Bugzilla Bug 229015

Upgrading to media-plugins/gst-plugins-ffmpeg-0.10.4 has resulted in all my
video being a solid green colour when played back via various media players
that use GStreamer. Audio is unaffected. Totem and swfdec-mozilla both exhibit
the same problem. This appears to be something to do with the new
gst-plugins-ffmpeg ebuild using the system-supplied ffmpeg rather than the
version that ships with gst-plugins-ffmpeg.


I'm using:

media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20080326  USE="X a52 aac encode ipv6 mmx mp3 sdl
theora threads truetype vorbis x264 xvid zlib (-altivec) -amr -bindist -debug
-doc -hardcoded-tables -ieee1394 -imlib -network -test"

media-libs/gstreamer-0.10.19  USE="nls -debug -test"

media-plugins/gst-plugins-meta-0.10-r2  USE="X a52 alsa dvd ffmpeg flac mad
mpeg ogg theora vorbis xv -dvb -esd -mythtv -oss"


To resolve the issue I've tried revdep-rebuild -i (no problems detected) as
well as manually rebuilding gstreamer, gst-plugins-meta, gst-plugins-ffmpeg,
swfdec and swfdec-mozilla. I've tried restarting X. None of these steps has
helped solve the problem.

This one's my screwup. I'll take a look at it tonight. Till then if you aren't
using gcc-4.3, you can downgrade to 0.10.3.

I have the same problem. But when i switch my gnome-viedo-settings to 'X Window
System (no Xv)' it's gone.

I'm using the latest nvidia-driver and gst-plugins-ffmpeg-0.10.3
