RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - Claudio.Sjo - 2013-11-04

Hi,
I found the following problem with my system (lubuntu 13.10):
in synaptic I find libegl1-mesa and libgbm1 that could be updated, but they cannot actually, because they depend
on libwayland >=1.2.1 but I have 1.1.0-2ubuntu3 and apt-get claims that those are the latest version.
Is there anything missing in the wsnipex/mesa repository?


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-11-04

apt-cache policy libegl1-mesa

I tried this on Sunday and all was fine.

I think you have some mixed other packages installed, e.g. from an older oibaf ppa?


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - Claudio.Sjo - 2013-11-04

I've installed libwayland from here
http://ppa.launchpad.net/wsnipex/mesa/ubuntu/pool/main/w/wayland/
Let's try if it works...

Not really,
this was quite a clean install, and I was carefully following instructions in post 1 of this thread.
Anyhow, I get this now
Code:
apt-cache policy libegl1-mesa
libegl1-mesa:
  Installed: 10.0~git1310201328.d2fdc0d6~saucy

Looks okay. Wsnipex is just rebuilding mesa packages (for saucy only) - if they work I bump the thread to Saucy - Those packages will include advanced deinterlacing.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - dirtydesaster - 2013-11-04

can you also please make a How to for the users they want to update from Raring to Saucy?


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-11-04

Upgrade Ubuntu (sudo do-release-upgrade) as normal and afterwards readd the relevant ppas (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade) - that's basically everything.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - fritsch - 2013-11-04

Okay. Now this howto uses Ubuntu Saucy as basis. I tested it working over the WE and wsnipex was so kind to provide new mesa packages for Ubuntu Saucy.

Those also include the new Deinterlacing works by Grigori which provide Temporal and Temporal (half) - quality is highly improved.

Just as a reminder: Deinterlacing is only useful and needed for interlaced content (LiveTV, etc.). Set Deinterlacing to Auto and the Method to Temporal.

These packages will be copied to wsnipex mesa ppa in some hours - They are not there yet - so take a sleep and be happy for tomorrow.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - deadite66 - 2013-11-04

will raring still be supported?


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - icemank121 - 2013-11-05

I successfully installed on Saucy this morning and working great except one thing, for some reason there are no "Add Source" buttons in the XBMC Nov 2 build in the xbmc-fernetmenta repo. You can in music, but not in videos. Since this is a fresh install I have no way to set up libraries. I checked all settings and the Add Source options are turned on. Any ideas?


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - laric - 2013-11-05

do it manually in .xbmc/userdata/sources.xml

Cause of mesa highly depending on llvm-3.4 the packages will stay as they are (mesa wise). Also the xbmc packages are updated on the same daily basis. New mesa features won't be backported.

@all:
As said two days ago: xbmc currently has its final merge window. Everything that you currently see (plugins not working, skin, instabilities) is cause of this - it will get better after November 10th. Though the addons need to be adapted.


RE: Radeon OSS with vdpau (howto) - Claudio.Sjo - 2013-11-05

I found an annoying problem with the new xbmc and the drivers.
I was capable of watching some streaming TV channels, but now I can only listen to the audio track, no video.
Is it a known problem?
Do you need the streaming source for testing?
