[Bug 661735] Re: Black screen on video playback

2016-11-16 Thread Marcel Krause
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

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,

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. Using fglrx + totem screen goes black :( -- Black screen on video
