Hi Justin,
what command line do you use and what is your target RDP server OS?
AVC420 should not be in use anymore as there were issues with that spec
(it was replaced by AVC444 with systems newer than windows 8.1)
anyway, the error should be preceded by warnings detailing which
OpenH264 operation failed for which reason. (that would be the more
interesting log entry, you posted the final 'something failed, look
above' message)
regards
Armin

Hi all,
I've signed-up to this mailing list, in the hope that somebody can point me
in the right direction.
Prompted by a SSD expiry, I carried out a fresh install of Fedora 40. I was
previously running Fedora 39.......and had no issues with FreeRDP.
As you're no doubt aware, F39 shipped with FreeRDP v2 :
at release : freerdp-2.11.2-1.fc39.x86_64.rpm
latest : freerdp-2.11.7-1.fc39.x86_64.rpm
.....whereas F40 ships with v3 :
at release : freerdp-3.4.0-1.fc40.x86_64.rpm
latest : freerdp-3.6.3-1.fc40.x86_64.rpm <--- what I currently
have installed.
The problem I'm seeing is :
"[WARN][com.freerdp.gdi] - [gdi_SurfaceCommand_AVC420]: avc420_decompress
failure: -2003, ignoring update."
.......repeatedly; presumably every time it fails to render the screen
correctly, or it fails to draw a specific section of the screen. It's most
likely to occur whilst scrolling; for example in Outlook and Teams.
Would this error be in some way related to connectivity issues? That said,
I never had this problem with Fedora 39 (FreeRDP v2). To eliminate WiFi, I
intend on hanging this laptop off the back of the WiFi router via an
ethernet cable.
I'm just wondering whether I can force the currently installed v3.6.3 to
fallback to v2 behaviour. Failing that, maybe I can download the source RPM
from the F39 repo, and build it on this F40 laptop......and then somehow
ring-fence it, so it doesn't get updated to version 3.x.y as part of a
wider system update.
Googling the error, or even a portion of the error, doesn't seem to yield
much in the way of results :-/
I'd appreciate any help or guidance........even if it's just sending me off
to some web resource :-)
Thanks in advance
Justin
