VC-1 playback under vdpau broken? - pat1975 - 2009-10-14

Hi!

I used the 22528 version some time now which worked very well.
Now after the big directx-merge and waiting for things to settle a bit I tried to compile a recent version from svn (r23699) and experienced some problems with VC-1 playback.

Tried different HD-films (BD-rips) like X-Men 1/2/3, Iron Man, Baraka, etc..

All with jumpy playback. Looks like people do 3 steps forward, then 1 back.

h264 coded films run perfect.

I use XBMC on an Zotac ION (so VDPAU is in use) with nvidia 185.18.36.

Can someone confirm that VC-1 is broken?
And do the devs know about this?

If no, I would open ticket.

Thanks,
Patrick

Is this the same issue?

I'm asking because of that post: http://www.xbmc.org/forum/showpost.php?p=417873&postcount=57

The recent regression with vc1 content was due to the update to head ffmpeg. VC1 performance is still dismal with respect to previous ffmpeg vc1. TeamXBMC is aware of this.

Hi davilla,

thanks for this information.

should be fixed in 23716, 23717. please pull and re-test.

Sorry. Pulled and built.

Now, no video at all (VC1). I hear sound but screen stays in menu ??

h264: no problems

built and pulled which ? you will need a make clean for this. r23717 will force a bootstrap/configure as configure.in was touched.

23718.

Did:
make clean
./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-pulse
make

Like everytime :-)

Is it known which ffmpeg revision broke VC1? I haven't noticed any major changes to VC1 in months.

The 0.5 ffmpeg release that happened before 9.04 release. We reverted for that one too.

you are running vdpau Smile

ERROR: ffmpeg[ABB35B90]: [vc1_vdpau] Incomplete extradata

That's a different problem now. Back to the drawing board.
