[Bug 1416005] Re: totem fails to play video if gstreamer-vaapi is installed

 

I can confirm that @Eric Piel is right saying that  gstreamer1.0-vaapi
is the culprit. Without gstreamer1.0-vaapi, I can play example.mp4 file
in bug #1373978 without any problem.

Bug description:
  If gstreamer-vaapi is installed Totem fails to play anything, and instead just shows an error popup saying "GStreamer encountered a general stream error". The app doesn't produce any error msg on the terminal, but shows that vaapi is being used:
  ...

  Gst-launch using vaapidecocde and vaapisink still works properly,
  using

  gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=bbb_sunflower_2160p_60fps_normal.mp4 !
  qtdemux ! vaapidecode ! vaapisink

  takes 6% cpu instead of 300% on my broadwell based laptop.
