.5 of the speed (the video, not the audio)...
