As it turns out, it was a problem with VA-API, but disabling HW rendering or using VDPAU solved it, though I'm not sure what to make of it. Mesa <20.3 had a bug (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/1193) that caused VA-API not to work at all in VLC when using the AMD driver. For what it's worth, I can't repro this, though my environment is somewhat different: Hardware: RX 5500 XT Software: - KDE 5.20.4/Qt 5.15.2 - X11 - vlc-3.0.12-1.fc33 - mesa-20.3.2-1.fc33 Re: VDPAU - I was under the impression that that was tied to X11 and didn't work under Wayland - can you confirm that it's working in VLC and not falling back to software rendering? https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/6968 Thanks for pointing that out, it looks to be falling back to software and I noticed the same behaviour when selecting VA-API (drm). This message is a reminder that Fedora 33 is nearing its end of life. Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 33 on 2021-11-30. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '33'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 33 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 33 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2021-11-30. Fedora 33 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
