Hi, I have an Ion based motherboard running on Ubuntu 10.04 right now, after various of problems facing Ubuntu and hardware compatibility, I finally come to point that I play my media files, but I noticed that my 1080p files will not play properly, giving only 8-12fps and 1.6MBits/s of data even with VDPAU turned on! when I view the playback information, it says FF-H264 only, when I watched some youtube videos, it shows as FF-H264_VDPAU, so I highly doubt that my VDPAU is actually in use.

However, I do not know where it went wrong that it doesn't play using VDPAU. I installed the NVIDIA Driver through System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers, I'm not sure if this has an effect, but the main reason i didn't install using repository is that there is no latest commands or the ppa no matter how I search for the 10.04 version, if anyone could give me a heads up it would be much appreciated! Thanks!

have you set the renderer to VDPAU under system->video->playback?

Yes, I did already.

try sudo apt-get install libvdpau1

Could also try adding the Nvidia repository

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa

then try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-195-modaliases nvidia-glx-195 libvdpau1

Also, pastebin a debug log

[betachild]

try sudo apt-get install libvdpau1

Could also try adding the Nvidia repository

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa

Sorry, I am kind of new to linux, how do I go about to pastebin a debug log?

the nvidia ppa is lacking in lucid nvidia-glx drivers..

if u are on karmic 9.10, u can try doing the nvidia ppa steps described a few posts before this one...

Didn't know the nvidia repo was lacking the lucid drivers.......

I think that this package should work.

Just download it then sudo ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-195.36.24-pkg1.run to install

64-bit version

This did the job! I am not able to play 1080p at 24fps! Thank you for all your great help, much appreciated.

[farbird]

are you on lucid or karmic?

They are refering to the ppa:nvidia-vdpau/ppa
where v 190 & 195 is missing. (last time I checked)

185 is workning fine for me though...

Well, if that's what they were talking about, the Nvidia repo has 190 and 195 last I looked (2 days ago when I reinstalled my system). You just have to specify which one you want.

[tomolac]

there are no lucid drivers in the nvidia ppa, and he said which one he has in the bloody title!
just run

sudo apt-get install nvidia-current libvdpau-dev

this will keep you up to date with close to the latest drivers, 195.36.15 at the moment. and install all the libvdpau deps.
