Package: vlc
Version: 3.0.17.4-5
Followup-For: Bug #1021032

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where
appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
The current version solves the problem only in part:

No problems viewing videos from HD.

But when I use VLC to view a TV channel, I can see the first it
connects to, but when I switch channels I have a black vlc window.
HW: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 2040:0265 Hauppauge WinTV-dualHD DVB
$ lsmod | grep haup
rc_hauppauge           16384  0
rc_core                40960  3 em28xx_rc,rc_hauppauge

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

"/usr/bin/vlc <channel-list>.xspf"

   * What was the outcome of this action?

vlc connects successfully to first channel on the list; I have embedded
video in vlc window.

But as soon as I change the channel by selectin a new item on the
channel list, the embeddet vindow becoms black and stays black no
matter how often or to which channel I try to connect.
But on closing vlc I can see the video in a no embedded window behind
the vlc window for a fraction of a second (pleas note: in this case VLC
was ***not*** opened with the "--no-embedded-video" option).


   * What outcome did you expect instead?

embedded video.

*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***

I had a similar problem when using vlc for TV streaming prior to the
current black screen bug: I had *occasionally* a black screen when
switching channels, which the in most cases this could be solved by
switching again to an other channel and back again. Sometimes however
it would freeze vlc completely and I had to close my X session.

Now the blackscreen doesn't show up randomly but every time and
reproducibly when I switch the TV channel. When I open VLS using the
"--no-embedded-video" option all works well.
