[Pkg-xbmc-maintainers] Bug#742896: xbmc: Blank video with VDPAU enabled

[Sergej Wildemann]

Package: xbmc
Version: 13.0~beta2+dfsg1-1
Severity: normal

I am using the radeon oss driver with latest mesa 10.1.0-4 to take
advantage of VDPAU acceleration. This kind of worked with xbmc 12.3 with
some tearing, but stopped working with an update to gotham. VDPAU also
works fine through mpv.
After enabling hardware acceleration in video settings, my x264 movies
behave like audio files and do not show any output. The screen stays blank
and the selected decoder shows as "ff-h264" in the info overlay.
I also tried the latest OpenELEC which works as expected correctly shows
"ff-h264-vdpau" as the decoder.

The problem looks like this one:
