It took me maybe an hour to read through the manpage and migrate my mplayer settings, but mpv looks really great. Plus its install footprint is only 3 megs instead of 20 (including debug stuff). I was virtually an mplayer-only-user ever since I switched to linux. I tried mplayer2 long ago, but ditched it (I think due to the lack of mencoder). Recently I had been using vlc for playback with complex subtitles in Japanese anime series, but otherwise actually liked mplayer 1’s subtitle output, b/c it allowed for subs to be shown in the black margins below the video in fullscreen mode. -- Gruß | Greetings | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me with any Facebook service.

As you can see, ffmpeg is built with vaapi and threading support. I'm
pretty sure mplayer2 uses ffmpeg. I also seem to remember kernels 3.13
are required, as is mesa 9.2 (in the case of the NUC.)
I don't remember why I switched to mplayer2 now, but quite a while back
I was having a problem with mplayer and someone on IRC somewhere said to
try mplayer2. It solved whatever issue I had and I've been using it
since. Wish I could remember what it was though...
As I said, CPU usage as reported by top while playing 1080p with
mplayer2 was 80-90% so it must be doing it on the CPU. I tried playing a
1080i recording with mplayer with 5 channel audio and it takes 5-10%. I
know for sure xbmc and mythtv are using vaapi and it works beautifully.

Re: [gentoo-user] i965 (Valley View) video acceleration
Daniel, no rush, but I'm still curious how you got mplayer2 accelerating. I tried everything up to mplayer2- with -vo gl but no accel. Hi Grant, Now that I think about it, I think that maybe mplayer2 wasn't accelerating. If it was, it was because opengl was built with vaapi/vdpau support. It's possible that the N2820 in the NUC is powerful enough to do 1080p on the CPU without acceleration, and now that I think about it, i believe CPU usage was 80-90% - but I am also certain that the N2820 is an integrated CPU/GPU... I have to run off again. Hopefully tomorrow or Friday for sure I can look into it. Sorry for the delay... Work is hell right now :-( When you get a chance, I'd be interested to know which opengl package has vaapi/vdpau USE and also your output for: # eselect opengl list - Grant
Re: [gentoo-user] i965 (Valley View) video acceleration
No luck. Weird. It's working in xbmc so I can't be far off. What could I be missing? Sorry I've been crazy busy. I hope tomorrow I'll have some time to power up the NUC and check some settings. I'll get the USE flags and my /etc/portage/package.use if I have one, the profile I'm using and perhaps some versions of software I have installed. It turns out xbmc and vlc support both vdpau and vaapi. mplayer supports vdpau and also vaapi via libvdpau-va-gl (x11 overlay). I haven't installed mplayer2 but it sounds like it supports vaapi. Are all the smart people switching from mplayer to mplayer2? For me: xbmc accelerates, vlc does not, mplayer claims it's accelerating via vdpau in the console output but all I get is a black window. Have you tried vlc? Just got mplayer accelerating. I needed to upgrade from libvdpau-va-gl-0.3.4 to libvdpau-va-gl-. vlc is still a mystery. I got vlc accelerating by upgrading from libva-intel-driver-1.3.0 to 1.3.2 and launching vlc like this: $ vlc --avcodev-hw=vaapi - Grant

Re: [gentoo-user] i965 (Valley View) video acceleration
I can't seem to get video acceleration working on my Gigabyte Brix 2807 device which lspci identifies as Valley View. 1080p playback is still stuttery. I've tried every trick I know and Googled a lot. Could anyone throw me some suggestions? What kernel are you running? I had this problem initially with my NUC - I updated to gentoo-sources:3.14.14, enabled the vaapi thread globally, rebuilt, and forced mplayer2 to use opengl (-vo gl). After that, I am even able to play 1080p with no glitches. Apparently Intel made a lot of enhancements to the intel in-kernel driver with the 3.14 series. Acceleration is now working in xbmc but still not in vlc or mplayer. I'm recompiling some things and I'll report back. - Grant
