Don't think so .
May have to wait till the latest stuff is released for a non-Beta tester to do so.

Thanks.
That does help with the moving of the DVplayer window but freezes on resizing the window persist.

I remember that I had some similar crashes on my X5000 with RadeonRX as well. The issue was the power setting where I should have it at the higher.

Is there something like that for RadeonHD? If yes, did you test to put it on high?

The problems are probably with machines with the gart functions in the drivers disabled. So Sam460ex and Sam440ep plus PCI to PCIEx16 adapter. The 3 A-Eon Models will have gart functions enabled in the driver.

What My tests revealed was a slow playback of a 1080p video with DVplayer and an instant crash when using Emotion.

I did not file a bug report because I am not willing to keep switching cards to test at this point.

No such problems with the Radeon Rx card and driver.

I did a one off test yesterday.
There are still serious issues with RadeonHD video acceleration and Sam460ex .

I use a Radeon Rx and that works very well with video acceleration on the Same460ex.
Due to my past experiences with Amiga hardware guarantees ,things like graphics cards swapping for test purposes is a thing of the past for me so I will not be doing any more RadeonHD tests .

Might be wise to qualify the machines that you tested on to avoid any possible misrepresentation especially for non A-Eon machines .

At least i as a beta tester can say, that Emotion/DvPlayer works correctly and plays videos fine with GPU support via va.library on the latest RadeonHD driver and all the related stuff.

The R7250 cards are either Oland or Verde chipsets so supported by the RadeonHD driver.
Oland chipset supported from RadeonHD Driver 2.19 .

There may be a Workbench Freezing on boot issue with Driver versions 3.x and above if Composite setting in GUI preferences Effects setting are enabled.

@portarinos

It is worth having a look at the power supply.
These are what have cause me the most problems with my Sam460ex over the years.

Eventually went back to using the original mini-itx one that the system shipped with.
Using an adapter that allows it to work in the full size tower case that I had moved the motherboard in to .

Have had stability problems with two atx power supplies that tested ok. but problems finally gone with the switch back to the original mini-itx power supply.

The problems included freezing on file transfer or copy and failure of the machine to boot once in a while .

The RadeonHD driver includes the support for RadeonHD Southern Islands Cards so to give the current info quoting Amiga-Kit :

"The UVD Southern Islands driver for VA Lib is working and we are beta testing to iron out the bugs. As soon as it is available, we will put it out on Updater utility.".

Indeed.
The two sets of library files are currently identical.
Emotion works ok with them in Libs: .

Sam460ex + Radeon Rx550.

My favorite 4k test video is "Big Buck Bunny".
My dropbox link below .

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/8v ... 60p_30fps_normal.mp4?dl=0

Check to see if you have the following in your Libs: directory

acvodec2.library
avdevice2.library
avfilter2.library
avformat2.library
avutil2.library
swresample2.library
swscale2.library

Emotion uses these same files but they are in the Emotion directory for Emotion not Libs:

RadeonHD (SI) cards can only do hardware decoding up to 2K.
RadeonRX cards can do hardware decoding up to 4K.

The latest DVPlayer V54.x can playback 4K videos with a RadeonRX card and the Libs:va.library & Libs:VA/RadeonRX_drv_video.library driver .

DVPlayer V54.x is new work so a paid upgrade,either stand alone via AMIStore or possible as part of Enhancer v54.

Trevor has announced that purchasers of DVPlayer V54.x will be able to download the required xxx_drv_video.library driver
for RadeonHD (SI) cards .(Once it is ready for a public release I would expect)
