How to tell if I have proper video installed?

[duckwars]

How can I tell if I succesfully installed mplayer WITH vaadi (something like that) and tell if I'm using the proper driver (I'm using 9.10).

I did this http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauc ... yer-vaapi/

and when I tried to run the command "./checkout-patch-build.sh" it gave me an error saying that it doesn't exist

and when I tried to do this http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauchesne/libva/
it also gave me an error.

Right now 720p video will run, but 1080p is a real no go. Thanks.

You have to run

Code: Select all

mplayer

with

Code: Select all

-vo vaapi -va vaapi

options. Either it will complain (wrong version/binary) or it will play and then you will see some vaapi messages that tell you whether it works or not..

Code: Select all

vainfo

utility may also tell you if libva was properly installed.
