SDL hardware YUV output is OK.

media-video/vlc-1.0.6 is OK.

Comment 4 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-01-18 18:50:05 UTC
Does it properly work with other video output plugins?
Comment 5 Johannes Geiss 2011-01-19 19:09:02 UTC
GLX video output (XCB): solid blue
YUV video output: no output (no window)
Video memory output: no output (no window)
X11 video output XCB): blue tinted
XVideo output (XCB): no output (no window)
Simple DirectMedia Layer video output: OK
Comment 6 Mike Nerone 2012-04-09 18:34:54 UTC
Eh, "me too". I believe this is related:

    http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2518770&postcount=104

The problem stems from Flash 11.2 w/ libvdpau: Flash is incorrectly swapping the order of the U and V video planes when calling vdpau. That patch *sortof* fixes it, but it's a pain.

There is a lot of discussion on this issue in the ArchLinux forum, including more relevant links and a seeming confirmation that Adobe will not be fixing this. :(

    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1079335

I can confirm that downgrading to adobe-flash-11.1* fixes it. There are security concerns with 11.1, but at least some of the opinions are that those problems were Windows-only, and that 11.1 on Linux is fine. I'll be looking for a response on that question from peeps that know more about that than I do.

To help users, another possible YouTube-specific workaround is to enable HTML5 video (http://www.youtube.com/html5) to avoid using Flash at all. Unfortunately, reports are that this only works for some videos - the ones with Advertisements *always* use Flash.

Aww, cripes - sorry for the noise. Somewhere during my research, I lost sight of the fact that this bug was for media-video/vlc. Perhaps there's something in common with the Flash problem, though. I hope it gives someone a hint.

For version 2.0.1 this bug exists no more. Maybe this issue can be closed?

OK
