[Bug 1673481] Re: "Failed to initialize A/V Sync" error trying to play HEVC h.265 with vdpau that supports hevc

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
** Description changed:

  When trying to play HEVC / h265 / x265 video, frontend fails and reports
  "Failed to initialize A/V Sync" error when using vdpau.
  
  This is identical to upstream
