Created attachment 428542 [details] emerge --info # totem 'Gangnam_style.mp4' libva info: VA-API version 0.38.1 libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib64/va/drivers/nvidia_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_35 libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0 (totem:5900): Cogl-WARNING **: driver/gl/cogl-buffer-gl.c:93: GL error (1280): Invalid enumeration value On this example, the video is not shown, just a black screen. The audio works until 7 seconds until it stops too. As a workaround, I've just uninstalled that library.
I will bump it to a newer release over the weekend, hope you can test that one then. I'll let you know here when it's bumped. Where does /usr/lib64/va/drivers/nvidia_drv_video.so come from btw, and do other VAAPI using media players work (some don't make use of it by default though)?
This /usr/lib64/va/drivers/nvidia_drv_video.so probably comes from the fact I've added the vpdau USE flag on my make.conf. I have a GeForce GTX 970 and the driver is x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-358.16-r1. I tested this same video with vlc using the following configurations: - VA-API video decoder via X11: # vlc 'Gangnam_style.mp4' VLC media player 2.2.1 Terry Pratchett (Weatherwax) (revision 2.2.1-0-ga425c42) [00000000011b5118] core libvlc: Executando o VLC com a interface padrão.

I believe Totem or gstreamer should try detecting those failures and try other methods not just showing a black screen.
Sorry for the delay. The bump was to 1.6, but now I want to get in freshly released 1.8 instead, which all gstreamer packages need to be bumped to, so quite some work. Hopefully things are even better there than the 1.6 missing vaapi plugin bump.
1.8.2 version is in the tree now, please retest
Same result.
please report this to upstream directly then and paste here the link to let us track the issue -> bugzilla.gnome.org
