mga7, x86_64, nvidia 430.64

Started with tainted versions.
Ensured that all packages were installed before updating.

Updated 37 packages.
Ran vlc using DestroyVLC.vlt skin (requires svlc).
Played HD video in .ts format - checked pulse audio via pavucontrol.
Tried a few other sound and video formats and sound only: mp4, webm, mkv, ogg, flac, wav, mp3, aiff, divx.  vdpau came up in the terminal log at one point.
Subtitles showed up when enabled.

No regressions for these simple tests.  Lacking a test for UpNp.
Good for tainted here.

Comment 6 Len Lawrence 2020-08-05 14:43:07 CEST
Switched to a partition with free versions of vlc components installed.
After checking that installed vlc manifest was complete updated all the packages.
Ran vlc against video and sound files with various formats:

mkv, webm, mp4, ts, avi, divx, ogg, flac, wav, mp3, flv, aiff.

All rendered perfectly.

Comment 7 PC LX 2020-08-05 21:43:09 CEST
Installed and tested tainted version without issues.


Tested with a variety of file formats and codecs (video and audio) from the local files, a upnp/dlna media server, podcasts, http(s) and rtsp (ip cam). Also CPU and GPU (VDPAU) decoding. All worked without issues.


System: Mageia 7, x86_64, Plasma DE, LXQt DE, Intel CPU, nVidia GPU using nvidia340 proprietary driver.

I'm here as vlc stopped playing the video track, only audio for (tested so far) a couple of mp4 and mkv, whereas I don't recall this failure before.

First, I uninstalled/re-installed vlc and the consequent dependencies.  No change.

Then, my output of this above command was lacking several packages by comparison and I installed, via urpmi:

$ rpm -qa --last | head

vlc-plugin-gnutls-3.0.11.1-1.mga7.tainted.x86_64 Sat 28 Nov 2020 08:36:53 AM PST

No change.  Also, kaffeine, mplayer, smplayer, dragon player play audio, no video.  ffplay, parole, xplayer, totem, seem to be able to play the files normally.

I searched and found a similar symptom in https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27377 against Cauldron.  I'd say I don't use these sorts of programs constantly but it seems vlc did not have this problem not so long ago.  Don't know whether this warrants a reopen, new bug, or what.

Thanks.

Comment 12 David Walser 2020-11-28 20:37:28 CET
Don't reopen a bug from a pushed update.  It sounds like you can add MGA7TOO to the whiteboard in Bug 27377.  Generally speaking you want to figure out the codec of the part that's not working, and then make sure you get the correct package installed for that.
