Intel HD4400 VAAPI on XBMCBuntu
#1
Hey guys,

just setup my new ZBOX Nano ID67 with integrated HD4400 graphics and Intel Core i3-4010U.

Having trouble getting VAAPI to work though. Installed all needed Intel packages (I think ..) that I got on my main HTPC with a Core I3 and HD4000 as well.

vainfo is showing me this:

$ vainfo
libva: VA-API version 0.32.0
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva error: /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so init failed
libva: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit

packages installed:

libdrm-intel1:i386 install
libva-intel-vaapi-driver install
xserver-xorg-video-intel install
libva-dev:i386 install
libva-egl1:i386 install
libva-glx1:i386 install
libva-intel-vaapi-driver install
libva-tpi1:i386 install
libva-x11-1:i386 install
libva1:i386 install
vainfo install

Am I missing something? System is up to date, running xbmc 12.3 and:

$ cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu 12.10 \n \l

thanks for any help ...

Won't work, follow: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=165707 or wait until xbmcbuntu based on 14.04 will come out.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Hmm I don't really get that ... thought this thread would be about testing deinterlacing using vaapi? That's not what I am talking about. My first goal is to get vaapi to work at all ....

Yes and to get that going you need some newer libva and libva-driver-intel, which this howto provides. You don't need the deinterlacing part, but it does not harm.

to underscore what fritsch said, look at your vainfo output...
libva: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit
