I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.3 with mainline kernel Linux version 4.13.2-041302-generic (kernel@tangerine) (gcc version 7.2.0 (Ubuntu 7.2.0-3ubuntu1)) #201709132057 SMP Thu Sep 14 00:59:32 UTC 2017
and mesa 1:17.3~git170914191100.7ffd4d2~x~padoka0 and X from the Padoka PPA. OpenGL renderer string: Radeon RX 580 Series (POLARIS10 / DRM 3.18.0 / 4.13.2-041302-generic, LLVM 6.0.0) With default VLC configuration (default Ubuntu package) I see the symptoms Donald describes in #18. While discussing this in #radeon on Freenode, it was suggested to me to try a different video output driver in VLC. It turns out it default to "automatic", which is, in this configuration, VDPAU output. And this causes said problems. Switching to "OpenGL GLX video output (XCB)" works around the issue. So this seems to be an issue with VDPAU, but I could not tell on which end. Does this workaround (switching to a different video output driver) work for you, too? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574354 Title: playing .mp4 in VLC freezes machine To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1574354/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
