confirmed on ubuntu 16.04 using the ppa.launchpad.net/videolan/master-daily/ubuntu

OSD works only when switching to non-opengl video output (e.g. xv).

Maybe a bad build?

I'm not the guy of the first post. Anyway, in my case Vlc is 2.2.1, which depends on libavcoded54 version >=9.1 (installed is 9.18).

I also find strong lags with Ubuntu 14.04 on i7-4650U when playing HEVC 1080p videos (sometimes also 720p!).
ffplay is definitely faster, but still not enough. I've tried to disable loop-filter and it seems to help with ffplay, but with vlc I can't see any difference.
