I don't think the libva+i965-va-driver in Wheezy repositories supports h264 on GMA 4500MHD:

MPLAYER DEB 720P

My CPU usage is around 40% while playing a 720p stream (Intel P8600 2.4GHz).

MPLAYER DEB DRIVER

Vainfo: Driver version: Intel i965 driver - 1.0.19.pre1Ī side note to help out a few audiophiles: Libva info: Found init function _vaDriverInit_0_33 Libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so and enjoy somewhat accelerated h.264 playback Let it checkout FFmpeg from git if it asks (Press ) User$ git clone -b hwaccel-vaapi git:///vaapi/mplayer.git vaapi-mplayer The vaapi-mplayer git page is here, for reference.

MPLAYER DEB INSTALL

Once you build vaapi-mplayer using make+make install then you can download your front end separately, build it, and install it. If you want smplayer or some other front end that depends on mplayer/mplayer2 you will need to uninstall it now to satisfy apt dependencies. Otherwise we need to build vaapi-mplayer. From the README (/usr/share/doc/libvdpau-va-gl1/README.Debian): < it is suboptimal, but a good workaround if the application does not support VAAPI natively. It uses VAAPI and OpenGL to accelerate video, presenting VDPAU to the application. You can also use libvdpau-va-gl1 which will allow you to use VDPAU in your applications. That way you avoid building mplayer with VAAPI support. It supports VAAPI.Īs a user, edit ~/.mpv/config to display the following: I recommend that you finish here and use mpv (an mplayer2 fork).

MPLAYER DEB DRIVERS

The drivers path should match the information here.

lib please leave a message and I'll fix the instructions.Ĭontinuing with the Intel driver now once libva meets the Intel driver dependency:

MPLAYER DEB HOW TO

If someone knows how to set the proper lib path (/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu) without appending an extra. Root# rm -rf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/lib autogen.sh -prefix=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu –with-drivers-path=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri User$ git clone git:///vaapi/libva libva_1.1 If your libva is too old we need to get new libva from git ( ), otherwise scroll down a bit until you see the ASCII Cat: (press to see more text (if available), to exit) User$ git clone -b g45-h264 git:///vaapi/intel-driver i965-va-driver-g45-h264Ĭheck to see that the libva version requirement in the README is the same or older than what vainfo tells you is on your system (apt-cache show libva1) (You need to open outgoing TCP port 9418 for git to work using git://, try or if you can't open the port) Root# apt-get build-dep intel-vaapi-driver So it would seem that I need to get the g45-h264 branch driver from here: vaapi.html (using wayback again) - it says H.264/AVC decode is supported on Intel® GMA X4500HD under g45-h264 branch Vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints

Vainfo: Driver version: Intel i965 driver - 1.0.17 With Debian Testing repos (main non-free contrib), I installed vainfo and i965-va-driver. Maybe it is there, but quite obscured behind the politics of business now. The new site is (really, it is '01.org') but I don't find the same information on the new site as the old. Intel recently revamped their open source project website and was killed in the process, hence the wayback archive link. Mplayer-vaapi was on splitted-desktop, with binaries I believe, but that is gone now. You need to compile the g45-h264 driver branch for vaapi on G45 series chipsets. Sandy/Ivy Bridge) you only need to compile mplayer-vaapi, install mpv, or use VLC with hardware acceleration enabled to get hardware accelerated playback.The main branch of Intel's Linux display driver provides VAAPI for Sandy and Ivy Bridge. It seems like it should be, although maybe with some issues once it is working.Īs el_Salmon points out later in this thread: if you have a newer chipset than GMA 4500MHD (i.e. Ultimately, I'd like this thread to be a how-to for people who want this to work on 'older' Intel hardware. about getting this to work, so here is my progress. I have not found anything recent in forums, websites, wikis, mailing lists etc. I'm trying to get hardware accelerated h.264 playback with mplayer on a Thinkpad with GMA 4500MHD graphics under Testing.
