I see that the terminal command vainfo is no longer an option in later versions of firmware (11.05.x ?). What is the command that replaced vainfo ?
try vdpauinfo
With that command I receive, “cannot connect to X server”
Not sure if it matters but this device is a UD2
It needs a DISPLAY setting. If you ssh into it, it hasn’t one:
DISPLAY=:0 vdpauinfo
ah, OK, so I need to run this command on the endpoint itself and not through remote shell
You can, but there must be a DISPLAY running and you have to specify it, like written.
It might still depend on the GPU type. Not sure if all have vdpauinfo, try also vainfo with the DISPLAY specified.
I receive this
what does cat /config/XServer/card0 give?
Hi Jo, running that command gives me this,
Looks like your hwva partition (Hardware Video Acceleration) is missing
Just checked with an intel hw. It’s still vainfo on intel.
Is this normal for a UD2 (M250C)?
No valid license maybe?
Or feature by accident switched off?
License should be good. Probably feature turned off. Any hints on such a feature?
this one:
get services.hardware_video_acceleration.enabled
Thank you. I do not have this feature enabled (which explains it!). Not sure why I don’t, but I’ll enable on my test unit.
That did it! vainfo now showing me all the stuff of interest I was seeking. Thank you again!
