[Bug 967091] Re: Wrong tint in flash when it uses video acceleration
I'd like to get the existing bugfix accepted as an SRU. Hope I get the
SRU process more or less right.
While simply using the Quantal revision's changes in Precise would work
perfectly well, I also created an update for the Precise version that
includes only patches relevant for this bug. See the linked bzr branch
and debdiff.
** Description changed:
Using Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit, nvidia binary driver, youtube videos show blue faces after the upgrade to flashplugin 11.2.
Didn't occur with 11.1.
See example at: http://i.imgur.com/S58GP.jpg

+ SRU description
+
+ [IMPACT]
+
+ * Flash videos have the wrong tint ("blue faces") on Precise when
+ using nvidia-current or nvidia-current-updates.
+
+ * This effectively renders Flash videos unwatchable for all LTS users
+ with an NVidia video card.
+
+ [TESTCASE]
+
+ * Install nvidia-current, view any Flash video on YouTube,
+ eg. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkVBXW4JeUI.
+
+ * Reproducable with various Nvidia video cards from at least the
+ GeForce 8 series up to the GeForce 600 series.
+
+ * Screenshot included in Aloysius' original bug description.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+
+ * While Stephen Warren's patch is not exactly a one-liner, it is
+ rather straightforward and only changes libvdpau's behaviour for
+ Flash.
+
+ * On the off-chance that this change causes instability, it can be
+ easily disabled via vdpau_wrapper.cfg.
+
+ * The patch is widely tested, is included in upstream since 0.5 and
+ has been backported for 0.4.1 by the Debian team. The fix is
+ included in Quantal (0.4.1-6ubuntu1).
