Description Gerald Pfeifer 2016-10-14 10:20:54 UTC

This is consistently reproducible on my system (current Tumbleweed,
Lneovo T450 with Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics, see below).

When gstreamer-plugins-vaapi is installed, totem plays the sound, but
no video output for MP4s, FLVs,...  Once gstreamer/VAAPI is removed,
everything is back to normal.

This feels similar to bug #951150 from a year ago.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1123536 also seems related
(if not the same).

Comment 2 Dominique Leuenberger 2016-10-14 10:33:23 UTC

Very likely the same as redhat - as in TW with GNOME 3.22, the session switched to be a wayland session too.

You can verify this as cause by logging in explicitly to a Xorg session (chose the session at the gdm login screen)

Yes, verified switching between two different account and installing/
deinstalling this package.

As long as this is broken, should we really default to Wayland?

I'd argue that for TW - where we target tech enthusiast, this default is fine (unless we find worse issues that can't be worked around) - somehow we have to get the experience with this after all.

For Leap, of course, this would be out of place (and is also not the case)

Comment 5 Bjørn Lie 2016-10-14 20:38:34 UTC

gstreamer-vaapi and wayland have been broken for "years".

I have a small hope that this will be fixed with the next stable gst*-1.10 rel that is not that far away.

At least since gst-vaapi moved to freedesktop there have been a few vaapi + wayland fixes committed.

Comment 6 Stefan Dirsch 2016-10-17 08:23:51 UTC

Most likely issue in GNOME component/library. Reassigning.

Comment 7 Bjørn Lie 2016-12-07 18:06:47 UTC

With the pending gstreamer updates to new stable branch (1.10.2) I have working totem with vaapi and wayland.

Once these hit TW I ask that people confirm that it's working for them too so we can finaly close this bug.

Comment 8 Bjørn Lie 2017-01-11 12:46:49 UTC

Dimstar confirmed in irc that gst-vaapi + wayland and totem now works, so closing as fixed.
