[SID - Unstable] Help! Something Borked my Hardware Aceleration (AMD)

#1 Post by TheGarage »

Recent dist-upgrade seems to have broken my hardware acceleration. It had been working fine for years. I have va-driver-all and libva2 installed. Nothing seems to have been removed. It seems like hardware decoding is actually working as kodi shows it being active when I hit the o key for info and firefox shows the videos are playing, but I get no video only a black screen. No errors show in the terminal when running these applications.

Videos play fine in all programs if I disable vaapi acceleration, but really load up my cpu.

Any ideas?

Is this on siduction? They use their own kernel, not a Debian one, so it may be best to ask on siduction forum.

Yes, it is siduction. Already asked there, no ideas.

I did however install a debian kernel to see if that could be the issue and that didn't work either......so not a kernel issue.

None, other than it looks like it may be worse here on Trixie:
That doesn't look good. Seems you have the vaapi drivers all installed & the system either can't find them or can't load them. Do you have mesa-va-drivers installed?

I thought my installed packages list was a little short. Now I do. Thanks!

One could look at /var/log/apt/history.log to see if you can see what might have caused the issue with that dist-upgrade.

Both xserver-common & mesa both got upgraded that day. I've rolled back mesa with no luck, then yesterday mesa updated to 23.3.1-4. Still no luck. Must be the upgrade to X that killed hardware decoding. I'm not thinking of trying to roll back X, seems to risky. Will just wait hoping for a fix.

Still fighting this issue but more info. It appears that hardware decoding is working as mpv shows
user@hpoffice:~$ mpv --hwdec '/home/user/Videos/161104 #KISS - C mon and love me #KKVI.mp4'
(+) Video --vid=1 (*) (h264 1280x720 30.000fps)
(+) Audio --aid=1 (*) (aac 1ch 44100Hz)
Cannot load libcuda.so.1
Using hardware decoding (vaapi).
AO: [pulse] 44100Hz mono 1ch float
VO: [gpu] 1280x720 vaapi[nv12]
However even though hardware decoding is working the video displayed is just a black screen......with sound.

So I start mpv with the --hwdec & vo=x11 options & I now have video......
user@hpoffice:~$ mpv --hwdec --vo=x11 '/home/user/Videos/161104 #KISS - C mon and love me #KKVI.mp4'
(+) Video --vid=1 (*) (h264 1280x720 30.000fps)
(+) Audio --aid=1 (*) (aac 1ch 44100Hz)
[vo/x11] Warning: this legacy VO has bad performance. Consider fixing your graphics drivers, or not forcing the x11 VO.
[ffmpeg] AVHWDeviceContext: Cannot load libcuda.so.1

Using hardware decoding (vaapi-copy).
AO: [pulse] 44100Hz mono 1ch float
VO: [x11] 1280x720 nv12
I have video, but terrible performance. mpv reports "[vo/x11] Warning: this legacy VO has bad performance. Consider fixing your graphics drivers, or not forcing the x11 VO." So I've tried every other vo= option....
user@hpoffice:~$ mpv --vo=help
Available video outputs:
libmpv render API for libmpv
gpu Shader-based GPU Renderer
gpu-next Video output based on libplacebo
vdpau VDPAU with X11
wlshm Wayland SHM video output (software scaling)
xv X11/Xv
sdl SDL 2.0 Renderer
dmabuf-wayland Wayland dmabuf video output
vaapi VA API with X11
x11 X11 (software scaling)
null Null video output
image Write video frames to image files
tct true-color terminals
caca libcaca
drm Direct Rendering Manager (software scaling)
sixel terminal graphics using sixels
kitty Kitty terminal graphics protocol
No other option outputs a video display.

MPV by default outputs to vo=gpu without setting any vo= option. VLC does the same when video output option is set to auto, but also shows video when x11 output is chosen.
Both show black or blank video using vo=gpu, but had been working fine. Now the only way I get video is to specify vo=x11 option which seems I have no "hardware accelerated rendering". But glxinfo shows
user@hpoffice:~$ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
And glxgears loads & displays properly.

Problem seems to be either xserver-xorg-video-radeon package or the radeon driver in the kernel itself maybe? I reverted to an earlier kernel to check but it made no difference.

I'm confused. How can I have "hardware decoded video", but have to use "software rendered video" which is what vo=x11 does, to view a video?

Mesa 23.3.3 reached testing today (update from 23.2.1) and it also broke vaapi on my end. The issue seems to affect all players that can use it, e.g. mpv, mplayer and kodi on my end, and it also seems to be an upstream bug which affects other distros, as you can see here

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=291296
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/10468

Because 23.3.3 is the latest stable version of mesa, and as it seems the only way of fixing it is to upgrade to 24.x (experimental has its rc2), sadly all we can do is wait for upstream. But, if possible, please open a bug report for debian to keep track of it. I would, but my main email is banned from the bug report system, so all I can do is participate on open bug reports with my secondary one.

As for the playback, if using xv for mpv's vo output gets us 15 years back when there was no vaapi, using x11 as the vo output returns us to the middle ages of linux. Or to modern day fedora, which has disabled vaapi for amd gpus/drivers since September 2022 :D

p.s. This is my first post after so many years of being away from this forum.

Mesa 23.3.4 has reached unstable today. Tbh, I do not see anything relevant in its upstream changelog.
If any unstable user can report that it solves the vaapi issue, it would be beneficial not only for us, but even for users of other distros.

And it reached testing today. Sadly, nothing has changed, vaapi is still broken.
There is still not a single bug report about it, just a semi-relevant report at mesa-VDPAU-drivers from Jan 1st which was recently upgraded to serious severity.

Tbh, I did not expect such lack of interest from maintainers and users alike. Is it only me and... 2 more people that use vaapi in 2024?
What else can I do to help? I have posted what arch did to solve the issue at the forementioned bug report. Here is a verbose mpv log from it playing a file.

This is my last post on the thread, and probably on the debian forums, because as I have said, there is no interest by others (users and maintainers).

Mesa 23.3.5 reached unstable 10 days ago (and 24.0 reached experimental the same day). I waited and waited for it to reach testing, but it still hasn't, so I just let apt install it from there. It still does not solve the issue.

What annoys me is the maintainers' position on the subject, because they said "the bug is solved on v24" and simply closed the bug report. No, "closed" is an understatement here. They simply... swept it under the carpet, and that is for a bug which was rated as serious!
Please note that arch has patched it somehow and that there are some reasons on why it happened on the relevant issue report on mesa's repo on gitlab.

So for someone that does not use experimental, what is left to do other than wait for mesa 24 to reach unstable and testing? I hope it reaches it by Easter. Not the catholic one which falls on the end of March, the orthodox one which falls on early May. Until then, we are stuck to the middle ages of media playback without hardware acceleration. Shame.
