Description Barry Jackson 2017-05-28 14:45:11 CEST

Description of problem:
Attempting to display a web cam as a capture device in vlc results in a black screen with errors in terminal:

[00007fa47d10d8b8] vdpau_chroma filter error: video surface import failure: VDP_STATUS_INVALID_Y_CB_CR_FORMAT
libvdpau-va-gl: VideoSurface::PutBitsYCbCr_glsl(): not implemented source YCbCr format 'VDP_YCBCR_FORMAT_YUYV'

These repeat indefinitely.

This works fine in fully updated Mageia 5 and always has in the past.

Testing the uvc camera in guvcview in Mga6 works OK.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Checked on two very different machines running fully updated cauldron

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Using either a built-in webcam (laptop) or USB uvc webcam (Desktop)
2. Start vlc
3. Click media->open capture device->camera and select /dev/video0 in video device name selector.
4. Click Play button.

I got the same error as barjac using VLC from Cauldron core/release.

Assigning to the registered maintainer.

According to above this was a problem in Cauldron for mga6, which is EOL.

Now works for me in Mageia 7, vlc-3.0.12.1-1.1.mga7.x86_64
