MPlayer with VDPAU support. For users with Nvidia cards

I just thought I would share this in case anybody hadn't heard about it. With Nvidia's never drivers they have implemented vdpau support. vdpau basically takes hi-definition video (720p, 1080p, etc) and passes off the processing to the video card gpu instead of your cpu thus freeing up your cpu for other tasks, this is especially useful for mythtv users and htpc's. Unfortunately I learned through trail and error that this is not as straight forward as I had hoped but now that I got it working I thought I would share my steps.

Before you start thought make sure you have a nvidia card that supports vdpau, here is a compatibility list http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU#Supported_Cards I'm not sure how current this list is but basically any card from the geforce 8 and series and on should work.

1) Install nvidia's proprietary binary video driver. I am not going to write a howto for this since there are dozens of posts on the forums for this. Once this is installed and working correctly proceed to step two.

2) Ignore (deleted)

3) you need to recompile MPlayer for vdpau support, There are a few issues here that I have worked out that I want to explain first. I used the MPlayer slackbuild from the official release. However Slackware ships an older version of MPlayer than we need so we need to update the build to a newer version. Unfortunately I learned that the MPlayer developers have dropped there GUI support so building a newer mplayer will not have gui support, its ok we'll fix this in step 4. You can find a modified slackbuild here http://webpages.charter.net/daedra/MPlayer.tar.gz by default this will not build patented code, you need to enable patents "YES" to get support for patented code. Here is a post about the mplayer GUI http://lists.mplayerhq.hu/pipermail/...ne/061715.html

4) Now that we have a new MPlayer and installed working, we need to add a GUI. I am recommending gnome-mplayer because it works very well and you can also add on gecko-mediaplayer plugins to work with it, more on that later. To install gnome-mplayer you can just use the build over at slackbuilds.org, just make sure to change the slackbuild to use the newest version of 0.9.8. here is the link for gnome-mplayer http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12...gnome-mplayer/ and the source http://gnome-mplayer.googlecode.com/...r-0.9.8.tar.gz Once its installed launch the program either from command line "gnome-mplayer" or from your launcher. Were almost done we just to change a few options. Under preferences change video output to vdpau and audio output to alsa. Also under mplayer tab enable software volume control unless your soundcard has a hardware mixer.

Now download a test clip from here http://www.h264info.com/clips.html

If your using KDE then run "System Monitor", once the program is running then open "gnome-mplayer" and launch your downloaded test video. if your system monitor shows mplayer cpu usage at 10% or less then vdpau is working correctly, here is a screen shot of it in action, the pic looks wrong but it's just the screenshot http://webpages.charter.net/daedra/1.jpg

Before the cpu usage was around 40%, so as you can see thats a huge improvement.

5) (Optional) Once you have all the steps above working if you want you can now install the gecko-media player plugins, this is basically the mplayerplug-in package that is available in the Slackware /extra directory, however that has been depreciated for a while, the developer has switched to gecko media player plugin. I have made a slackbuild for the newest version available here http://webpages.charter.net/daedra/g...aplayer.tar.gz

Quick note = If you decided to install gecko-media package but don't want to use my build then just know that gecko will use the seamonkey libraries to build the plugin and install then to the seamoney plugins directory so it will not work with firefox, if you use my build you won't have this problem.

We'll thats all, if I missed anything or have any questions please let us know.

I implemented vdpau using mplayer svn when i started using slackware13. i use smplayer as a front-end for mplayer.

* - i don't like gnome-mplayer.

- I customized pat's slackbuild from the DVD and recompiled mplayer.

Code:

./configure --prefix=/usr \

            --mandir=/usr/man \

            --confdir=/etc/mplayer \

            --enable-gui \

            --enable-menu \

            --enable-largefiles \

            --enable-vdpau \

            --disable-arts \

            --codecsdir=${CODECSDIR} \

            --win32codecsdir=${CODECSDIR} \

            --realcodecsdir=${CODECSDIR} \

            --language="${LANGUAGES}" \

            ${EXTRACONFIGUREOPTIONS} \

            ${DO_PATENTED} \

            2>&1 | tee $OUTPUT/configure-${PRGNAM}.log

- I used the closed source nvidia driver <190.42>
- I used smplayer v0.6.8 (supports vdpau fully, doesn't need extra arguments against mplayer exec)

btw...good work on the tutorial, am sure people will find it useful.

EDIT: CPU Usage while playing 720p video = 1-3%
CPU Usage while playing 1080p video = 3-7%

good to know, I could never get it to work without the libvdpau package, are you using that? or did you get it to work without it?

nope i did not use the libvdpau package.

There are three VDPAU (Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix-like systems) libraries:
*-The top-level wrapper (/usr/X11/lib64/libvdpau.so.x.y.z),
*- a debug trace library (/usr/X11/lib64/libvdpau_trace.so.x.y.z),
*- and the NVIDIA implementation (/usr/X11/lib64/libvdpau_nvidia.so.x.y.z).

