[Announce] VA-API/VPP Support for vdr-plugin-softhddevice

johns · 8. Juni 2015

In the next days i submit the OSD patch for VDPAU and VA-API to my GIT.

The VA-API Part may be unchecked.

Hi,

ich überlege gerade ob ich als nächstes VDR-Bastelprojekt einen Mac mini (Late 2014) zulegen soll: Specs (CPU/Grafik: Intel Core i5 "Haswell" mit Intel Iris 5100)
Eigentlich bin ich mit dem Mac mini 2010 (mit Nvidia GT320M) ganz zufrieden, etwas mehr Performance würde aber nicht schaden, und man könnte ggf. einen besseren Deinterlacer nutzen.
Würdet ihr erwarten dass mit dem 2014er Modell softhddevice mit vaapi schon stabil läuft?

Gruß maz

After my test in february I retried it with newer versions. On the one side I was surprised about the beautiful result without nvidia. But on the otherside there are „droping frame“ - especially in fullscreen mode.
What is the difference to your setups? Please help me...

Thanks a lot
Stefan

My Hardware:
- Asus B85M-E
- Intel G1820 (Haswell)
- 2x 2 GB RAM (512 MB der GPU zugewiesen)

Opensuse 13.2
- softhddevice http://github.com/pesintta/vdr-plugin-softhddevice
- ffmpeg 2.6.3
- mesa 10.7~git20150703
- xf86-video-intel 2.99.917
- vaapi-intel-driver 1.5.1
- libva 1.6.0.pre1

Start with „-P 'softhddevice -a hw:0,7 -d :0.0 -g 1280x720 -v va-api' \“
- 576i: Deinterlace MotionCompensated, Field Order 0/2
- 720p: Deinterlace none, Field Order 0/2
-> No „Frames drop“, everything is perfect, the picture is a dream!

Start with „-P 'softhddevice -a hw:0,7 -d :0.0 -g 1600x900 -v va-api' \“
- 576i: No Frames drop.
-720p: Frames drop

Fullscreen (1920x1080):
Frames drop on 576i and 720p.

With va-api-glx the result is bad. There are breaks, crashs and window isn't scaleable.

I try to compile softhddevice (http://github.com/pesintta/vdr-plugin-softhddevice) and get the following error any hints ?

Code

softhddevice.cpp:1106:29: error: ‘PreAvFilter’ was not declared in this scope

You should install the missing ffmpeg dev - Packages

Code

sudo apt-get install libswresample-ffmpeg-dev libavresample-ffmpeg-dev libswscale-ffmpeg-dev libpostproc-ffmpeg-dev libavfilter-ffmpeg-dev libavformat-ffmpeg-dev libavdevice-ffmpeg-dev libavcodec-ffmpeg-dev libavutil-ffmpeg-dev

Hello,

It's seems that the last libva-intel-driver master git break vaapi deinterlace.

black screen or fixed display.

i use kodi and softhddevice (vaapi vpp) and both don't work for live tv.

in vdr log:

Zitat

Jul 29 14:02:35 [vdr] vaapi/vpp: Wrong number of forward references. Needed 0, got 1
Jul 29 14:02:35 [vdr] Changing to 0 forward reference surfaces for postprocessing_

If i unpatch commit:

VPP: Combine the CSC/Scaling together to optimize the performance

that work like before.

I open 2 bug report :
http://www.mail-archive.com/li…desktop.org/msg03175.html (open)
http://trac.kodi.tv/ticket/16161 (closed)

So could someone confirm the bug ?

Thanks.

I already diasbled #CONFIG := -DDEBUG in the make file

Hi,

New asrock n3700M, I installed debian sid, pesintta softhddevice.
Same horizontal bars on all resolutions.

Somebody already found a resolution?

greetings Rene

ddd · 22. September 2015

What kernel do you use?
There was an bug in <= 4.0 with the Braswell CPU's, see post 2 here http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=231955

fnu · 22. September 2015

There seems always a bug with anything of Intel, either kernel, either driver ...

rvdb · 23. September 2015

ddd

kernel 4.3.0-040300rc1-generic.

Ironmonster · 23. September 2015

I thinks its not related to a specific vaapi, kernel, ffmpeg or intel-driver version.

I tested with pretty every recent version i could find.

Now that we have another report with the same Issue on a Asus n3700M I think its just related to the braswell CPU/GPU und softhddevice.

I gave up trying to get it to work and use Kodi now for TV and Media on my Intel nuc5cpyh.

rvdb · 23. September 2015

Well, some more testing:

if in video.c line 4122 I put a break just after
"case VAProcFilterColorBalance:"

Thus disabeling the colorbalance filters, the bars are gone !

The N3700 should be perfect for a HTPC, but for now the
N24 ticker is still better on XBMC

Do you use https://github.com/pesintta/vdr-plugin-softhddevice/ ?

Sadly I cant test it atm.

rvdb · 23. September 2015

Yes, pesintta

rofafor · 23. September 2015

So, what does your log say about "video/vaapi: Supported color balance filter count" ? Maybe the driver announces invalid capabilities for your platform....

rvdb · 23. September 2015

video/vaapi: enabling color balance filters
video/vaapi: Supported color balance filter count: 4
Hue (-180.00 - 180.00 ++ 1.00 = 0.00) (pos = 2)
Saturation (0.00 - 10.00 ++ 0.10 = 1.00) (pos = 2)
Brightness (-100.00 - 100.00 ++ 1.00 = 0.00) (pos = 2)
Contrast (0.00 - 10.00 ++ 0.10 = 1.00) (pos = 2)
video/vaapi: skin tone enhancement supported
Wrong number of capabilities (0) for filter 0x00000005

rvdb · 24. September 2015

Hmm, I believe line 4166
now: VAProcFilterColorBalance, colorbalance_caps,

should be : VAProcFilterColorBalance, &colorbalance_caps,

This is not a solution for the bars, but it does fix the segfault when entering the menu
video - 576i etc. (and also -v va-api-glx)
(there are probably more)

rofafor · 24. September 2015

Thanks for the hint.

Could you disable the color balance filters one by one and bisect what's the nasty one?

rofafor:

I already did that,

no matter what filter is set, as soon as
decoder->filters[decoder->filter_n++] = filter_buf_id;
is hit, no matter what the contents of cbal_param the problem exist.

NB there is also a smal problem with the tone filter, in VaapiSetupParameterBufferProcessing
cap_n == 0 so no buffer is created
And also the & is forgotten in vaQueryVideoProcFilterCaps
