[LINUX] HOW-TO use VAAPI HW Acceleration on AMD Zacate (Fusion) platform

Krautmaster · 2011-04-16 10:28

yeah but are the actual github files not patched already? vaapi looks fine so far but i dont know how to start catalyst control center now (want to overscan + auto deinterlace)

Edit: how to apply ur patch?

Edit: works absolutely smooth without patching using lars dharma-pvr release

Edit: really cool! due to the fact, that xvba does not accelerate mpeg , SD interlaced LiveTVcan be deinterlaced with cpu power. Works fine with Zacate! Usability is as good as with i3 2100
On the intel system, with VAAPI enabled, live TV stutters.

Edit:

To fix the Sound Problem:

Quote:add "options snd_hda_intel index=1" to the bottom of "/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf".

Edit. Okay sometimes i have this problem with this stuttering VAAPI mode. Does the patch help there?

the OP said to use the latest libva, libva deva and xvba

are these the correct ones?

Thanks for this topic.
The patch seems to fix my playback problems.

I also got some errors when I patched xbmc, but when I checked the vaapi file all the changes were made.

hi!

I'm getting the same output from vainfo you are getting (ASRock E350M1). is/was this correct?
I'm getting a ton of strange blue shades in the XBMC GUI and playing back a movie just gives me total chaos with mostly green "puke" Undecided

i tried following this tutorial on the forums here...

Guys !

This patch is already in trunk so no need to apply again !

Cheers,

Alan

Krautmaster · 2011-04-27 14:31

thx Alan!

I prefer the older 10.0 Versions of xbmc, they run much more stable for me.

Thats why i asked for how to patch these older Dharma release

**alanwww1** · 2011-04-27 19:01

Sorry i just have no time nowadays. I think you can patch older releases easy, with manually looking for the corresponding lines and change - insert the things we have in the new patch. Just use a text editor, with no problem. Sorry but i don't have time for this now.
