VDPAU? Sound when watching DVB-S2?
in [Debian]
|
From: lee on 18 Dec 2009 13:50 Hi, does the xine stuff used by kaffeine in Debian use VDPAU? If not, how can I make it use VDPAU? And how about the sound when watching DVD-S2 with kaffeine? I've installed the 1.0-pre2 version of kaffeine from experimental. That version finds HD channels, and I can see the movies, but there is no sound. So how can I watch and record DVB-S2 with sound? And then, how do I cut commercials out of HD recordings? Avidemux detects h264 but isn't useable with it; dvbcut doesn't detect any video when opening the recording. Cinelarra doesn't seem to do anything but create CPU load when opening the recording. Once the commercials are cut out, how do I get the recording onto a DVD to play it with a DVD player? Making DVDs works fine with non-HD recordings, but what about HD? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

First you have to have the nvidia driver 180.16 or newer, and from this: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Nzc1Nw it sounds like only Xine 1.2 has VDPAU. Sid, at least, has a pre-release version under the name libxine2 (version 1.1.90hg+...), but it seems like none of the other debian packages are built to work with it. Don't know about the rest.

There's a xine-vdpau version available --- I downloaded and compiled it, but kaffeine needs to be compiled to work with it, and I couldn't compile kaffeine: lee(a)yun:~/Inst/vdpau/kaffeine/kaffeine-1.0-pre2$ cmake src/ CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:29 (kde4_add_executable): Unknown CMake command "kde4_add_executable". CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt: No cmake_minimum_required command is present. A line of code such as cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8) should be added at the top of the file. The version specified may be lower if you wish to support older CMake versions for this project. For more information run "cmake --help-policy CMP0000". This warning is for project developers. Use -Wno-dev to suppress it. -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! lee(a)yun:~/Inst/vdpau/kaffeine/kaffeine-1.0-pre2$ Then I googled about that error message, and I might be missing some kde or qt things. But to get kde to work at all, I had to use one or another package from unstable or experimental because the dependencies in testing were broken. I'm not sure what I'm missing for compiling kaffeine, but it seems that I might mess up things even more trying to install those, so I gave up at that point. Apparently, mplayer is supposed to be able to use vdpau, and 'mplayer -vo help' lists it. But when telling it to use it, CPU load during playback isn't lower than with kaffeine: I doubt that mplayer does actually use vdpau --- or if it does, then why is the CPU load still high? How can I tell for sure if mplayer does use vdpau? > Don't know about the rest. Hm. Is mplayer eventually able to play HDTV with sound? I couldn't get it to work with the TV card at all because I couldn't find out what the format of the channels.conf it needs is and how to create one. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Mplayer most definitely supports VDPAU, I use it myself all the time. The one in debian-multimedia, in the testing repository. You need to use a -vc option as well as a -vo option. Put this in your ~/.mplayer/config: vc=ffh264vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau,ffvc1vdpau, vo=vdpau I also added these for DTS and AC3 passthrough via SPDIF (you may need to change "default" to something else): ao=alsa:device=default ac=hwdts,hwac3, I'm not at home right now, so I can't tell you what the exact output from mplayer is when it's using VDPAU, but it does tell you in its output when it's using it. As for using mplayer with a TV tuner card, I tried it once about a year ago to test out the card, before I set up MythTV. The channels.conf file can be generated by the "scan" command from the dvb-apps package.
