Video fails to play with vdpau

Hi everyone,

Whenever I try my vdpau profile, none of the videos using the profile
start to play. The screen is black for a few minutes and then it goes
back to the menu.

Are you sure you compiled with VDPAU ?

doesn't look like it

Myth is unaware of the VDPAU decoders...

enabled;

Go here for specific MythTV & vdpau setup steps;

Yes, 100% sure. Configured it with --enable-vdpau.
I just tried it again, just to be sure, but I'm getting the same
results.

This doesn't mean that VDPAU support is compiled-in. You need to check
the output of configure. Maybe it cannot find the include files or
libraries?

I'll try to give more detailed info: I'm using the latest trunk
revision, btw.

I configure mythtv with:

./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-xvmc --disable-xvmc-vld --enable-proc-opt --enable-audio-alsa --enable-dvb --dvb-path=/usr/local/src/s2-liplianin/linux/include --enable-opengl-vsync --disable-dbox2 --disable-hdhomerun --disable-joystick-menu --disable-ivtv --disable-firewire --enable-xv --enable-v4l --disable-ssse3 --enable-vdpau

One of the options appearing afterwards is:

VDPAU support yes

Making and installing that gave me no errors. None. But I'm still
getting the same error message.

Are there other packages that need to be installed? A modified ffmpeg or
libavcodec, or something like it?
Is it having problems using my drivers, which I installed from nvidia's
binary, not from a deb file?

Met vriendelijke groeten,

Jelle De Loecker

After a bit more research I found someone with the exact same problem.
The solution was to uninstall everything, use a clean and distclean on
it, delete the current source tree you have and start over again.

Everything is working fine, now!
