VAAPI assistance

Hello my hardware has:

So to me all looks good - but there is no hardware acceleration???
gst-inspect-1.0 | grep vaapi

returns nothing.

When I play the video with totem its taking way too much CPU.
I removed the ~/.cache/gstreamer* .

What have I missed ?

Thanks

Jerry

Re: VAAPI assistance

Long story short: libva-vdpau bridge is not in gstreamer-vaapi drivers whitelist
and it's basically unmaintained.

Thanks! - When I export the GST_VAAPI_ALL_DRIVERS=1 and re-run the gst-inspect-1.0 I do get vaapi data now.

however when I run totem it does not make a difference in the amount of CPU the process is taking.

I remove cache files, and I verified the above environment variable was set.

Thanks,

Jerry

Perhaps totem blacklisted vaapi drivers. I don't know.

Either way, precisely because of totem we blocked libva-vdapu bridge: it won't
work.

Thanks I did the command :

modprobe --showconfig | grep blacklist

gives a long list

modprobe --showconfig | grep blacklist | grep vaapi

shows nothing.

Is there something else I should look at ?

Thanks,

Jerry

Thanks,

VAAPI drivers are userspace drivers. So modprobe is meaningless.

Nvidia/vdpau adapter is unstable and may hang your GPU, we have disabled it for that reason. It's strange that distro will install such untested and I maintained driver in the first place, but this is the way it is at the moment.
