[Bug 1196353] [NEW] Video-out on an Empathy Call Goes to Static After ~5 mins

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Full system logs attached.   How this happens: Using Empathy, I start a
video call (on a gtalk i.m. network, for example). Video out on my
machine is fine for about three to five minutes. Then it goes to
completely garbled/static. Video in (video from the other machine) stays
working fine.

Same thing happens actually under Skype on Ubuntu. So the issue is
likely not specific to Empathy.

However, it clearly has something to do with an underlying problem on
the system.

I've been told that vl4 might be a good place to look to debug this, but
I don't know what steps to take to do so.
