[Bug 661735] Re: Black screen on video playback
Unfortunately, X11 video output (XCB) is not a good solution. On my Thinkpad it produces massive frame drops and color artifacts if I try to use a zoom level other than 100% oder 200%. This means I cannot watch my favorite YouTube videos on fullscreen on that computer. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661735 Title: Black screen on video playback To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer0.10/+bug/661735/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I tested some VLC output modules on the AOD255E: VDPAU video output: no video XVideo video output (XCB): black video OpenGL GLX video output (XCB): degraded as with gnome-mplayer X11 video output (XCB): "stairways" when diagonal objects move very fast, but acceptable in all other aspects, so I'll just use that for now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661735 Title: Black screen on video playback To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer0.10/+bug/661735/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 661735] Re: Black screen on video playback
Same problem on xenial in an Acer Aspire One 255 (AOD255E), also in VLC. gnome-mplayer shows the video but at a very slow frame rate, and in cases where it has to scale the image up to make it fill the screen, the image quality is worse than on an Acer Aspire One 360 with VLC (same resolution, full screen, no frame skips). I guess that gnome-mplayer used software rendering, most probably because hardware video acceleration was unavailable. The latter would explain why other media players failed. Also a Thinkpad on precise started to have the all-black video problem some time in spring or summer of 2016; I had thought this was just an end-of-support thing precise is quite old now. On the Thinkpad, VLC and gnome-mplayer also show the video as just black. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/661735 Title: Black screen on video playback To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer0.10/+bug/661735/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Still got this bug on Oneiric. Linux 3.0.0-13 AMD64 Fglrx-updates 2:8.902 I also confirm the strange behavior that mplayer with XV driver works fine if Totem has not be launched before, and gives black video screen once Totem has been launched once.

Its not fglrx. I have gtx 570 and have the same problem. Tried drives from the repos as well as drivers directly from the nvidia site. xv doesn't work.

Yes, I tried that and it works, but video playback is choppy and I don't want to loose Xv. I tried with Lucid and Maverick Live CDs and could play videos (bad quality), but I think it's because radeon driver does not support Xv.
