Title:
VLC automatic video output malfunctions on Intel HD Graphics 520
(Skylake)
Status in xserver-xorg-video-intel package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
This problem is likely similar or same as #1537053.
When selecting "Automatic" video output in VLC player, the playback
malfunctions in several ways.
1. The video floats on top, covering drop-down menus and other windows
in front. I tried to take a screenshot, but the video does not appear
on the screenshot.
2. The aspect ratio is wrong: the image is squeezed from the sides.
Trying to change the aspect ratio cuts a different rectangle from the
image without changing the aspect ratio. (Note: I have a Full HD
screen 1920x1080.)
3. The image cannot be stretched beyond its maximal resolution (as
understood by VLC after miscalculating the aspect ratio).
4. When resizing the window, a blue background appears and blinks.
Sometimes it stays, especially in fullscreen mode.
These problems are fixed by selecting GLX video output instead of
Automatic.
I do not know if this might be relevant, but i suspect that for some
reason i do not have accelerated graphics in my desktop environment:
dragging windows around clearly is not accelerated enough.
WORKAROUND: Uncheck Accelerated video output (Overlay)" in Preference
> Video > Display.
