Title:
Recent update broke XVideo/XCB output for h264

tl;dr: You cannot use XVideo output via VDPAU decoder.
If you want to use the VDPAU decoder, you really really should use the
VDPAU output (or leave output to auto). Otherwise, use OpenGL. XVideo
cannot handle picture buffer padding and subpicture blending and is
generally considered deprecated by
Just to explain the practical relevance, the only situation I could
really think of where you would want to have multiple video streams
playing at once in VLC is when you want to play multiple angles that
were recorded of the same event at the same time.
I discovered VLC did this by accident when
Well I'm linking this unrelated thing just for the lulz

But I have found that all the videos that appear to 'work' using the
combination of VDPAU hardware decoding and xcb_xv as the vout display
module only due so because the decoder profile is above the limits for

It's looking hardware-related, and I apologize for not being able to
provide more detailed information about the source of the problem
earlier. Right now at least, changing hardware-accelerated coding fixes
the problem. I have an Nvidia GeForce 9650M GT GPU, with Nvidia driver

I wish I could say it was still working. But either it stopped working,
or I confused "X11 video output (XCB)" for "XVideo output (XCB)" because
it was late. XVideo output (XCB), or xcb_xv, is not working for me for
most h264 videos, and the things I speculated about in my last comment
did not affe
It's working again. It happened after I was changing a few things in the
UI, and restarting if I wasn't sure the changes would be applied without
it (like "Always on top" required a restart). It's possible it might
have somehow been related to trying various output methods, and pressing
