Solved video from Qt5 and C++ code example directly failed
-
@SGaist
ok, i think i find why this can not works.
In fact, it is not QT5 directly, but the way it use video with (va-api) on my laptop.
Because my laptop has two graphic proc (the one from intel from CPU chip, and the one from graphic card nvidia GTX950M).
Then, i have to tell bumblebee to use nvidia card instead of intel GPU part of intel CPU due to impossibility by this intel proc to use these va-api (add an env variable for that in /etc/environment for example: LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=nvidia).But maybe it could be possible also to configure QT5 tools to not use va-api lib for make running video on widgets ? is there a way to tell him to use the same way as it use with QML code ? If possible this way would be the best one for many situations (but not all for specific stuff maybe).
-
If I understand you correctly, you have both working if running on the nVidia GPU but not when the Intel GPU is active ?
-
@SGaist not sure, i answer too quick and no had time more for experiment this way from laptop.
But from now, i work on my desktop PC, then only Intel video driver and CPU used for video (i7). And same problem: QCamear example running but show a black screen (no error output).
Then i see that there is no error with libva, but maybe the problem come from the use of libva by QT5.
I can not remove libva due to dependencies. How is it possible to make running/using video by an other way than libva for QT5 ?
I not understand because codes for video from QML sources works, not from QT/C++ sources (same problem from QT5 QCamera example).
maybe you could try to install a linux distribution in 64bits mode and install libva and gl libs, then just run the example give by QT5 to see the problem ?
or tell me what i could do for have more information around this kind of (maybe) bug.appreciate your help, thanks.
-
Qt 5.6 being almost out, can you check with it if you are still experiencing this ?
Otherwise, you should also check with the GStreamer 1.0 QtMultimedia plugin -
@SGaist i just install the last one qt-5.6.0-1 from archlinux repos.
But same problem again.
I don't know what to do, i try to find help on irc from qt channel and archlinux channel, but no one help or find.
Do you have more idea ? is it possible to join a Qt dev of QtMultimedia or someone around this code ? -
You can try writing to the interest mailing list

Did you subscribe first ?
-
@SGaist yes i suscribe first and then confirm my subscribtion.
But i have all the time error from send delivery mails.also, i looked inside my directory: /usr/lib/dri
and i have this (who seems to be suspect i think):
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/dd17c9f72906726f8070b3d6a81a7a76i installed nvidia before, but remove it and blacklisted it because of passthrough for qemu virtual machine (ability of use autocad with windows 7 on VM), but i use my intel driver. i not understand these libs on this directory.
Could you please tell me if you think it could be a problem there ? -
IIRC these are the libraries used by the Direct Rendering Infrastructure so I wouldn't say they are suspicious
-
@SGaist i tried to suscribe with an other account than gmail (from my own site):

It's look like a bad joke.... how to contact them ?
Could you please post for me and explain i can not contact them ? what i can do ? i folow the process, it doesn't work att all. -

@SGaist Hi,
after many month, i had to suscribe by two different email address, because one of them is like blacklisted or something like that (never seen my messages printed on the discussion).
But anyway, with the second address, i saw it, but never have answer.When use the camera example code from Qt5, i know exactly the code line who make problem appears:
"camera->setViewfinder(ui->viewfinder);"
GPU is not the problem to.
so consider the testcase is the QT5 example, with archlinux and last Qt-5.7.xxx on Intel CPU, with a usb camera who works with all other programms, and also with QML code. Juste the Qt5 with widgets code never works for me.
Many month of search, never find solution, never find someone more than you that what to help on that to.IRC => no one answer on that to.
i don't know what to do more, seems like use camera with Qt5 and widget code is a pain and it is like that.
-
Can you check what type of video surface you are getting ?
-
I maybe had the same problem. I always got a black viewfinder and the same vaapi messages. The only solution for me was to uninstall the gstreamer-vaapi plugin (if you dont require vaapi).
-
@pauledd
that is also my problem, you find the solution.
I'm so happy ! thank you very much for that, close to one year long for searching a solution...
thank you very much pauledd.
