vdpau cannot decode certain HD H.264 stream

[davidtlwong@…]

MythTV cannot decode HD H.264 stream from Hong Kong broadcaster TVB using vdpau decoder. It shows grey noise screen with green/purple blocks/slices.

A sample of MythTV recorded H.264 stream can be found at: ​http://www.sendspace.com/file/izsffg

I haven't tried much H264 material before and don't have VDPAU. This clip plays, with perfect lipsync but with pauses, in my 0.21 fixes 'bijou' internal player (1.8GHz Core2Duo). At 0.5 speed there are no pauses. With 'mplayer -nolirc -nojoystick -vfm ffmpeg -fps 25 -lavdopts fast:skiploopfilter=nonref:threads=2 Mythticket6603.mpg' the video is fine but audio seems entirely disconnected. Adding 'af -scaletempo <factor>' works but hasn't reconnected it. HTH.

It is found that MythTV set wrong parameter to VDAPU.

In VDPAU_h264_picture_complete()

It is currently:

render->info.h264.mb_adaptive_frame_field_flag = h->sps.mb_aff

Latest MPlayer SVN uses:

render->info.h264.mb_adaptive_frame_field_flag = h->sps.mb_aff && !render->info.h264.field_pic_flag;

(In [20728]) Fix playback of certain h264 streams with a small fix from ffmpeg trunk. Closes #6603.
