VDPAU testing tool

[P.Kosunen]

Didn't test yet. At least mplayer / vdpinfo doesn't work.

$ ./vdpinfo
display: :0.0   screen: 0
Error creating VDPAU device: 25

[vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 25
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.

I'll try manual install of driver.

What could be problem? Kubuntu beta 9.10 x64, nvidia 180.60, Asus laptop with 8400M G. Packages nvidia-180-libvdpau and nvidia-180-libvdpau-dev installed.

Please can you provide an nvidia-bug-report.

Also, please set the following environment variable:

export VDPAU_NVIDIA_DEBUG=3

Then re-run the app. This should print out some extra debug information, which will allow the problem to be diagnosed.

Thanks.

P.Kosunen,

Yes, please see the following thread, where I'll post any updates:

Well, it seems to be mostly working, just something is going wrong at the end.

Please post an nvidia-bug-report, run with "export VDPAU_NVIDIA_DEBUG=3", and run under gdb. Once hung, CTRL-C the process, and type the following commands into gdb:

bt
info sharedlibrary

Thanks.

Are you sure it hangs, or is it just waiting for you to close the window (or ctrl+C in console) ?

Hey, the framerates on those sample videos are extremely slow (like 1 frame every 2 seconds). Can that be right?

Also, isn't it strange it can't detect my card's VDPAU implementation?

I'll try those things you'd mentioned later, but here's the bug-report attached.

That has to be done by hand? I'd waited a good half-hour first.

??? That's not what your results say.

No, the API that supplies that information was only implemented in recent drivers.
