Bug 10193

Hi Fransisco,

I have enabled hardware acceleration in VLC (see http://www.ghacks.net/2013/03/05/how-to-enable-gpu-accelerated-decoding-in-vlc/ ) on my laptop with an ATI Mobility Radeon⢠HD 4570 (r700) and the video-radeon / video-ati drivers, on LXDE, and I am unable to reproduce your problem. The colours/colors of the video file are fine and not inverted. I tried this FLV:

* http://www.shlomifish.org/Files/files/video/Berry%20Sacharof%20-%20Mefaneh%20Maqom.flv

( short URL - http://is.gd/148Af7 ).

And this MKV:

Can you give instructions for obtaining an example file that reproduces this problem? Also it may be a problem with the upstream project.

Hope it helps

I cannot reproduce this problem on KDE 4 on Mageia Linux 3 with video-radeon and with:

wget -c http://ia601209.us.archive.org/18/items/dragonsJojos-08Hi10p.mkv/dragonsJojos-08Hi10p.mp4

I see you are using fglrx - it may be an fglrx problem, because I'm using the open source radeon driver.

I tried open source driver, but I couldn't make HDMI audio works. Pulseaudio said it wasn't connected (like disconnected cable warning in networks wizzards) and I use HDMI (selecting optical output makes home cinema sound, so it's not a sound server issue, looks like driver issue but that will be another bug to report). That's why I am using fglrx driver.

It's a pitty this kind of regresion, because everything worked very well on Mageia 2 with same hardware components, same software and videos. Image and sound through HDMI/Optical worked better than Windows 7/8, out-of-the-box and quite easy, but now I've got this little issue.

Another interesting thing I saw is that vaapi-fglrx package is marked as "mga2" and not "mga3", could be a driver/library connection issue?. I doubt it because I had the same fglrx driver in Mageia 2 (downloaded from AMD website) before installing Mageia 3 and worked fine. If anyone thiks it has relation, I will investigate.

Any other suggestion will be very much appreciated.

Mageia 3 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status 4 months ago.
http://blog.mageia.org/en/2014/11/26/lets-say-goodbye-to-mageia-3/ 

Mageia 3 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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 Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
