Hi all,
I've been using a Zotac ION board with Nvidia GPU as XINE player for SD and HD for quite a while. The player is vdr-sxfe with "--video vdpau". This has worked fine until recently, when the combo started to throw spurious errors like (from the vdr-sxfe log):
load_plugins: plugin /usr/lib/xine/plugins/2.0/xineplug_dmx_mngvo_vdpau: Can't create vdp device : unsupported GPU? [5837] [vdr-fe] fe_xine_init: xine_open_video_driver("vdpau") failed Error initializing xine
Lately, this happens reproducibly every time I start vdr-sxfe. (I had to switch to xxmc which works fine for SD programs but gives me a bit of stutter for HD channels on the 1.6 GHz single core Atom.)
Any idea where I should look? Why might xinelib or vdr-sxfe fail to correctly detect the ION (MCP79) chip when everything is unchanged? Yes I ran an apt-get upgrade on the underlying Ubuntu 12.04.3 OS but this didn't change anything, apparently.
TIA!
