[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1756380] Re: vaapi VP9 hardware decoding not working anymore in bionic
That's right. I would recommend avoiding i965-va-driver-shaders and use only i965-va-driver. The latter should be more efficient and supported by Intel. But you do need to ensure your hardware is new enough for VP9 decoding. Only Intel 7th generation (Kaby Lake) and later chips support VP9. That said, if you have older hardware (Sky Lake or older) then it sounds like i965-va-driver-shader might be the next best option.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1756380] Re: vaapi VP9 hardware decoding not working anymore in bionic
18.04 should really get the new driver, whether it's easier to do before or after release I don't know but it should be done. For some reason Debian hasn't added it yet but that shouldn't stop Ubuntu from doing so. In addition to bug symptoms there are other advantages to going to 2.1. For example there is a new interface for EGL interop, vaAcquireSurfaceHandle() in libva 2.1 but you need the 2.1 driver to implement. So while the 2.1.x driver will certainly be available via ppa's before too long Ubuntu should plan on providing in 18.04 as best achieved. ** Changed in: libva (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to intel-vaapi-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1756380 Title: vaapi VP9 hardware decoding not working anymore in bionic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-vaapi-driver/+bug/1756380/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1756380] Re: vaapi VP9 hardware decoding not working anymore in bionic
I can confirm this bug exists. OS version: Ubuntu 18.04 beta rc Hardware: Intel core i5 7400 (Kaby lake processor) with Intel HD graphics 630 supporting VP9 10-bit and 8-bit video decoding. In version 1.8.x of the driver the VP9 decoding is broken, the corresponding upstream patch got into 2.0.0. But since VP9 profiles are missing in 2.0.0 driver in Ubuntu, hardware acceleration is absent, so high cpu and power usage. The buggy driver 1.8.x is used in the vlc snap too and snap developers doubt the driver version in snap will be upgraded. * VP9 decoding broken in 17.10 * VP9 decoding broken in snap packages * VP9 decoding broken in 18.04 beta rc Either driver version has to be updated to 2.1.0 or at-least cherry pick a one line patch to current Ubuntu core snap, a link for which I will mention below. Upstream driver patch: https://github.com/intel/intel-vaapi- driver/commit/9d66570032fb02b1e79a883af7697b035d700a8e Upstream bug report: https://github.com/intel/intel-vaapi- driver/issues/297 In any way kindly support VP9 hardware decoding via supported Intel hardwares in 18.04 or in 17.10(by backporting/cherry picking) or atleast via updated snap core/apps. ** Bug watch added: github.com/intel/intel-vaapi-driver/issues #297 https://github.com/intel/intel-vaapi-driver/issues/297 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to intel-vaapi-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1756380 Title: vaapi VP9 hardware decoding not working anymore in bionic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-vaapi-driver/+bug/1756380/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
