Hi, I’m affected by this issue looking for help. After the upgrade I’ve lost HW acc. From the instructions here to build mesa locally from the repos Upstream mesa removal of AVC/HEVC/VC-1 hardware acceleration (AMD GPUs) - #31 by Leo
#!/bin/bash
cd /tmp/
git clone https://gitlab.manjaro.org/packages/extra/mesa.git
cd /tmp/mesa/
sed -i '/-D microsoft-clc=disabled \\/a \ -D video-codecs=vc1dec,h264dec,h264enc,h265dec,h265enc \\' PKGBUILD
makepkg -si
cd /tmp/
rm -Rf mesa
It builds and installs but when trying to play a video via mpv or vlc or trying to run vdpauinfo I get this error:
mpv: ../mesa-22.3.1/src/compiler/glsl_types.cpp:1245: static const glsl_type* glsl_type::get_array_instance(const glsl_type*, unsigned int, unsigned int): Assertion `glsl_type_users > 0' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
Downgrading to the previous version with pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/mesa-22.2.3-1.1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst /var/cache/pacman/pkg/mesa-vdpau-22.2.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst gives HW acc back but I also lost realtime privileges (laptop used as a DAW) - continuous xruns when playing video/audio
