Vaapisink and SNA acceleration with dual screen configuration produce high CPU
Last modified: 2017-08-09 09:59:13 UTC
Vaapi sink and SNA acceleration with Option "TearFree" "true" on dual screen monitor configuration produce high CPU when two large videos(near full screen and full screen - 1920x1080)are played. Top command does not show high cpu but mpstat and iotop shows 100%. When "TearFree" is disabled or UXA acceleration is used instead SNA, CPU is low. Xvimagesink does not have this problem. This problem is affected on different Intel processors: Celerons 1037, J1900, i3 Sandy and Ivy Bridge. Ubuntu and Fedora are both affected. Latest Intel driver are installed with Intel Graphics Installer 1.0.6 for Linux.
Moving to Product:GStreamer, Component:gstreamer-vaapi
Is this still an issue? In my opinion this is not in gstreamer-vaapi issue, but in the xorg driver.
Could you use linux perf tools (sudo perf record -a -p pid) to figure out what is causing a higher cpu usage ?
