[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 961124] Re: Choppy video playback
It's not going to help with the older ATI Radeon Xpress 200M, but video decoding and playback on your ATI Radeon HD 6450 will benefit from the UVD support in the imminent (due in approximately one week from now) 3.10 kernel. This will be available at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ You will also need updated versions of libdrm, mesa and xserver-xorg-video-radeon, all of which can be found in the xorg-edgers PPA at https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa All of the above package versions are expected to find their way into the upcoming Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander which is currently scheduled for release on October 17th, 2013, as per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SaucySalamander/ReleaseSchedule -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/961124 Title: Choppy video playback To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-driver-ati/+bug/961124/+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

I created a bug report about this on freedesktop.org: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47776. The problem is related with the playback resolution, because if i shrink the media player's windows size to 400x260 the all videos are running smoothly. ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #47776 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47776 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/961124 Title: Choppy video playback To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/961124/+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 961124] Re: Choppy video playback
Yes, this must be a driver issue, because I checked it today with a laptop which has an Intel GMA X4500 and there was no stuttering. In fact this makes the open source driver useless, because under Unity 2D theres no stuttering, but I got video tearing instead on both machines (bug 792315) and the ATI X200M is not supported by the proprietary driver (Catalyst), so I'm unable to watch videos properly on 12.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/961124 Title: Choppy video playback To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/961124/+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 961124] Re: Choppy video playback
Thanks for the speedy reply. It appears, based on comment 2, that this is indeed not window manager-based but rather a problem with the ATI drivers. I'm going to go ahead and reassign. Other possibilities are bad decoding libraries but I doubt it as you tried with both Totem (gstreamer) and VLC (ffmpeg). ** Package changed: compiz (Ubuntu) = xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/961124 Title: Choppy video playback To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/961124/+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 961124] Re: Choppy video playback
Looking at your original description, though, you claim that Unity2D is unaffected. If this is true then I'm guessing that either the driver is having issues with compositors + hardcore video playback or that both compiz or mutter are having the same issue. ** Description changed: - Choppy video playback under Unity, but not Unity 2D with VLC and - Mplayer. Tried different video outputs, but none of them fixed the - problem. It looks like the video is running at about 20 fps, but both - VLC and Mplayer doesn't show dropped frames.
