** Description changed: + [ Impact ] + The Intel media driver needs a version update to fully support - Battlemage in 24.4.4. Ideally, this will get pulled back to Noble, so - this version bump should be backported to oracular before we file an SRU - exception for HWE purposes. + Battlemage in 24.4.4, and the required gmmlib version is 22.5.5. + Ideally, this will get pulled back to Noble, this version bump should be + backported to oracular before we file an SRU exception for HWE purposes. PPA: https://launchpad.net/~mckeesh/+archive/ubuntu/lp2098420 + + [ Test Plan ] + + * Intel performs extensive validation for the media stack internally + before releasing. + + * Canonical's Intel squad performs basic testing on successful media + driver initialization (vainfo) as well as testing hardware encode/decode + on H264, VP9, and AV1 at 1080p and 4K. Intel generations tested: Lunar + Lake, Alder Lake, Tiger Lake + + [ Where problems could occur ] + + * Issues can occur if media driver component versions mismatch. In this + case, we should have gmmlib at 22.5.5 (LP: #2098413), libva at 2.22.0, + and the media driver (free and non-free) at 24.4.4. + + * If there is any critical bug in the media stack, there could be a + fallback to software encode/decode, which is slower and more resource- + intensive. + + [ Other Info ] + + This is dependent on the SRU request in LP: #2098413, which has become + the "main bug" for this work. These changes must land together to avoid + compatibility issues
