MPV playback with only x server

Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I am tying to get HW video acceleration to work without a full desktop environment.

Right now, I am able to get videos to start to play with startx /usr/bin/mpv --vo=x11 video.mkv. However, the video seems to be software decoded.

I have tried startx /usr/bin/mpv --vo=vdpau video.mkv but mpv failed to start with an error message "[vo/vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 1Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.Video: no videoA0".

I have also tried startx /usr/bin/mpv --vo=x11 --hwdec=vdpau video.mkv but the video doesn't seem to be hardware accelerated.

Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks!

Sure, xv is a basic video extensiin from 90´s (I remember had it running in a nvidia tnt card).

The full name is XVideo.

You may be working with simplest fb driver, as nor xv not gles are enabled.
