Arch Linux

This is already in AUR4.

pedomj: You will be moved by at aur4 too, right?

Wanted to say thanks pedromj.

Updated, please test.

Hi,
new version 20150703 (1.6.0) is out. I moved my source repo to bitbucket:
source=(https://bitbucket.org/alium/g45-h264/downloads/intel-driver-g45-h264-$pkgver.tar.gz)
sha256sums=('67c5d1d35e1f76f2b028fcc85cad435e2560c8ab2c91cf4f387807d0bcf15980')

Updated, please test.

new version 20150415:
vainfo: VA-API version: 0.37 (libva 1.5.1)

sha256sums=('b38ecd32425b086d17234e28757bf8a38d5b63609f6eb24aa9f7a499e467a26c')

Thanks alium.

@cb474:
you need update to libva-1.5.0 in [extra],
after update you can see:

[alois@toshiba ~]$ vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 0.37.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_37
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA-API version: 0.37 (libva 1.5.0)

I get this error when trying to build:

configure: error: Package requirements (libva >= 0.37) were not met:

Requested 'libva >= 0.37' but version of libva is 0.36.0

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBVA_DEPS_CFLAGS
and LIBVA_DEPS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Updated, please test.

Tested and uploaded. Please, check it works right. Thank you.

libva-driver-intel-g45-h264 merged into libva-intel-driver-g45-h264.

Hi all,

The requested name change is totally reasonable, so I've done it. Please, find the new package in:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libva-intel-driver-g45-h264/

[Do not forget to vote, so we may be able to get it included in the official repositories sometime in the future :-D].

Regards,
Pedro

Please rename this package to libva-intel-driver-g45-h264 to make it consistent with the package in [extra]. After you uploaded it in the new name, I'll merge this one.

Updated, please check.

Regards,
Pedro

libva 1.3.1 is out.
I merged the master tree, and I added/enabled VPP (video postprocesing) now, please test before the deployment. For me works 720p x264 videos in vlc and mpv.

vainfo: VA-API version: 0.35 (libva 1.3.1)
vainfo: Driver version: Intel i965 driver - 1.3.2.pre1
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
VAProfileMPEG2Simple : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileNone : VAEntrypointVideoProc

Link for test: https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/g45h264/testing/intel-driver-g45-h264-20140510.tar.gz - sha256sums=('13bcea803592d2175ac18a0825fb6096e95ded181cbf3eea02e12567d04343c0')

I waiting for clarification from Intel's developer that the VPP on the G45 is really supported/implemented. If no problems, I move it from testing.

Updated version. Please test.

i installed the package ,vainfo is proper. And everything else seems to work fine.

Hi,

I've updated the package. Please test it and let me know any problem. Thank you.

Regards,
Pedro

Updated package. Please test it and report any problem. Thank you.

trapanator: I just did a simple test, where I first checked the output of "vainfo" and then I tried to play a file that is encoded in h264 using "mplayer -vo vaapi file.mp4"

@stativ: how do you test your card with these libs?

alium: I did a quick test of commit 4568e24f0382d2d03215bcaf78eb0eae68f88ae5 and it seems to work fine on my GMA 4500MHD.

Uploaded the updated package. Please, test it and give us feedback as @alium mentioned. Thank you.

It still does not work and I tried what you said. The SHA256 sums differ from the ones you posted. Please, point me to the source package you used to get the hash:

sha256sums=('f391d8fa2e109295d722ae7ba3f069dc6dba0c8d7c23549d4b7e35542f1f8bed')

or send it to me (pedromj@gmail.com) because the file I get from the following URL:

https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/g45h264/intel-driver-g45-h264-20130701.tar.gz

has the following hash:

sha256sums=('a8dbe9fb92b3ccc6f1718121a6f168614cdbe7814cea8a65fe19283b82b8d78d')

so I wonder where is the file you have used.

Thank you.

The new file does not match the SHA256sum you posted. However, even after updating the PKGBUILD to match the SHA256sum of the new file, it does not work properly, does not show H264 profile.

This version does not work properly:

$ vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 0.34.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_34
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA-API version: 0.34 (libva 1.2.1)
vainfo: Driver version: Intel i965 driver - 1.2.1.pre1
vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints
VAProfileMPEG2Simple : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointVLD

With previous versions it did offer support H264 profile for my hardware (X4500MHD). Alium, please, test it and let me know how to fix it so I can upgrade the package. Thank you.

I've revised the PKGBUILD, fixed some little problems, tested it builds and works properly, and uploaded the new package version. Thanks alium.

thank you, alium. Now I have h264 accelerarion, too, on my 4500. Remember to uninstall libva-intel-driver before.

Do not hesitate to get the PKGBUILD and adapt it to work with current version. I can review and upload it (do not forget to add your contribution line). Thank you.

the branch 'g45-h264' is removed from GIT, because it isn't compatible with libva-1.1.0 anymore :-(

Anyone fixed this problem?

I've tried but does not easily work. If you can provide a PKGBUILD, I'll give it a try and update this. Thank you.

Suggestion - change pkgbuild to use "git clone --depth 1" to reduce network traffic and download times. We don't need the entire history, just the current snapshot.

I have tested and uploaded the version provided by "vbmithr".

I'm orphaning this package.

To the maintainer: update it or orphan it.

Here is a PKGBUILD that works and take account on input of previous comments:

http://pastebin.com/DQRM8MJB

I needed to install libtool to get this package installing.

If during compiling you received this message - http://pastebin.com/VHVBt6qC - then do (replace "wapmorgan" in dirs to your name) :
0. Delete libva-intel-driver packages (if you installed it)
$ sudo pacman -R libva-intel-driver
1. Change dir to the source dir (e.g. /tmp/yaourt-tmp-wapmorgan/aur-libva-driver-intel-g45-h264/src/intel-driver)
$ cd /tmp/yaourt-tmp-wapmorgan/aur-libva-driver-intel-g45-h264/src/intel-driver
2. Edit "configure.ac": replace
AM_CONFIG_HEADER([src/config.h])
to
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS([src/config.h])
(25 line);
$ sed -i 's/AM_CONFIG_HEADER/AC_CONFIG_HEADERS/' configure.ac
3. Go to dir where PKGBUILD stays
$ cd /tmp/yaourt-tmp-wapmorgan/aur-libva-driver-intel-g45-h264
4. Comment git clone command
$ sed -i 's/git clone/#git clone/' PKGBUILD
5. Compile/install packages
$ makepkg -i

instead of conflicts=('libva-driver-intel')

Should be
conflicts=('libva-intel-driver')
provides=('libva-intel-driver=$pkgver')

Built from modifying PKGBUILD worked fine. Thanks for this heads up.

Vote here if you want this fixed. https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31491

How do you downgrade to 1.0.16? I only fount 1.0.15.

https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/31491

@protomog: it is because libva 1.1.0 have API changes, please switch your version libva to 1.0.16. 1.1.0 is reverted and exist no more.

Does this replace xf86-video-intel?

No it doesn't.

Does this replace xf86-video-intel?

I don't think so. This is the output of libva-driver-intel-1.0.15-1
from extra on my laptop (4500MHD graphic):

$ vainfo
libva: VA-API version 0.32.0
libva: va_getDriverName() returns 0

hmm i was thinking g45-h264 was merged in master.
