[Solved] MPV and hardware acceleration with Intel drivers

jasonwryan · 2020-11-26 04:44:34

I have an Intel only desktop: VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation UHD Graphics 630 (Desktop)

And whenever I start mpv, i get errors about the Nvidia driver:

mpv Videos/TV/The.Kingdom/The\ Kingdom.S01E01.avi 
 (+) Video --vid=1 (mpeg4 512x384 25.000fps)

Exiting... (Quit)

My mpv conf does not specify a hardware driver:

no-border
fullscreen=yes
stop-screensaver=yes
ao=pulse
sid=no

I have folowed the wiki with setting up vaapi: so I export the env variable export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME="i965" and I have the requisite package installed:

libva 2.9.1-1
libva-intel-driver 2.4.1-1
libva-utils 2.9.1-1

Why is mpv looking for the Nvidia driver? And why am I spammed with error messages about the driver failing? It is listed under /usr/lib/dri...

There must be something configuring mpv to ask for the nvidia driver, no?
I have an Intel only system with the same video card, and mpv plays fine with avi or mp4 files.
I'm running a non configured mpv, playing OOTB.
FYI not setup vaapi.
Installed files:

I can find any conf or evironment variable referencing vdpau... Removing the config entirely makes no difference. I'm stumped.

schard · 2020-11-26 08:34:20

What happens, when you start mpv with VDPAU_DRIVER=va_gl ?

V1del · 2020-11-26 08:43:21

I'm suspecting the underlying issue is that the initially attempted vo opengl fails and then it starts to search for not failing candidates.

Likely due to

mpv release notes wrote:

build: disable GLX by default

https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/releases/tag/v0.33.0 so the question is why is EGL initialization failing.

No difference:

My older laptop, running [testing], and with an Intel card, has no issues.

I suppose I just add reallyquiet to the conf file and ignore it...

You're sure it isn't the file?, just checking.

Issue with mesa's iris ? What vo is the older laptop ending up using? Give https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ver_(i965) a shot? Any xorg conf enforcing DRI2 ? Is glxinfo fine? From what I'm reading the narrative it shouldn't end up trying all of these other methods (... if you don't pass an explicit hwdec) unless the OGL one fails for some reason.

jasonwryan · 2020-11-26 19:39:27

Thanks V1del. The mesa driver override variable makes no difference. The output of glxinfo is here: http://ix.io/2FzI My only xorg conf is to set the dpi of the monitor.

qinohe · 2020-11-26 19:39:40

What do you get when 'playing';
mpv --vo=gpu --hwdec=vaapi drop.avi
?

Nothing good

qinohe · 2020-11-26 19:45:14

Hmm, I don;t have an answer right away, but it seems something is awry with the X env. (like your drivers)

edit: I don't know if plays a role really, but could you remove the vaapi export you created? ; 'export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME="i965"'
I didn't create this variable ITFP

I removed it last night and have since rebooted. I am working from as vanilla a setup as possible to try and narrow down the issue.

I also noticed that on my laptop, my user is in the video group. I didn't think this was necessary anymore, but to be sure I tried adding my desktop user to that group: no change.

That's right yes, you don't need to be part of that group anymore.
Well, something is setting it that's for sure.
Though I think you're able to troubleshoot yourself, you could leave 'env' output here so 'others can take a look;)

Yep, I don't use the intel driver on either machine; native modesetting works better for me.

qinohe · 2020-11-27 02:27:45

Okay, but it seems like it isn't right it still tries to find the Intel module?
When I set my env. 'native modesetting', X doesn't refer to the Intel module that doesn't exist.
So I don't know if that's also the problem for video not playing, but mine plays on modesetting.
I think there's a glitch in your config somehow.
If you wish I upload my X log;)

BTW the only xf86 tools installed are; xf86-input-evdev & xf86-input-libinput

Thanks. I get the same errors in the laptop's log. Maybe I'll install the intel driver and see if that makes any difference.

I agree that something is wrong, but I'll be damned if I can find it.

agapito · 2020-11-27 02:57:06

Probably related? https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=261047

I'm still suffering that issue.

jasonwryan · 2020-11-27 03:05:47

I downgraded mpv and libplacebo and got the same errors, and a couple more.

qinohe · 2020-11-27 04:17:28

So the next thing would be where that file or incorrect config would hide itself.
Let's first see in one of these 3 dirs,; modprobe.d modules-load.d or xorg.conf.d.
& nothing strange in xinitrc?

jasonwryan · 2020-11-27 04:32:13

No, I have been through all of them:

qinohe · 2020-11-27 05:03:38

What strikes me most about your X log is these many errors for things it tries to load that may not even be there in the first place.
For now I don't have a clue, I even took the liberty & went through your .dotfiles on Centurion but it 'seems' there's nothing wrong there too...:-(

jasonwryan · 2020-11-27 05:10:55

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've been trying all sorts of things and, with my limited knowledge of the graphics stack, it is a complete crapshoot.

I'm just going to live with the errors for the time being because I don't want to waste any more of my, or the community's , time on this.

V1del · 2020-11-27 07:45:48

Your glxinfo shows that you are using llvmpipe and thus your graphics acceleration is broken for all intents and purposes.

The xorg log shows it's loading swrast right out of the gate, might also be the old race condition that popped up quite prevalently with 5.9 and you might want to give https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … _KMS_start a shot (though it seems to be able to access the DRM device just fine). Also unintentional global export of e.g. LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=1 or so? What's your output for

LIBGL_DEBUG=1 glxinfo -B
dmesg | grep i915

Assuming you still want to indulge us here of course, but right now you don't have a proper acceleration setup.
