[Bug 364764] Re: Video corruption with composition
I'm having this same problem, but very strange results. On my PC, with an nVidia card, I have no problems. I can run a VirtualBox VM, then open a video file with SMplayer, no transparent video output. Xv works just fine too. Compiz-Fusion is running (I use the Xfce environment). My PC has the latest nVidia driver installed through the VDPAU ppa though. My laptop on the other hand, does have this problem. The video card is an ATi X1400 Mobility Radeon and I'm forced to use the Open Source driver for it (xserver-xorg-video-radeon from bdrung's ppa, version 1:6.12.99+git20090629.f39cafc5-0ubuntu1~ppa). It doesn't happen until I run a VM. After I ran a VM, the window preview boxes are also showing some transparency where it shouldn't. A reload of Compiz fixes this for a moment (until I run a VM again), but it doesn't fix SMplayer. Even switching back to Xfwm4 as window manager doesn't get it going. SMplayer isn't transparent anymore, but the video is now black. Using the XLIB_NO_ARGB_VISUALS=1 option isn't a real fix. I've seen on other sites, including the SMPlayer forum that it's a Qt problem. Is Qt 4.5.3 in Karmic now? Can anyone check if that does not have this issue? If it's fixed with that, Qt 4.5.3 should be backported to Jaunty. -- Video corruption with composition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/364764 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 364764] Re: Video corruption with composition
This bug was fixed in the package nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 - 185.18.14-0ubuntu1 --- nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (185.18.14-0ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low * New upstream release (LP: #376067): - Fixed a Xinerama drawable resource management problem that can cause GLXBadDrawable errors in certain cases, such as when Wine applications are run. (LP: #344721) - Fixed XineramaQueryScreens to return 0 screens instead of 1 screen with the geometry of screen 0 when XineramaIsActive returns false. This conforms to the Xinerama manual page and fixes an interaction problem with Compiz when there is more than one X screen. - Moved kernel module loading earlier in the X driver's initialization, to facilitate more graceful fallbacks if the kernel module cannot be loaded. Removed the LoadKernelModule X configuration option. - Added support for new horizontal interlaced and checkerboard passive stereo modes. - Fixed an OpenGL driver crash while running Bibble 5. - Fixed a DisplayPort interaction problem with power management suspend/resume events. - Fixed occasional X driver memory management performance problems when a composite manager is running. (LP: 294925) - Fixed a bug with VT-switching or mode-switching while using Compiz; the bug could lead to a corrupted desktop (e.g., a white screen) or in the worst case an X server crash. - Fixed a bug that could cause GPU errors in some cases while driving Quadro SDI products. - Fixed a several second hang when VT-switching while OpenGL stereo applications were running on pre-G80 Quadro GPUs. - Added support for multiple swap group members on G80 and later Quadro GPUs. - Fixed the behavior of the NV_CTRL_FRAMELOCK_SYNC_DELAY NV-CONTROL attribute on Quadro G-Sync II. - Fixed a problem with Quadro SDI where transitioning from clone mode to OpenGL mode would fail. - Fixed VDPAU to eliminate some cases of corruption when decoding H.264 video containing field-coded reference frames on G84, G86, G92, G94, G96, or GT200 GPUs. Such streams are commonly found in DVB broadcasts. - Slightly improved the performance of the VDPAU noise reduction algorithm. - Enhanced VDPAU to validate whether overlay usage is supported by the current hardware configuration, and to automatically fall back to the blit-based presentation queue if required. - Fixed error checking in VdpVideoMixerRender, to reject calls that specify more layers than the VdpMixer was created with. - Modified VDPAU's VDPAU_DEBUG code to emit a complete backtrace on all platforms, not just on 32-bit Linux. - Improved interaction between VDPAU and PowerMizer; appropriate performance levels should now be chosen for video playback of all standard resolutions on all supported GPUs. - Fixed a bug in VDPAU that sometimes caused display preemption when the VdpDecoderCreate function failed. - Fixed a potential segfault in the VDPAU trace library, triggered by a multi-threaded application creating a new VdpDevice in one thread, at the same time that another thread detected display preemption. - Improved compatibility with recent Linux kernels. - OpenOffice and Skype no longer have flickering buttons on mouseover when compiz is enabled. (LP: #286932) - smplayer and VirtualBox no longer display video corruption with composite (LP: #364764) -- Bryce Harrington br...@ubuntu.com Fri, 26 Jun 2009 22:35:09 -0700 ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Fix Released -- Video corruption with composition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/364764 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 364764] Re: Video corruption with composition
** Description changed: When i am using composition the video becomes corrupted in smplayer. The video window turns semi-transparent and the black borders around the video is not there. Similar results happens in virtualbox as the virtualbox window also becomes semi-transparent. I've tried different nvidia drivers, 173, 180 and the 185 i am currently using but the result are the same. Also, the XV video mode in smplayer does not work anymore. Smplayer spams its own log with: X11 error: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes). However if i turn of composition (Compiz/Xcomp) both smplayer and virtualbox work as they normally would. But XV does not.

I had the same problem with VirtualBox 2.2.2 and 9.04, but after I restarted my computer, it went away.

(Following my earlier post, I have now installed the *official* Ubuntu 9.04 *jaunty* version of VirtualBox 2.2.2 via Synaptic, and the transparent window problem still exists.) As johnboiles noted, the problem seems to go away after a reboot. However, on my system it comes back if the guest is shut down and restarted.

[Bug 364764] Re: Video corruption with composition
I've been trying numerous video-files of various formats on a couple of other media players to see if any other player was affected when using composition. VLC Media Player runs just fine, the video is displayed nicely with the black borders as well However, the video is slightly pixelated. And the XV video mode does not work. VLC gives me the same error as mplayer: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes). Totem works just fine but playback hacks slightly. Gxine works just fine as well. So, out of the video-players, it is only smplayer that does not work properly. ** Attachment added: Screenshot.png http://launchpadlibrarian.net/25921615/Screenshot.png -- Video corruption with composition https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/364764 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
