Bug#683703: xbmc: Video playback fails when VAAPI is enabled and a VAAPI driver is installed

 

Package: xbmc
Version: 2:11.0~git20120510.82388d5-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Since reverting from the deb-multimedia xbmc package to the upstream Debian
package, video playback no longer works when VAAPI is enabled and a VAAPI
driver is installed.

When playing back a video with VAAPI enabled, the audio stream starts but the
video does not display on screen.  Clicking the video thumbnail brings up a
black screen which does not display any video.  Disabling VAAPI or uninstalling
the VAAPI driver resolves the issue.

Given that I previously had this configuration working, and that gstreamer
playback is fine when the gstreamer-vaapi plugin is installed, I believe this
must be a bug in the specific version of xbmc packaged by Debian.

Thanks.
