[2.8.0] Cannot get attribute for VAEntrypointVLD VC1

[vinibali]

Hello there!

I'm having problems with a pretty new Intel mobile processor, which has an Intel Iris XE GPU.
Version 2.8.0 cannot start with the recent appimage or the package from ubuntuhandbook's ppa repo, however the legacy appimage works fine.
Here is the output:

[checkProfile] 06:03:18-677  Cannot get attribute  for VAEntrypointVLD VC1
This message has nothing to do with the issue. The problem is that an attempt to upload a VAImage (i.e. a picture stored in normal memory) during probing to a hardware surface via the vaPutImage function of libva library triggers a crash in the driver on this Intel platform. You could try building Avidemux from source with the following patch:

I would classify the problem as a bug in the driver.

Thanks for the patch, I'll try it on the next week.
Do you mean if there is a bug in the VAAPI driver?

Hmm, even the build for the 2.8.0 release fails.

You've skipped the mandatory step to pull the submodule which provides translations after cloning the repository:

Code Select Expand

git submodule update --init --recursive
(to be executed in the avidemux2 directory)

I strongly discourage trying to build 2.8.0 release instead of the current git master or at least the latest support_2.8.0 branch. The release really has issues you don't want to have.

thanks.
I was even so surprised when after a successful build I was not able to 
The patch works fine, you can merge this.
