Bug#604687: vlc: xvideo output not working on powerbook (radeon video card, powerpc)
It works! Great work, thank you so much. If you need to see the output from vlc after this patch, I can post it here, but I'm guessing that won't be necessary. Thanks again, Pavle. ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers
Bug#604687: vlc: xvideo output not working on powerbook (radeon video card, powerpc)
Remi, Thanks for supplying the patch. I managed to compile it after some trouble with a missing libavcodec. I then ran it with '-vv' and '--vout xv' args. Output is attached. Hopefully you can make some sense of it. Thanks for your efforts, Pavle.

Bug#604687: vlc: xvideo output not working on powerbook (radeon video card, powerpc)
Remi,
Thanks for your help. I'd be more than happy to perform any further tests and
maybe try some patches. I wouldn't know how
to debug this myself so I can't do it on my own. If you have any ideas please
write and I will try to build a patched version and test it.
Also, to me it seems like this might be an issue with Xserver rather than VLC.
From what I remember, I tried various players and they all
performed poorly (I'll test some players again to confirm). The only player
performing well was mplayer, which is what makes me think that
this is not a VLC issue. Maybe the real issue is radeon driver, but
unfortunately there is no proprietary version available for ppc. But these are
all
guesses (and I should add uneducated guesses).
Cheers,
Pavle.

That's to be expected when using OpenSSH.

Of course, if mplayer uses XVideo and VLC plain X11, this is like
comparing oranges and apples. Video over SSH should be slow anyway, due to
bandwidth constraints, and CPU-hungry encryption.
Anyway, I have no further ideas other than stepping through the VLC code
and I cannot test this myself so I have to leave it there.

When running VLC with --vout x11, it manages (barely) to play video on remote X
server, although it prints out errors such as:
[0xa26f8fc] xcb_x11 generic error: shared memory server-side error: X11 error 10
[0xa26f8fc] xcb_x11 generic: using buggy X11 server - SSH proxying?
Interestingly enough, mplayer works fine under the same circumstances and
produces a video stream that is almost watchable,
only appears in slow-motion.___

Bug#604687: Same issue here on macmini G4 ppc
Experiencing the same issue on macmini G4 ppc with a Radeon 9200 card. Mplayer works fine, VLC does not. Noticed further issues with Xserver:1) When running Xorg -configure, X crashes with the following message: (excerpt)List of video drivers: radeon mach64 r128 ati (++) Using config file: "/root/xorg.conf.new" (==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d" (II) [KMS] No DRICreatePCIBusID symbol, no kernel modesetting.

Server aborting 2) syslog shows messages like: (don't know if it matters)Oct 11 00:17:47 macmini kernel: [ 1756.527455] radeonfb :00:10.0: Invalid ROM contents Oct 11 00:17:47 macmini kernel: [ 1756.527589] radeonfb :00:10.0: Invalid ROM contents 3) xdpyinfo lists XVideo among extensions, but doing a xdpyinfo -ext XVideo results in the following message: XVideo extension not supported by xdpyinfo BTW I upgraded xorg server to testing version, and since then I noticed one improvement:xdriinfo now says "Screen 0: r200", whereas before it said "not direct rendering capable". Again, no idea if this has any connection to the XVideo issue. Also, I installed firmware-linux-nonfree, and noticed better performance (when running glxgears), but no joy with VLC. I'd be happy to run any sort of tests and provide any kind of information needed to fix this bug.
