Need Salix developers point of view about VA-API

Post by SalixManiac »

hello,
libva 2.xx introduce big improvment for intel hardware encoder and decoder,unfortunately the slackware 15.0 release use the 2.13 branch because the 2.14 was published too late.

libva2.14.0, libva-intel-driver2.4.1, libva-utils-2.14.0 fix encoding problems and more.

What is the best way to use for fixing the problem? (salix repository, sourcery, individual slackbuild...)

Yes: you are a boss :D

Another problem with intel graphic, with the new libdrm package , intel use iris HD (iHD) driver by default, MESA and VA-API don't work on intel GMA (i915) and intel HD (i965), it's need to use the "User environment variable requested driver".

/etc/profile or /home/user/.profile
add in my case:

export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965
# export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i915
# export LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD

I don't ask you to make a option menu liveCD :lol: it's just for information.
