That's okay, I already have some workarounds as described in the initial bug report, and Totem isn't my main video player of choice anyway.
Just thought I would point it out since Totem and Wayland are defaults out of the box and this might cause some headaches for the not so tech savvy folks who just want things to be working. And as a sidenote, even on Xorg, Totem with hardware acceleration doesn't work perfectly because I get a few distorted frames at random intervals, about every 5 - 10 minutes. I guess that's for another bug report though. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to totem in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1720820 Title: Totem with gstreamer1.0-vaapi and Wayland crashes on AMD graphics Status in gstreamer-vaapi package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in totem package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Totem with gstreamer1.0-vaapi and Wayland crashes on my machine with AMD Fury graphics card and open source drivers. Video output is just a black frame and crash happens within just a few seconds after video playback starts. Could not reproduce bug on two older Intel laptops with iGPU's where hardware acceleration seemed to work fine under Wayland. Issue is only present on Wayland, not x. I can get hardware accelerated video playback working on Wayland with 'mpv --hwdec=vaapi-copy --opengl-backend=wayland' but this is the only way I have found so far. Even in mpv, no other option than vaapi-copy works. gst-play-1.0 outputs the following error: ERROR Internal error: could not render surface for file:///*** ERROR debug information: ../../../gst/vaapi/gstvaapisink.c(1483): gst_vaapisink_show_frame_unlocked (): /GstPlayBin:playbin/GstPlaySink:playsink/GstBin:vbin/GstVaapiSink:vaapisink0 lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu Artful Aardvark (development branch) Release: 17.10 totem 3.25.90.1-0ubuntu3 gstreamer1.0-vaapi:amd64 1.12.3-1ubuntu1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer-vaapi/+bug/1720820/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
