View Full Version : MPV, Feodra and Hardware Decoding on Laptop

Hi there,
even though I've been a desktop only user for... well... years, namely from 1998 'till 2015, it comes a time in which everyone, sooner or later, has to buy a laptop. My turn was in 2016 when I had to be able to travel while carrying my data with me.
The laptop I went for in January 2016 was an Asus N552VX, namely:

- Intel i7 6700HQ 4c/8th 2.60GHz (3.20GHz) with AVX2
- 32GB of RAM (16x2) DDR4 from HyperX
- A built in Intel® HD Graphics 530
- A dedicated NVIDIA GTX 950M 4GB GDDR5
- 1 TB Intel SSD m2 (mSata)
- 1 TB Samsung EVO SSD Sata III
- 1 TB Samsung EVO SSD Sata III
- Crappy FULL HD 300 nits display

Leaving aside the terrible effort I had to make to get it to boot in Linux at the very beginning due to the severely bugged NVIDIA drivers and all the mess about Wayland and reverting to xorg countless times, I'm now stable on x11 Fedora 32.
The problem is, though, that I can't seem to get hardware decoding to work properly on MPV.

Vainfo returns the following:

If I try to use hardware acceleration on an old MPEG-2 DVD file, it works by using the internal Intel HD Graphics 530:

This isn't terribly bad, since it managed to work with vaapi and is using the integrated graphic card of my CPU, however I would have been happier if it used the dedicated NVIDIA 950M instead. Why is it using the integrated graphic over the NVIDIA one?
And most importantly: I'm pretty interested in the HEVC H.265 hardware decoding support.
My NVIDIA 950M doesn't support HEVC decoding, so I don't really mind of MPV not using it with 4K contents, however, afaik, my Intel HD Graphics 530 should support it in decoding:


Hardware codec support
h264: Decode
h265 / HEVC (8 bit): Decode
h265 / HEVC (10 bit): Decode
VP8: Decode
VP9: Decode
VC-1:Decode
AVC: Decode
JPEG: Decode


so, I was expecting it to be used in decoding on an m2ts I extracted from a brand new UHD-BD, but it doesn't and everything is stuttering as hell with the CPU at 100% on all cores/threads and even if I turn the Turbo Boost (overclock) on, it still lags behind and doesn't manage to properly decode it.

This is the Dolby Vision BD:

As you can see, it doesn't find any CUDA capable decoding hardware 'cause my NVIDIA doesn't support HEVC Decoding, however when it tries to use the Intel HD 530 using vaapi, it doesn't work as it says that decoding for this profile is not supported. Why?


p.s this was supposed to be a single post, but I had to split it due to the long logs file and the forum character limitation. Sorry about that.


As always, thank you in advance,
Frank
