Using Kodi as reference for the behaviour of VDPAU hw acceleration on the system:
The latest version of mesa doesn't work and makes Kodi crash when opening any video. I figured that when I downgrade every package of mesa to version 18.2.8, kodi is now able to run videos, but still without vdpau. The behaviour improved, but without hw acceleration. https://launchpad.net/~canonical-x/+archive/ubuntu/x-staging I meant that when I upgrade mesa with this package, I encounter the same behaviour of the version 18.2.8 I downgraded. Using Oibaf's ppa is the only to get vdpau acceleration working, but the image is too dark, it doesn't have the bells and whistles specifically optimized for Ubuntu. I wrote earlier that I tested disco with success, vdpau runs well and nothing's necessary to add. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1837170 Title: Kodi package crash after the update of libdrm-amdgpu1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1837170/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
