Description Germano Massullo 2015-09-03 10:19:16 UTC

I received two feedbacks from Fedora 22 users about the following problem:
HTML 5 videos with only sound working and black screen.
That happened using different VGA (nVidia:nouveau and Intel) and different browsers (Firefox and Konqueror).
Both users have all gstreamer plugins 0.x and 1.x installed, and now I provide gstreamer packages list and lspci of one of the two machines

Downstream bugreport https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1259669

Comment 2 Tim-Philipp Müller 2015-09-03 10:29:57 UTC

What is the URL of the video?

Does it work with gst-play-1.0 ?

Could you provide a (compressed) GST_DEBUG=*:6 log of the first few seconds of playback please?

Comment 3 Nicolas Dufresne (ndufresne) 2015-09-03 13:40:34 UTC

To be fair, I would prefer if this get first sorted on the distribution bug (which is downstream by the way). The reported bug on bugs.redhat.com is incomplete. We don't even know if this is in WebKit or Firefox. Also, we have a list of GStreamer 0.10 version, which are completely useless.

It's a problem of gstreamer1-vaapi.
Opening an appropriate bugreport
