What I need to use to test: vaapi o vdpau? I think vdpau for
nvidia.
Results for playback of a h264 movie:
With CIN_HW_DEV=vaapi ./cin --> CPU 60%
with CIN_HW_DEV=vdpau ./cin --> CPU 11%
without vdpau or vaapi --> CPU 60%.
Apparently, from the above statistics, you should use "vdpau"!!! I will see if GG can gain anything from the attached dump in the next email.
Everyone: and thanks for testing!
This mod is going to react differently depending on the hardware used and the number of files loaded. For example,
- if you have an epyc Amd chip with 128 CPUs and load 150 files, without vaapi/vdpau may be better.
- if you load only a couple of files the GPU vaapi/vdpau should be faster depending on your graphics board and how capable it is.
- if you load 10 MIXERS, it always seems to work a lot better playing them on our computers.
- if you have 4 cores or less, but a really good "gaming card", using vaapi/vdpau should be a big help.
It might be more difficult to analyze problems as a result because of the wide variation in hardware but everything should still work the same without the CIN_HW_CIN environment variable as it is isolated. We see mixed preliminary results so far. gg/Phyllis
