It appears that this is, or will be activated. See the news item at:

http://intellinuxgraphics.org/

This appears to be in addition/in place of xvmc.

Re : Is there a way to activate Video Acceleration API for Intel Ironlake (HD Graphics) on MythTV? [In reply to]

In the news, it is written:
In order to use VAAPI, you need a media player that supports it. E.g. you can get mplayer with vaapi support from mplayer-vaapi-latest.tar.bz2

Therefore I assume it will be a new parameter to be selected like xvmc, xv, etc... or do you think it will be part of xvmc option?

which means that it can work today if we have at least:
* Kernel: Linux 2.6.34-rc5with enable-multiple-ring-buffer.patch
* Libdrm: libdrm 2.4.20with libdrm_multiple_ring_buffer_on_master.patch
* Libva: git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/libva (i965_h264 branch) 0c70b6b6c6f65fe67e525dfa7be75ae036549f6d

There will be, but not yet. It is on my shortlist to work on, hopefully
starting later this week or early next week.

You can use google to search the lists.
Put:
site:gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv [space, then your search words]
Video Acceleration API for Intel
in the google search window.
Works with most lists and message boards.
Gives some more flexibility with search terms.

Further down on that page, or the 2.11 announcement page there was a
link to a vaapi enabled version of mplayer.

So you would at least need that.

No you would not. MythTV does not use mplayer, it uses an internal player,
to which I plan to be adding VAAPI support RealSoonNow (TM). In the context
of MythTV, mplayer is not required for anything but (IIRC) playback of VCDs.
It may be useful as a stop-gap solution while I work on the frontend code,
but it is not required.

Just setting things straight.

Off topic for this thread, but I just wanted to extend a heart-felt
THANK YOU to all the developers who have worked over the years to make
the internal player what it is.

Time was I had MPlayer and Xine installed in order to play all the
myriad videos... DVDs, VCDs, SVCDs, plus various video file formats.
When I finally upgraded my distro a few months ago I ignored Xine
entirely and even forgot to install MPlayer for a while. It wasn't
until I tried to play some random file from the command prompt that I
discovered it was missing.

Anyway, thanks!

Now back to your regularly-scheduled ranting and raving :D

It seems that Mark has already started on this, so... Hopefully I'll hook
up with him a bit and see if we can't get this done and tested on the
various platforms as possible.

Hopefully soon... :)
