Description Mark van Rossum 2015-12-28 21:16:32 UTC 
Description of problem:
I have found that playing mp4 files with either vlc or xine crash X11.
The file plays ok under totem.
Xorg.0.log is included below.



 rpm -q xorg-x11-drv-intel

How reproducible:
Seems fully reproducible. Tried two different mp4 files.

Comment 3 Mark van Rossum 2016-01-31 10:16:22 UTC 
Skype also crashes X11 as soon as it does video.
Comment 4 Mark van Rossum 2016-02-10 21:37:42 UTC 
Finally solved this using the UXA driver

Comment 5 Xavier Bachelot 2016-02-10 23:20:10 UTC 
I guess this is not an issue with xine-plugin (or xine) but rather with xorg-x11-drv-intel. And anyway, the xine stack is no more in Fedora, it has been moved to RPM Fusion some time ago.
Comment 6 Mark van Rossum 2016-02-21 14:42:01 UTC 
Solved with latest driver
xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-19.20151206.fc23.x86_64
