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system are outdated (Oct 2012), There are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).

<div>Careful with the top-posting</div>

</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>
<br>
Regards, <br>
<br>
Matthias<br>

I was able to download and install the ubuntu 12.04 64bit package
from <a href="https://01.org/linuxgraphics/" target="_blank">https://01.org/linuxgraphics/</a>.
Unfortunately, the intel-linux-graphics-installer fails while
performing the diagnostics. It is able to find my Intel graphics
card, but fails when retrieving information from <a href="http://01.org" target="_blank">01.org</a>. The
installer says that the diagnostics finished with an error, but
little else. There doesn't appear to be a way enable additional
output.<br>

Are you inside a proxied environment? On their page they say that in
that case you might have a problem. <br>
