What patch are you exactly talking about? How do i apply it? Does it works on recent packages? |

You will need to create your own local overlay and create a libvdpau ebuild there. But doesn't work for me with the newly merged vdpau and flash. _________________ emerge --quiet redefined | E17 vids: I, II | Now using kde5 | e is unstable :-/ |

nope, worked here with great with latest flash and live vdpau.
is there even a bug about this? _________________ Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity and I'm not sure about the former - Albert Einstein |

thank you ...I applied the patch. No more avatar people...
BUT, i'm runing gentoo on a 1,6Ghz atom(2Gb ram), so i only get a acceptable performance with booth accelerated rendering AND decoding (puting EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg) and flash crashes sometimes with this.
flash really sucks... |

Security vulnerabilities aren't a compelling reason? And, as I already said earlier in the thread, the only reason 11.1 works is because it has hardware presentation deactivated.
How about if you set enable_flash_uv_swap=0 in /etc/vdpau_wrapper.cfg? And do you by any chance have EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg? |

so what is the alternative? please offer a plugin which supports all aspects and not forces us to install gstreamer. _________________ Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity and I'm not sure about the former - Albert Einstein |

It's already mentioned in the thread. But to repeat it yet again (maybe this time it'll stick)...
10.3 is still maintained. The version currently in portage is vulnerable, but Adobe provides a newer version that isn't.
If 10.3 doesn't work right for you, use 11.2, disable hardware decoding (comment out EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg) and use the libvdpau patch to fix the blue people. Yeah, with that you're without hardware decoding (duh...), but you at least have hardware presentation.

1. Use new flash which *never* works in my case (blue tints)
2. Use old flash which is insecure, but which works (but I don't visit random sites).
Since I tend to not visit any arbitrary sites, I will clearly pick the option that is suitable for me. It doesn't help that some important sites often use flash.

I have tried it and it works (with the default settings in /etc/vdpau_wrapper.cfg) when I use my browser as root. But it doesn't work as user. I deleted ~/.adobe and ~/.macromedia to wipe out any user settings, and it still doesn't work.
The file /etc/adobe/mms.cfg does not even have any string containing "EnableLinux" in it.
EDIT: 1. Flash shows correct colors in firefox as user, or in opera/firefox as root
2. Shows blue tint in opera as user. _________________ emerge --quiet redefined | E17 vids: I, II | Now using kde5 | e is unstable :-/ |

For those people that are only now trying to apply Stephen Warren's patch, I had to insert the following line above the "epatch" line in the ebuild to get the patch to apply:
Code: | EPATCH_OPTS="-F 3 -l" |

So, I have another question about the current flash player.
If I export VDPAU_NVIDIA_NO_OVERLAY=1, the player on Comedy Central's Daily Show page crashes. Is anybody else getting this behavior? This is under chromium.
Cheers,

Hmm, I have built libvdpau from sources and with the attached patch. Still I see blueish people in flash, and I think it started after last upgrade of mesa and ati drivers.
Code: |
x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.14.6-r1
media-libs/mesa-8.1_rc1_pre20120724
www-plugins/adobe-flash-11.2.202.236
|
Is there anything more I should do? _________________ BTW, TWM FTW! |

Thank you very much for this. This solved the blue people problem for me. |

Thanks, this is the best solution out of all the alternatives (no security issues, no crashes due to HW acceleration and of course no blue people)
Maybe this should be pushed to libvdpau portage with something like a "fixflash" USE flag. |

As I noted a month ago, the patch fixes flash on firefox but not on opera. _________________ emerge --quiet redefined | E17 vids: I, II | Now using kde5 | e is unstable :-/ |

Why is that? Does Opera have its own static libvdpau or is it something else?
(the patch works for chromium too) |

Try with VDPAU_NVIDIA_NO_OVERLAY=1, it fixed the crashes for me and at least one other person. |

Why is this patch (and ebuild) still not in portage? It's very old now, and a lot of people seem to bump into the issue.
