I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.3 with mainline kernel Linux version 4.13.2-041302-generic (kernel@tangerine) (gcc version 7.2.0 (Ubuntu 7.2.0-3ubuntu1)) #201709132057 SMP Thu Sep 14 00:59:32 UTC 2017
and mesa 1:17.3~git170914191100.7ffd4d2~x~padoka0 and X from the Padoka PPA. OpenGL renderer string: Radeon RX 580 Series (POLARIS10 / DRM 3.18.0 / 4.13.2-041302-generic, LLVM 6.0.0) With default VLC configuration (default Ubuntu package) I see the symptoms Donald describes in #18. While discussing this in #radeon on Freenode, it was suggested to me to try a different video output driver in VLC. It turns out it default to "automatic", which is, in this configuration, VDPAU output. And this causes said problems. Switching to "OpenGL GLX video output (XCB)" works around the issue. So this seems to be an issue with VDPAU, but I could not tell on which end. Does this workaround (switching to a different video output driver) work for you, too? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574354 Title: playing .mp4 in VLC freezes machine Status in mesa package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: VLC was running fine on 15.10 but since upgrading, video files (e.g. .mp4) play for a few minutes and then crash the whole machine (i.e. I have to power off and on). Possibly linked is that audio (in web pages or playing audio files thru Banshee) loops (stutters) for about a second every few minutes (but doesn't crash the machine). vlc-nox: /usr/bin/vlc Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Release: 16.04 vlc: Installed: 2.2.2-5 Candidate: 2.2.2-5 Version table: *** 2.2.2-5 500 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: vlc 2.2.2-5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-21.37-generic 4.4.6 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-21-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Sun Apr 24 19:20:41 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-02-17 (797 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Release amd64 (20131016.1) ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE=en_GB:en PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: vlc UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to xenial on 2016-04-22 (2 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/1574354/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
