xbmc.log with debugging turned on. Btw. LiveTV is my primary scenario and it obviously works for me. Check the relevant output concerning glinterop and vdpauinfo.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-10-19

I updated the howto to now use 3.12-rc5 and some patches made by Alex Deucher, which fix the audio clock and enable audio without the xrandr hack, when adding radeon.audio=1 to the command line.

I kept the patch someone said would be needed for radeon si.

"unable to locate libg3vdl-mesa"

Having followed the instruction I got the above error message

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:wsnipex/mesa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install libg3dvl-mesa vdpauinfo linux-firmware

Thank you.

i would have to refer to @fritsch, or some of the other more senior members on this post.
hard to believe that there are just three of us out there with this hardware.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - ln17 - 2013-10-19

The first row is typing error, otherwise I do copy and paste everything based on the instruction.

you seem to be missing the linux image, linux-image-3.12.0-rc5_2.2_amd64.deb


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - gfisher - 2013-10-19

@fritsch that new kernel put everything in slow mo. Xubuntu desktop and pulse. I know not supported. Just FYI. I will dig deeper. Even YouTube music vids are in slow no. 7to10 fps.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - ln17 - 2013-10-19

Thank you. It was my fault.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-10-19

@gfisher:
I cannot reproduce - as I am running it since three days without issues before I posted the kernel.

If you boot the older kernel, all is fine again? It seems you miss some acceleration. Logfiles welcome.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - deadite66 - 2013-10-19

using the 3.12.0-rc5 kernel, working fine on my E350.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-10-19

Okay. For all with kernel problems, please file bugs on freedesktop. The AMD oss devs are keen to fix such issues, they are really helpful.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - xakep - 2013-10-19

I've seen couple of people with gentoo in this thread. Can someone share their ebuilds/overlays?


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - gfisher - 2013-10-19

Fritsch thx. I removed pulse and it works on the new kernel. But no sound. Xubuntu is sketchy without pavucontrol. I probably will have to reinstall to clean. The bigger issue is h.264 59.94p still skips too much, I notice it on playback OSD W moves 55-60. Both kernels. I suspect it is a model line or that 1080p is only getting 50fps on my test. Xvba and gt610 were good in this regard.
Edit - once I get sound working will post logs


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-10-19

add radeon.audio=1 or use the xrandr to enable it.

You cannot decode more than qvdpautest is able to decode, e.g. 59.94 won't work.
