some DVDs don't play with VDPAU

[managementboy@…]

Some of my DVDs don't play with VDPAU. After starting the main feature (menu works) the screen stays mainly black with occasional blocks appearing. Sound work either. When I switch to a different renderer the DVD plays flawlessly. Attached a full log of "mythfrontend -v playback,audio". The Nvidia driver is version 260.19.06 on a nVidia Corporation GT218 210? (rev a2), but I tested it with other drivers, too.

Please re-test with latest trunk - which has had many changes to DVD playback.

[managementboy@…]

no change, still the same issue. VDPAU does not work, but ffmpeg does. I have updated the log today.

sorry, had actualy done the requested change but forgot to post the results. Did it again today, manualy adding the patch (as the source file has changed since). The error percists and the work arround using ffmpeg and XVideo still applies.

Sometimes the OSD gets a color inversion when playing the ISOs/DVDs that have this problem.

"mplayer -vo vdpau kikujiro.iso" does work, but fails in using myth.

Attached a log of the testing I did (mythfrontend -v playback,audio)

Thanks for looking into it.

log of mythfrontend -v playback,audio

[Brent Helgerson <bahelgerson@…>]

I can reproduce this using mplayer with VDPAU instead of the internal player. Would this indicate that it's not a MythTV issue? All the discs from Dexter season 3 (region 1) exhibit this behavior.

Thanks

[stuartm]

Reporter can reproduce outside MythTV and we've had no further reports of the same behaviour from other users. It doesn't prove much but Dexter Series 3 Region 2 DVDs played just fine with vdpau for me. I'm closing this as a driver/hardware issue as it doesn't seem to be a MythTV bug.