Code:

sam@Sam:/usr/X11/lib64$ ls -l | grep libvdpau

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      13 2009-10-22 08:27 libvdpau.so -> libvdpau.so.1*

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      18 2009-10-22 08:27 libvdpau.so.1 -> libvdpau.so.190.42*

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root    5016 2009-10-22 08:27 libvdpau.so.190.42*

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      25 2009-10-22 08:27 libvdpau_nvidia.so -> libvdpau_nvidia.so.190.42*

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root  1458192 2009-10-22 08:27 libvdpau_nvidia.so.190.42*

lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      24 2009-10-22 08:27 libvdpau_trace.so -> libvdpau_trace.so.190.42*

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root    49896 2009-10-22 08:27 libvdpau_trace.so.190.42*

did u read :this:

Thanks for that, I going to go back and look at this, if it works without libvdpau then whats the point of that step. Thanks for the heads up.

the libs came automatically with the nvidia driver. i did not use a single extra package. try the latest .run from nvidia.

hey!..i just remembered..get the ffmpeg package with vdpau support. (kudos, Eric!)

Code:

ffmpeg: updated to r20056 snapshot (20090927). The x264 and gsm codecs were

  updated to their latest version as well. This ffmpeg has support for VDPAU

  (gpu-accelerated video decoding on recent Nvidia hardware) but I have not

  tested that.

  Note: as usual, this package comes without the patent/license encumbered

  LAME and FAAC libraries (meaning, you can not encode mp3 or aac, but you can

  playback these formats). Just rebuild the package and those will be

  automatically added.

Your right, I upgrade ffmpeg using Eric's slackbuild and it worked without using the libvdpau package.

Congratulations! Buddy, Enjoy now!..

remember to disable Composite by running nvidia-xconfig utility.

cant do that, I like my compiz fusion too much :).

Thanks for this. I've been meaning to get this working.

ok..i see.

actually when i used xfce i had tearing issues with the display compositor and i had to set it to "enable". now that i use fluxbox, i set it to "disable".

Did you have vsync enabled?

yes, but that did not solve the problem. then i turned on composite.
that reduced the tearing significantly, but i finally solved it by turning off the compositor that comes with xfce.

the problem went away completely when i started using fluxbox, i couldn't care less about xfce now.

**however, i never had the problem in kde4 & compiz**

It seems that when I build mplayer it automatically enables vdpau, I didn't have to tell it anything.

I'm pretty sure your right, the reason I edited the build myself is because of the info I got in this post. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...mpile.-757310/

well, i didn't know that.

bringing some light to the "do we need libvdpau?" question.
libvdpau was recently splitted from the binary nvidia graphics driver, and is now available as separate download from freedesktop.org.
However, for now the very same version is still included in the graphics driver package, but will be removed from there at some point.
The stand-alone library is vendor-independent code, which means it is not tide to nvidia cards in any way, and is everything applications need to compile VDPAU-enabled versions.
For SBo users this means that as soon as the 190.x series is declared stable I'll push my updated SlackBuilds for the nvidia-driver / -kernel scripts, which will no longer include the libvdpau library. This one will be submitted as a separate build script, together with vdpauinfo.
So, basic answer, yes you will need libvdpau, sooner or later.

Strange that the official Slackware MPlayer doesn't have it enabled then...

MPlayer enables options automatically, when the needed libraries are available in the system. Slackware doesn't ship libvdpau, so vdpau is disabled.

saw that..just rebuild the new package(-current-r29789) with vdpau enabled , its working flawlessly with smplayer.

try it "Daedra".

I just tried the newest build and it failed with a specific error with vdpau, so I installed the libvdpau package and it compiled successfully. Even the old gui is working again.

# -- PATENT ALERT! --

# MPlayer source contains an internal copy of 'libdvdcss' for reading DVD's.

# This is considered illegal software in some countries.

# Also, MPLayer can be built with MP3 (lame) and AMR audio encoders

# (needed for FLV and .3GP videos) but these libraries are 'contaminated'

# with patents from Fraunhofer and GGP.

# Also, the AAC encoder has patent issues.

# The Slackware package is built with "USE_PATENTS=NO" i.e. without using

# the lame mp3, faac, AMR and dvdcss libraries.

# This also means that this creates a version of MPlayer that is unable

# to play encrypted DVD's (which is most DVD's on the market). If it is

# allowed in your country to use libdvdcss, this is not a big problem though.

# Install a libdvdcss package and it will be picked up automatically by

# MPlayer's internal libdvdread library, so that MPlayer will again be able

# to play encrypted DVD's.

#

# If you have licenses to use the code, and/or the patents do not apply in

# your region, and you take all legal responsibility, you may wish to build

# MPlayer with the option USE_PATENTS=YES which will include potentially

# patent-encumbered code.

# symbolic link "/usr/share/mplayer/subfont.ttf" to it.

# The use of bitmapped fonts is considered deprecated, but you can still use

Nevermind, I reinstalled the nvidia driver thinking maybe I over wrote or deleted the files, the reinstall worked. All is good.

BTW, for anyone who wants to have proper SlackBuilds for libvdpau, plus a nvidia-driver script that's modified to work with the external libvdpau, I have them at my github repo http://github.com/pprkut/slackbuilds...e/master/beta/
