Mageia forum

Recently, I bought an Asus E35M1-I Deluxe motherboard, which I use for HTPC.
I installed the fglrx drivers from the repos Mageia and XBMC.
I enabled VA-API in XBMC to decode video through the integrated graphics AMD Radeon HD 6310.
When I try to play a video in MKV format, XBMC crashes, returning to the home screen of XBMC. If I play an AVI video, XBMC plays it without problems. If i disable VA-API in XBMC, I can play MKV videos without problems, but through CPU instead of graphics card.

What am I doing wrong?

Have you checked the mkv files with some standalone player (va-api capable) like VLC or Smplayer?
Eventually from console to check any error messages?

Not. Only with XBMC. I have no installed any other software. I will try to install a desktop to check this...

I believe you need to install vaapi-driver-fglrx and probably libva1 for vaapi to work with your hardware.

Oh, sorry. I forgot to say that these packages are already installed:

Code: Select all

# rpm -qa | grep va1
lib64va1-1.0.12-1.mga1
[root@HTPC X11]# rpm -qa | grep vaapi
lib64gstvaapi0.10_0-0.2.5-2.mga1
gstreamer0.10-vaapi-0.2.5-2.mga1
vaapi-driver-fglrx-0.7.8-2.mga1

I'm using Mageia 1 64 bits installed from a Dual Arch CD.

Could you please attach the crashlog from xbmc, should be somewhere below ~/.xbmc/

This is last crash log from XBMC: http://pastebin.com/NLvaVGH6

I've uninstalled some video drivers that I not use and some i586 libraries (libavutil50 and libavformats52 among other) and now is working well!
