 Posted: Thu Oct 22, 2020 8:39 am Post subject: H265 : no hw decoder (core i7-6500U)??? |
 |
|
Hi,
I'm a little bit puzzled... my laptop is a i7-6500U, I've 4k videos, 60fps, made with a gopro....
I tried both with vlc and mpv, each time I can see the video but soooooooo laggy... I always finish by dropping frames...
I don't know what codec is used by theses 2 players, but when I 'emerge --search 265' I see media-libs/x265 installed, media-libs/libde265 not installed
I don't know how to get a reverse dependency tree (list all packages that are linked with this library
I tried to activate vaapi vdpau cpu_flags_x86_3dnow cpu_flags_x86_3dnowext cpu_flags_x86_aes cpu_flags_x86_avx cpu_flags_x86_avx2 cpu_flags_x86_fma3 cpu_flags_x86_fma4 cpu_flags_x86_mmx cpu_flags_x86_mmxext cpu_flags_x86_sse cpu_flags_x86_sse2 cpu_flags_x86_sse3 cpu_flags_x86_sse4_1 cpu_flags_x86_sse4_2 cpu_flags_x86_ssse3 cpu_flags_x86_xop cpudetection in ffmpeg... still no luck....
I'm a bit surprised that a i7 can't decode smoothly a hevc...
any help?
thanks |

jlm_devel,
What video card do you have?
What video card driver are you actually using?
| Code: | | wgetpaste /var/log/Xorg.0.log |
and tell us the link.
What does say about direct rendering: ?

jlm_devel,
Please don't use Google Drive. It says "You need access"
wgetpaste just works.
The other stuff looks good.

The USE flag "vaapi" (Video Acceleration API) is missing. Add it to the list of USE flags in '/etc/portage/make.conf' and run
| Code: | | emerge --update --deep --changed-use -av @world |
Please install vainfo:
| Code: | | emerge media-video/libva-utils |
After that, run
and post the result, please.
It should be something like:
| Code: | libva info: VA-API version 1.8.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib64/va/drivers/iHD_drv_video.so
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib64/va/drivers/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_8
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA-API version: 1.8 (libva 2.8.0)
vainfo: Driver version: Intel i965 driver for Intel(R) Ivybridge Desktop - 2.4.1
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints

It would be better if you use 17.1 !
Do it with "eselect profile set XX" and then do an "emerge -uUNDv @world --backtrack=99". After this reboot and check again your troubles.
P.S.: I have also an INTEL i7 skylake and you can set CPU_FLAGS_X86="aes avx avx2 fma3 mmx mmxext popcnt sse sse2 sse3 sse4_1 sse4_2 ssse3"
You may check it with "emerge -1 cpuid2cpuflags" and then run it.

pietinger,
Its not that simple. There is a news item.
The on disk layout changes between 17.0 and 17.1

Oh yes, thank you - but I thought this is a new installation (and he will do it again). In every case he needs 17.1 because troubles will get more in the future. |

pietinger,
Agreed.
If the stage3 tarball was made with the /17.1/ profile, it needs to be /17.1/ all the way.
If it was a /17.0/ profile install, the process to do the switch needs to be followed.
Any other combination is a mess.

thanks all for the help!
I still have the issue, but I noticed that there was some intel driver missing :
| Code: |
emerge x11-libs/libva-intel-media-driver x11-libs/libva-vdpau-driver media-video/libva-util |
after this I could run vainfo :
| Code: | $ vainfo

Hi Mike,
Thank you ... yes I knew that. I did something wrong when I looked for it, I got:
| Code: | * x11-libs/libva-intel-media-driver [ Masked ]
Latest version available: 9999
Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] |
and 9999 you cannot install with ~amd64; I didnt saw version 20.2.0  ...  (time to go to bed) |

- according to the wiki, the DDX driver isn't maintained anymore... but has better performance.... what should I do?
- you have Trying to open /usr/lib64/va/drivers/i965_drv_video.so in your output, that I don't have... maybe the root cause?
- same for Driver version: Intel i965 driver for Intel(R) Skylake - 2.4.1, I have Driver version: Intel iHD driver for Intel(R) Gen Graphics - 20.2.0
- according to wiki, adding iris is for gen8+, seems that the i7-6500U is gen 6.... is there any i7-6500U user here? maybe the wiki is wrong???? |

Wait... Intel says the i7-6500U is a Skylake CPU (https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/88194/intel-core-i7-6500u-processor-4m-cache-up-to-3-10-ghz.html). And https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Intel says that VIDEO_CARDS should be "intel i965 iris" for Skylake CPUs.
Don't be confused by the generation numbers... There's a generation for the CPU and a different generation for the GPU. The i7-6500U is a 6th generation processor, but it has a Gen 9 GPU...
Have you added the "vaapi" USE Flag to make.conf and re-emerged affected packages (see my post above)?
Please read the section "Firmware" on https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Intel.

the cpu part of the chip is powerful, but the gpu is ... a little lacking
| Quote: | | The i7-6500U incorporates the Intel HD 520 integrated graphics, with a bit better performance than the older HD 5500. Still, it is just a basic integrated GPU which can run only light games and select demanding titles at lowest graphics detail settings. |
Edit to add: from a thread on intel about the 520
| Quote: | | pipeCh: I just received an update on the research we are doing on this matter and just to let you know the Intel® Skylake processors support HW acceleration of VP9 videos at 4k only if it is 24fps, higher frame count will go via Software so depending on the video this would be expected behavior. |
And they mention that some files they looked at worked smoothly and others didn't (have lag)
And this talking about the difference between skylake(520) and kabylake(620)
| Quote: | | The take home message here is that if HEVC/H.265 video encode/decode performance is a point of concern for you, then you’ll want to go with an Intel 7th Gen Kaby Lake processor for the additional decode block that was added this generation. This is a big deal for mobile users as the lower CPU utilization and GPU clock speeds means that you’ll have greatly improved battery life when watching videos. Kaby Lake also supports Google’s upcoming VP9 video coding format, so Intel 7th Gen Core processors are clearly the way to go for H.265 and VP9 video codecs. |
In other words, you might just have to live with the hevc decode problems.

No. I have no problems watching 4k (real 2160p with 60fps). As Mike said, he needs also the firmware drivers.
jlm_devel,
I wrote a guide for installing both: Firmware driver together with microcode update. You can read here: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1065464.html
P.S.: Today it is i915/skl_dmc_ver1_27 !!

this isn't lag.... after 10s playback vlc, there is about 10s, audio drift, in fact for a 3 min video, it's about 10s frames decoded and the whole audio played...
mpv is a bit better, the image quality is bad, but the video is still playable...
will try to record one at 24fps, to see if this is the root cause... |
