Getting back Intel MCDI with Braswell NUC on 10.0.1?

  • I'm currently running a NUC5CPYH:

    Previously (LE9, maybe? 8?) I was able to get motion-compensated deinterlacing, and maybe even mpeg2 hardware decoding. Currently I can get neither.

    Following other suggestions, I tried a /storage/.config/kodi.conf with:

    Code
    MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=i965
    LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965

    as well as only


    LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965

    Neither showed any difference in the driver being loaded when looking at the X logs. Is this old driver still available on 10.0.1? Sorry about the formatting, this editor is not working with me. Thanks.

  • For those keeping score at home, I switched back to LE 9.2.6 and was able to regain mpeg2 HW decoding and all the VAAPI deinterlacers, including my preferred motion-compensated (MCDI). Perhaps in the future the new Intel driver will support this older hardware, but I'm not holding my breath.
