Package: gstreamer1.0-vaapi Version: 0.5.9-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Video playback via playbin works somewhat (tearing and frame-drop at 2k) without vaapi using this command: $ gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=file:///var/local/incoming/clap3-bobcoecke.avi Setting pipeline to PAUSED ... Pipeline is PREROLLING ... Redistribute latency... Pipeline is PREROLLED ... Setting pipeline to PLAYING ... New clock: GstAudioSinkClock After apt-get install gstreamer1.0-vaapi get a black frame and this: $ gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=file:///var/local/incoming/clap3-bobcoecke.avi Setting pipeline to PAUSED ... Pipeline is PREROLLING ... libva info: VA-API version 0.36.0 libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_35 libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0 Got context from element 'vaapidecode0': gst.vaapi.Display=context, display=(GstVaapiDisplay)NULL; Redistribute latency... ** (gst-launch-1.0:28987): CRITICAL **: gst_vaapi_image_get_plane: assertion 'image != NULL' failed ** (gst-launch-1.0:28987): CRITICAL **: gst_vaapi_image_get_pitch: assertion 'image != NULL' failed ** (gst-launch-1.0:28987): CRITICAL **: gst_vaapi_image_get_plane: assertion 'image != NULL' failed ** (gst-launch-1.0:28987): CRITICAL **: gst_vaapi_image_get_pitch: assertion 'image != NULL' failed ** (gst-launch-1.0:28987): CRITICAL **: gst_vaapi_image_get_plane: assertion 'image != NULL' failed ** (gst-launch-1.0:28987): CRITICAL **: gst_vaapi_image_get_pitch: assertion 'image != NULL' failed ** (gst-launch-1.0:28987): CRITICAL **: gst_video_meta_unmap_vaapi_memory: assertion 'mem->surface' failed ** (gst-launch-1.0:28987): CRITICAL **: gst_video_meta_unmap_vaapi_memory: assertion 'mem->surface' failed ** (gst-launch-1.0:28987): CRITICAL **: gst_video_meta_unmap_vaapi_memory: assertion 'mem->surface' failed While some video files do play, others fail differently. I believe that this means there isn't a way of playing back video adequately (at 2k at least) using debian gstreamer. The VDPAU "bad" plugin might help, but isn't built by default. ffplay manages to play the test video files well, i.e. no tearing or frame-drop that I noticed. -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gstreamer1.0-vaapi depends on: ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u4 ii libglib2.0-0 2.42.1-1+b1 ii libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-0 1.4.4-2 ii libgstreamer-vaapi1.0-0 0.5.9-2 ii libgstreamer1.0-0 1.4.4-2 ii multiarch-support 2.19-18+deb8u4 gstreamer1.0-vaapi recommends no packages.
