I'm just getting started in understanding the VAAPI use in Mythtv and have a couple questions concerning it's use. I have read through countless posts and basically understand that VAAPI isn't complete but should be usable without deinterlacing. I'm currently using a core i5 2405S and an Intel DH67CFB3 motherboard itx and Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit via Mythbuntu with fixes. I setup a playback profile for VAAPI using VAAPI Acceleration for the decoder, Openglvaapi for the render and opengl2 for the osd render and none for deinterlacing. When I try to play a tv recording either 720 or 1080p, I hear audio for a second then I get a blank screen then Mythtv restarts. I have attached the frontend log but I don't see any error when the problem happens. Now a bit of history. I followed this post:<br>
<br><a href="http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/501091" target="_blank">http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/501091</a><br><br>Which follows an XBMC post to get an Ubuntu system working with VAAPI. The user says he has a working mythtv .25 with VAAPI (The user has been very helpful). I followed the steps which were pretty simple:<br>
Install<br><font color="#0000FF"></font><font color="#0000FF"><span style>sudo apt-get install libbluray1 i965-va-driver vainfo libmad0 gtk2-engines-pixbuf</span><br style><span style>Mythtv .25</span><br style>
<br style><span style>So my questions:<br>My attempt at get VAAPI working has failed...what is the problem / error in Mythtv?<br>Does Ubuntu 11.10 come with all the needed software to support VAAPI?<br>
Is there a way other than the VAAPI selection in Mythtv to know if VAAPI is being used?<br>Any advice would be appreciated.<br><br></span></font>
