Success installing 8.10 and boxee! Need help with mplayer va
Posted: Thu Nov 26, 2009 5:53 pm
Ok,
I managed to install 8.10 out of the box and then the poulsbo drivers from the ubuntu-mobile repository. This allows me to run a good install of boxee which plays videos and flash content such as youtube. However, I'm not getting greedy...I still want to be able to play HD videos but I can't seem to install mplayer vaapi.
I have tried following the instructions found here: http://www.splitted-desktop.com/~gbeauc ... yer-vaapi/ but I can't ever get the libva-dev package to install. There seems to be dependency issues with libdrm.
I have even in desperation tried to install mplayer -vaapi from the fit-pc repository but that fails to install also.
Is there anyone out there far smarter than me who can give me some guidance?
Thanks
