I am trying to get VA-API to run in a virtual box... I do not need the perfomance - the libarary is just needed by some of my tools.
Output of vainfo
Code: Select all
app@app-VirtualBox:~$ vainfo
libva info: VA-API version 0.35.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/vboxvideo_drv_video.so
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit
Host: Windows 9 (64 Bit), Graphic Card NVIDIA Quadrio K2100M
Guest: Ubuntu 16.4 (64 Bit), 3D-Acceleration enabled (in preferences)
My question are:
- Do I need to install any graphic driver on the VM?
- Does the VM uses the graphic card or emulates it on the CPU?
- How do I get this to work?
