Hello to everybody

To start xbmc I use irexec and it works but it seems that xmbc don't use VAAPI
however, if launching from desktop launcher works.

This is the script that i use

Code:

#!/bin/bash
stamp="$(date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S,%N')"

if [ ! -z "$(pidof /usr/bin/xbmc)" ]; then
    echo "$stamp XBMC already running (/usr/bin/xbmc)" >> /tmp/xbmc-launcher.log
    exit 0
fi

if [ ! -z "$(pidof /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin)" ]; then
    echo "$stamp XBMC already running (/usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin)" >> /tmp/xbmc-launcher.log
    exit 0
fi

echo "$stamp Starting XBMC" >> /tmp/xbmc-launcher.log
amixer sset Master,0 100%
DISPLAY=:0 xbmc &

and .lirrc

Code:

# Start XBMC
begin
prog = irexec
button = KEY_MEDIA
config = /home/prot/xbmc-start
end

Is there a method to force the VAAPI?

Thanks
Thanks

vaapi has nothing to do with how you start xbmc.
provide a debug log when launched from your script.

ok i will provide the log ...
I do not know why but when I launch xbmc with irexec 1080p movie drops frame

[protezio]

this is the log when irexec starts xbmc

Code:

when I starts with the desktop launcher

Code:

Sorry for my English
Thanks

The problem is the user.

Your irexec script seems to be started with a user, that is not member of video group. If you do the same from desktop your user gets the executer and therefore it works.

[protezio]

I added my user to the video group

Code:

adduser user video

and

Code:

chgrp video xbmc-start

Irexec is lanched by user

doesn't work

You may have to reboot for group changes to take effect.

[protezio]

I rebooted but it still doesn't work

[negge]

Looking at the script again it seems you're running XBMC as root when you start it through irrexec. You need to use the su command to switch to the desired user.

[protezio]

it seems that all running with my user

Code:

proto  14172  0.0  0.0   2168   300 ?        Ss   12:13   0:00 irexec -d /home/proto/.lircrc

proto  14189  0.0  0.0   2232   544 ?        S    12:13   0:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/xbmc
proto  14198  107  8.4 482620 139812 ?       Sl   12:13   1:27 /usr/lib/xbmc/xbmc.bin

Code:

-rwxrwxrwx  1 proto  video         460 ott  4 11:59 xbmc-start*

I don't understand
I've got dc:ff-h264 instead of dc:ff-h264-vaapi in the video info panel
what's wrong

[protezio]

Finally
I've found the problem
I write for those who have my problem
I've canceled in /etc/environment

Code:

LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=xvba
LIBVA_DRIVERS_PATH=/usr/lib/va/drivers

which I had add on first try to solve the problem
And now it works

Thanks to everybody
