HW Accel(LIBVA) cannot be enabled.

[comienzo2093]

Hi,

I am using Avidemux v2.8.2 (231015_e2b1ad2b27e) on ubuntu 22.04.3.
But I can't seem to enable hw accel on my intel n100 cpu.
When I was using an INTEL J6412(ubuntu 23.04), I was able to enable this from the GUI without any problem.

The error log is shown below.

Is there any way to fix this? Please help me, thank you.

[comienzo2093]

It could also be a linux kernel issue, so I'll test again after installing ubuntu 23.10.

[eumagga0x2a]

I'll test again after installing ubuntu 23.10.

Please also make sure that intel-media-va-driver-non-free is installed, you run Avidemux in an X11 session, not on Wayland, and post the output of

The build failed on Ubuntu 23.10, but succeeded on Ubuntu 23.04.
And on 23.04, HW accel works fine!


Sorry, I didn't see your comment until late.
I didn't check to see if intel-media-va-driver-non-free was installed on my system.

Thank you,

The build failed on Ubuntu 23.10

Please provide the error messages (the CMake output in the terminal and the last /tmp/logbuild* file).

[comienzo2093]

Okay I see, I'll be updating my system to 23.10 in the near future, I'll post the results again at that time.

[eumagga0x2a]

Thanks,

I'll be updating my system to 23.10 in the near future

Either that or I actually set up a VM before that. I'll let you know then.

[comienzo2093]

Sorry for the delay, I confirmed today that the build completes fine on Ubuntu 23.10.

However, there is an issue with HW Accel not being supported in Ubuntu 23.10. As mentioned above, it was working fine in Ubuntu 23.04.
Package intel-media-va-driver-non-free is already the latest version (23.2.3+ds1-1).
I am using an intel n100 cpu.

Just to be sure: you have verified that you run Avidemux in an Xorg session (not in a Wayland one!), haven't you?

[comienzo2093]

I didn't know what wayland and xorg were.
I checked it out after seeing your reply, and yes, I was running the program in a wayland session.
Thanks, I will run it in xorg and report the results.
