Summary: Review Request: libva - VAAPI video playback acceleration https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=518546 Summary: Review Request: libva - VAAPI video playback acceleration Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: medium Component: Package Review AssignedTo: nobody(a)fedoraproject.org ReportedBy: awilliam(a)redhat.com QAContact: extras-qa(a)fedoraproject.org CC: notting(a)redhat.com, fedora-package-review(a)redhat.com Estimated Hours: 0.0 Classification: Fedora Target Release: --- Spec URL: http://www.happyassassin.net/extras/libva.spec SRPM URL: http://www.happyassassin.net/extras/libva-0.30.4.1.sds3-1.aw_fc12.src.rpm Description: libva contains a library and tools relating to the VAAPI video playback acceleration specification. At present the only really working implementations of VAAPI support on the video driver side are in two proprietary drivers (VIA's own driver for its Chrome chipsets, and the infamous Intel Poulsbo driver), but there's a borderline-functional implementation of MPEG-2 acceleration for mainline Intel chipsets in the package, and more free implementations are definitely planned for the future, so this isn't like VDPAU, and the Packaging Committee meeting which discussed VDPAU was firmly in favour of allowing libva in. This package is the patched version of libva maintained by Gwenole Beauchesne of Splitted Desktop Systems, at http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/libva/ . Upstream libva is slated to include his changes from version 0.50 onwards. Some already seem to be merged, but not all, and building current upstream git doesn't give a libva that works with Poulsbo, so I'd prefer to go with Gwenole's patched version for now. I've got a spec on file for the upstream version too, so it'll be easy to switch when appropriate. Upstream libva lives at http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/vaapi , just for reference. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
