Hi,

I can't use VDPAU to decode my video with Kodi on my Zorin OS and my old 8600 GS card (nouveau driver).
Hardware decoding options are listed and enabled in Kodi but it still uses the CPU to decode my Mpeg4 videos.
vainfo says VAProfileNone.

Do you have any idea? This is the link to my post on the Zorin forum (with screenshots and more details).

Thanks Smile

We don't support VDPAU via nouveau as there is no GLX interop supported.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Hi,

Ok thanks, so nothing to do apart from successfully installing the Nvidia driver or changing the graphics card, right?
