[SOLVED] Intel HD Graphics Hardware Video Acceleration not working

Dear experts,

I recently bought a mini computer to make a media center. So far, everything has been kind of easy to set it up; it booted kodi standalone using lightdm autologin, autoconnected to wifi with networkmanager and automounted media devices with devmon autostarted at launch.

I chose this mini pc because it has a Celeron N3350 with a Intel HD Graphics 500, which has hardware video acceleration for H.264 and HEVC among others. Sadly, I have been unable to make it work.

I installed mesa, xf86-video-intel, libva-intel-driver and libvdpau-va-gl.

The xorg log file shows (I guess) a correct output, pointing the DRI driver to i965:

[    23.969] (II) intel: Driver for Intel(R) Integrated Graphics Chipsets:

However, vainfo outputs this:

vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

Exactly the same outputs shows kodi if I run a h264 encoded video.

I tried to follow the configuration chapter on the wiki (Configuring VA-API), but had no luck applying the environment variable. I don't know what else could I try to make it work.

Does someone know what should I do?

Thank you in advance.

Re: [SOLVED] Intel HD Graphics Hardware Video Acceleration not working

Your /usr/lib/dri directory is missing i965_drv_video.so, which is weird because the libva-intel-driver package should have installed it. Reinstall that package and check that i965_drv_video.so is there in the /usr/lib/dri directory, that's the only thing I can think of.

Re: [SOLVED] Intel HD Graphics Hardware Video Acceleration not working

What's the output of 'uname -a' and 'pacman -Q linux'? What's the output of dmesg?

I uninstalled it and forced a new download and it worked. I'm sure I tried it before ugh. Anyway, I thinks it's working now!

Kodi also seems to use it as it shows the same first 5 lines.

Not that sure if VA-API as a backend for VDPAU is working correctly, as it shows many "not supported" codecs, including HEVC. But to be honest, I'm fine like this as I can tell Kodi to just use VA-API.
