Dear Sebastian, Sorry for not replying earlier. Seems both your answers didn't reach me. I was looking at the pkg-multimedia mailing list and found your answers.
I am subscribing to the bug so this doesn't happen. Replying to your queries - a. So I guess you are not running this from a terminal running in X? a. I AM running this from a terminal running in X. b. Or you do not have i965-va-driver installed, which you should get automatically if you do not have recommends disabled. b. Wrong again. I do have i965-va-driver installed. $ aptitude search i965-va-driver i i965-va-driver - VAAPI driver for Intel G45 & HD Graphics family Please let me know if you need any more details. I have been seeing this in videos I have been playing (and some refuse to play at all which used to play earlier) - (+) Video --vid=1 (*) (h264) (+) Audio --aid=1 --alang=und (*) (aac) [vo/opengl] GLX not found. [vo/opengl] GLX not found. [vo/vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 1 [vo/xv] No Xvideo support found. [vo/sdl] SDL_CreateRenderer failed [vo/sdl] SDL_CreateRenderer failed [vo/sdl] SDL_CreateRenderer failed [vo/sdl] SDL_CreateRenderer failed [vo/sdl] No supported renderer libva info: VA-API version 0.39.4 libva info: va_getDriverName() returns -1 libva error: va_getDriverName() failed with unknown libva error,driver_name=(null) [vaapi] vaInitialize(): unknown libva error [vo/x11] Warning: this legacy VO has bad performance. Consider fixing your graphics drivers, or not forcing the x11 VO. And this happens on different systems, one which needs and has the i965-va-driver and the other one which is a much more dated system. Dunno if this gives you any more clues or not. I am using mpv as my video player. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8
