do you configure it to use libvaapi and opengl? I have
the Painter set to OpenGL, and am using the VAAPI profile,
but the test videos are not running correctly.<br>
<br>
Standard Definition will not run under VAAPI. I get .5
second of Audio with a blank screen. I can play it using
OpenGL, and my CPU usage ranges from 30% - 125%, varying
on OpenGL quality.<br>
<br>
High Definition does work, but uses huge amounts of cpu.
VAAPI uses about 200% CPU, and OpenGL Slim consumes about
160%.<br>
<br>
The intel drivers and libvaapi packages on my system are
outdated (Oct 2012), There are newer drivers on the
website. Should I manually update the software packages,
or is there something else I should try before that?<br>

<div>I just upgraded to mythtv-0.26, and want to
enable/try VAAPI on my mythbox. I haven't
been able to find any instructions for
settings it up on 0.26. I've only found this
on the wiki for 0.25 (<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VAAPI" target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VAAPI</a>).<br>
<br>
I'm wondering what additional packages or
steps 0.26 requires in order to use VAAPI. Do
I still need to install libbluray1, libmad0,
or gtk2-engines-pixbuf (as referenced by the
wiki)?<br>
<br>
CPU is a Core i3-3225 w/HD4000 GPU<br>
Mythbuntu 12.04 (libva-intel-vaapi-driver and
vainfo packages installed)<br>
mythtv-0.26 (Playback Profile set to VAAPI,
and Paint Engine set to OpenGL)<br>

Well, I have set up vaapi to work with Intel's
driver installer and then I am using a profile for
vaapi in the video settings. You have to configure
it to use libvaapi and opengl (there is a variant
with va, I think, in the name). <br>

<div>Careful with the top-posting</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Anyway.... if I were doing VAAPI I would start
by using the drivers here: <a href="https://01.org/linuxgraphics/" target="_blank">https://01.org/linuxgraphics/</a>.
Someone recently posted success using them.</div>

Hi, <br>
<br>
it was me who posted success with the drivers from the link above.
It was just one post before your initial question, you might have
missed it. <br>
<br>
It worked perfectly, I installed the package from above page,
started a script that is inside that package, which adds the
necessary repository and from there, installs all the necessary
packages and versions that you need to run vaapi acceleration. At
least, for me it did, on ubuntu 12.04. <br>
<br>
It works with Ubuntu 12.x and Fedora. <br>
<br>
Try it, I would be interested in hearing if you were successful. <br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div style>Indeed you did post your success... but made no mention of the source you used for the drivers... at least no in this thread. I believe it was you who referenced <a href="http://01.org">01.org</a> a couple of days ago though, and for that I thank you... I can't believe I hadn't seen that site sooner.</div>
