There didn't even seem to be a way to make it play back with the hardware acceleration disabled as vlc just kept segfaulting. A custom mplayer build spawned lots of errors too. It was literally impossible to play back any H264 videos.
For what it's worth, to get it working for myself I had to recompile libva, libvdpau and vdpau-video manually. I used unpatched versions of: libva-1.0.12 libvdpau-0.4.1 vdpau-video-0.7.2 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773466 Title: libva1 trying to open /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so ends with segmentation fault -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
