Description Vasilis Liaskovitis 2015-08-11 21:27:43 UTC 
GST_GL_API=opengl GST_GL_PLATFORM=glx GST_DEBUG=3,*vaapi*:5,*gl*:5   gst-launch-1.0 playbin uri=file:////opt/Videos/test.mp4 video-sink=glimagesink

Output flickers or drops frames. Perhaps the texture sharing/copying between vaapi and gstglcontext has issues.

Output has no problem with normal sink (vaapisink)

Comment 2 Víctor Manuel Jáquez Leal 2016-07-27 14:51:34 UTC 
Other VA backends, besides intel or gallium, are blacklisted (bug 764673) because they are currently unmaintained, I'm closing this bug as invalid since it refers to libva-vdpau-driver which is unmaintained, thus unsupported.

You can try with gallium backend, available in recent versions of mesa.
