VLC doesn't play videos anymore since the PowerPC fixes 5.1-3
Please test VLC with the RC3 of kernel 5.1. The removing of the PowerPC fixes 5.1-3 has solved the VLC issue. Another user has already confirmed that [1]. This isn’t an April Fool‘s. ;-) Thanks [1] http://forum.hyperion-entertainment.com/viewtopic.php?f=58=4256=20#p47561
VLC doesn't play videos anymore since the PowerPC fixes 5.1-3
Hi All, I figured out, that the VLC player doesn't play videos anymore since the PowerPC fixes 5.1-3 [1]. VLC plays videos with the RC1 of kernel 5.1 without any problems. VLC error messages: [100ea580] ts demux warning: first packet for pid=1104 cc=0xe [100ea580] ts demux warning: first packet for pid=1102 cc=0x4 [100ea580] ts demux warning: first packet for pid=1101 cc=0x8 [10109218] core decoder warning: can't get output picture [10109218] avcodec decoder warning: disabling direct rendering [10109218] core decoder warning: can't get output picture dmesg: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=143840 I created a bug report because of the VLC issue with the kernel 5.1-rc2 and higher today [2]. I got an answer from Michel Dänzer today. Quote Michel Dänzer: None of them directly affect the radeon driver. It's quite likely that this is a PPC specific issue. Your best bet is bisecting between rc1 and rc2. I haven't seen any other similar reports. I was able to remove the PowerPC fixes 5.1-4 and 5.1-3 with the following commands: git revert 6536c5f2c8cf79db0d37e79afcdb227dc854509c -m 1 Output: [master 4b4a8cf] Revert "Merge tag 'powerpc-5.1-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kern ... erpc/linux" git revert a5ed1e96cafde5ba48638f486bfca0685dc6ddc9 -m 1 Output: [master 0c70b7b] Revert "Merge tag 'powerpc-5.1-3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kern ... erpc/linux" The removing of the PowerPC fixes 5.1-4 and 5.1-3 has solved the VLC issue. The problematic code is definitely in the PowerPC fixes 5.1-3 [1]. Please check the PowerPC fixes 5.1-3 [1].
