[Bug 1374825] Re: VDPAU does not work in libav on Utopic

 

running:
mplayer -vo vdpau -vc ffh264vdpau -aspect 16:9 http://bglive-a.bitgravity.com/twit/live/high

I get audio but no video and this message:

Forced video codec: ffh264vdpau
Cannot find codec 'h264_vdpau' in libavcodec...
Video decoder init failed for codecs.conf entry "ffh264vdpau".

this command line works fine before I update from thrusty to utopic.
