Created attachment 1077283 [details]
GST_DEBUG=*:6 firefox logs

Description of problem:
gstreamer1-vaapi causes HTML5 videos not being played correctly:you get a black video and you can only listen to the sound.
I tried on Firefox and on Konqueror using both WebKit and KHTML engine.
To solve the problem I had to uninstall gstreamer1-vaapi package.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gstreamer1-vaapi-0.5.10-2.fc22.x86_64


Additional info:
Attached logs of GST_DEBUG=*:6 firefox

I am sorry, I meant T530, not L530

Comment 7 fulminemizzega 2015-11-22 17:46:52 UTC
Can you also take a look at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1123536 ?
The last comments are about the same issue reported here.

Comment 8 Thomas Walker 2016-04-09 20:49:49 UTC
fwiw, I have exactly the same problem on fc23 now with a 1st generation Lenovo X1 Carbon and totem.  I used to have problems on previous Fedora versions on this hardware due to buggy DRI3 support that could be alleviated by forcing DRI2 but that ceased working at some point.
Now the problem appears to be due to wayland.  Disabling wayland (both gdm via /etc/gdm/custom.conf) and by selecting an X based session, fixes it.
