Re: [Nouveau] libva problem?

2018-05-03 Thread James 
It turned out to be a simple fix.

I set the "Dolby Surround" option in vlc to on instead of auto.

Thanks for you help.

 A52 Audio (aka AC3) (a52) works.
 It seems MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a) doesn't work.
 I checked a video that used to work and it doesn't work now.
 It has the mp4a codec also.

 The one that used to work shows this in Tools/Messages:

 The new one that doesn't work shows this in Tools/Messages:
 vdpau_avcodec error: decoder profile not supported: 8

 I think it might be related to the noveau video driver:

Well, you don't need it to play back video. You only need it for
GPU-accelerated video decoding (which is what you get when using
va-api or vdpau). See
https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/VideoAcceleration/ for the
details.

I didn't need firmware before but it looks like I do now.
I will look into that.

What GPU do you have? For video acceleration (i.e. va-api and vdpau),
did you install the necessary firmware?
