Talk:Mplayer vdpau script

-vo vdpau works fine with all (?) filters, so please remove this page: It is only misleading. --Ce 14:26, 12 December 2010 (EST)

For me (the one who was talking to someone on #mplayer about it, which led him to create this page), that is not the case - both crop and cropdetect result in the video not actually being played and vdpau getting all confused. Perhaps it's actually the use of vdpau in conjunction with ff*vdpau video codecs that causes it - in which case, if you can give me a way to stop it using those codecs when there is a video filter specified, I'd gladly use it.

I'd just like to add that we don't accept such crap in any of the repositories on mplayerhq, and I will certainly not accept bug-reports for it. (But if it works for you: Great!)--Ce 21:33, 15 December 2010 (EST)

just a few points:

* I never asked for it to be in the repository, nor did I ask for you to accept bug reports about a user-created shell script (I'm assuming you're referring to the shell script as opposed to the issue that caused me to write it)

* What's crap is that an mplayer video output plugin or video codec (I am unsure which as I haven't had time on a computer to test) fails in a horrible way when asked to do something it doesn't like rather than failing gracefully (or working). Considering your vagueness I can't tell whether you haven't noticed my problem, think I'm lying, haven't had time to think about it or just don't think an error like this is worth caring about.

you were talking to me on irc, and i dont have vdpau to test such things. some bugzilla for vf screenshot not working with vdpau here : http://bugzilla.mplayerhq.hu/show_bug.cgi?id=1501 , maybe you could comment on that bug while you are at it carl. if filters work with vdpau i should probably make a note of that. --Compn 23:36, 16 December 2010 (EST)

I've also just noticed that smplayer also has an option to disable video filters with vdpau - and that hasn't been added recently. So there must really be a problem. Muzer 14:37, 17 December 2010 (EST)

* -vo vdpau works fine with videofilters (I did not test all, but I use hqdn3d every day)

* -vc ff*vdpau breaks all (?) videofilters

* Technically, -vc ff*vdpau also works with -vo gl (it just hasn't been implemented yet)

* If FFmpeg ever gets a VDPAU implementation in libswscale, it will make videofilters work with -vc ff*vdpau

* I have no problem with scripts being published, but if a script breaks a real use case (as said, I use hqdn3d every day with tv:// and I sometimes need de-interlacing which I typically don't know in advance), this should be clearly said

And finally: Sorry, if I was harsh above, I did not mean to insult anybody, all help is of course welcome! --Ce 18:21, 17 December 2010 (EST)

oh ok, i forgot -vo vdpau can be used without vdpau accel. if the script is changed to look for -vc ffh264vdpau or ffvc1vdpau or ffmpeg2vdpau or ffodivxvdpau instead of just vo vdpau that would be nice. but the ff*vdpau codecs should set a flag to disable filters. --Compn 15:08, 19 December 2010 (EST)
