UVD on RS880

UVD on RS880

[Boszormenyi Zoltan]

Hi,

according to http://wiki.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/#4 UVD on RS880 is a TODO.
I would like to ask about whether there are any plans to implement it and a
vague approximation for the release date, if it's planned.

Thanks in advance,
Zoltán Böszörményi

Hi,

The code for the first generation UVD blocks (RV6xx, RS780, RS880 and 
RV790) is already implemented and I'm only waiting for the OK to release it.

The only problem is that I don't know if and when we are getting this OK 
for release. Maybe tomorrow, maybe never. It just doesn't has a high 
priority for the reviewer because we don't really sell that old hardware 
any more.

Cheers,
Christian.

Hey, as far as I know, rs780e is still on sale. And currently, almost
all of loongson3[1](both loongson3a and 3b) based machine use that
chip :)
So it will improve HD video playback experience on that platform.

Fingers crossed this happens soon especially now that BluRays can be played
on Linux

1080p VC1 does not play well on a Phenom II X4 even when multi threaded

Hi, Christian,

As Chen Jie says, there are a lot of Loongson machines using RS780,
we are very glad to see the RS780's UVD support.

Huacai

It seems UVD based VC1 playback is broken??

With a Radeon 6570 card, neither X86 nor the loongson platform give me
a correct picture for my VC1 samples:

I just tried these files with Xine under Fedora 20 and I also have a HD6570 in my machine.

[zozo@localhost uvd-test-files]$ rpm -q xine-ui xine-lib kernel mesa-libGL mesa-vdpau-drivers
xine-ui-0.99.7-9.fc20.x86_64
xine-lib-1.2.4-3.fc20.x86_64

[zozo@localhost uvd-test-files]$ uname -r
3.12.7-300.fc20.x86_64

Xine is set to use VDPAU:

[zozo@localhost uvd-test-files]$ xine Wildlife.wmv
This is xine (X11 gui) - a free video player v0.99.7.
(c) 2000-2010 The xine Team.

vo_vdpau: maximum video surface size for chroma type 4:2:2 is 16384x16384
vo_vdpau: maximum video surface size for chroma type 4:2:0 is 16384x16384
vo_vdpau: VideoSurface doesn't support yuy2, sorry.
[zozo@localhost uvd-test-files]$ xine Robotica_1080.wmv

I didn't see anything broken with these files, Wildlife.wmv had vivid colors
in every scene, the robotic arm and stuff in Robotica was shiny metallic grey.
No garbage anywhere.

For VC1 only the advanced profile is fully implemented/supported. The 
main and simple profile are only supported after a certain hw generation 
and still have some rather important bits missing in the current driver 
implementation.
