mplayer vdpau

[jusst]

hi,

this looks really promising, although it seems to be too slow to properly decode the daily opera-broadcasts at astra hd. after a few seconds mplayer reports too many frames in buffer... if it would be of interest I could post a sample clip

anyway, I tried to play around a bit with the options and tried to enable deinterlacing, so I added this to vo_vdpau.c after vdp_video_mixer_create:

        VdpVideoMixerFeature features[1];
        VdpBool enables[1];

        features[0] = VDP_VIDEO_MIXER_FEATURE_DEINTERLACE_TEMPORAL_SPATIAL;
        enables[0] = VDP_TRUE;
        vdp_st = vdp_video_mixer_set_feature_enables(
            videoMixer,
            1,
            features,
            enables
        );
        CHECK_ST

running that it gives:

vdp_video_mixer_create(1, 0, NULL, 3, {0, 1, 2}, {1920, 1080, 0}, -)
    -> 0, 22
vdp_video_mixer_set_feature_enables(22, 1, {1}, {1})
    -> 15
Error at libvo/vo_vdpau.c:699

any hints on that? - is deinterlacing not yet supported?

UPDATE: I recognized that I need to request the feature first. Doing this, the player runs, but no deinterlacing seems to be done. Seems like the feature is not yet implemented?

regards,
julian

philipl, this XID is a known issue we're investigating. I can't say right now if it's related to why the decoder_create is failing. I would say the best thing is to wait until we've fixed that, then try again. Sorry I can't be more help.

De-interlacing is already supported and should work. However, for anything other than bob/weave, you'll need to supply more fields than the current frame to the video_mixer_render function to provide the necessary history that the algorithms require (see vdpau.h for details). This is not implemented in the current MPlayer patches.

However, you should be able to enable bob and see a difference.

I see, I think currently no deinterlacing happens because VDP_VIDEO_MIXER_PICTURE_STRUCTURE_FRAME is set in vo_vdpau.c...
Will fiddle around a bit with it.
Actually what I am even more curious about right now is how far performance-improvements are to be expected?
All high bitrate H264-ts streams I have do run out of sync until mplayer spews messages telling me that the video-buffer is full...
You might grab a short sample here: http://www.jusst.de/files/sample.ts

Does mplayer have the sync issues without vdpau? I've had issues with mplayer
and mpeg2 ts files for some time with respect to sync. you may try "-demuxer lavf"
and see if that helps.

First of all: I love this VDPAU .
I played a m2ts file with only 3-4% cpu load on 1 of 4 cores.But how do I enable bob deinterlacing?
Also it seems that the aspect of my movies are not correct, and I can't switch through the aspect ratios using mplayer.

I'm assuming you got the m2ts file from a bluray rip ; those videos aren't interlaced , so why would you want to enable the deinterlacer?

The sync issues only happen with high bitrate streams - it is the same with lavf demuxer. It seems really to be caused by too slow decoding in the graphics card?
Did you have a look at the sample I linked?

I still get the error at line 826 even after extracting a h264 track from a mkv file. I get this:

I tried several files which were working before with no success.

EDIT: I now tried a recording from mythtv with "$ mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffmpeg12vdpau /home3/Multimedia/TV/13060_20081117201500.mpg"
The video is playing quite well but with less quality then XVideo.

Hey all. I'm getting this error:

Error at libvo/vo_vdpau.c:179

I'm running a 9600GT, with the 180.06 drivers.

What's up? : )

I have the same problem, with an 8600 GT (180.06 driver). Compiled with gcc 4.3.2 under gentoo.
