stop or end of video make vlc crash with vaapi enabled

[bernd_b]

Can't find anything related to this, so I may asked:

Current vlcs (e.g. 2.1.3) play fine with h264-Video, but at the end of the video or when pressing the stop button vlc vanish into nothing. Playing the same videos without vaapi enabled (hw acceleration disabled at all) don't make vlc disappear pressing the stop button or reaching the end of the video.

I watch this on archlinux on a pc with intel HD 2000 Graphics.

Has someone else noticed this? Someone else with intel HD Graphics using vaapi without these observations?

Update libavcodec, this is a known bug.

Do I just have to update ffmpeg/libav (to current git?!) or do I have to recompile vlc as well?

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Depends if it is the same ABI version or not.

Thanks for watching and help .

Sadly, I had no luck so far. With todays ffmpeg-git vlc works in principally on my intel-HD-2000 Graphics PC, but vlc crashes even immediately after pressing the play button when vaapi is enabled. No problems so far when it is disabled. It doesn't seem to matter whether I use a recompiled version of vlc or not.

So I may have to wait for next releases and in between enjoy a working combination with vaapi working at all.

To my surprise I am happy to say that the described problems aren't noticeable so far with a fresh compile from git (version of last Saturday).

In between, I tried the new vlc 2.1.5 from the repositories of arch linux, but the problem persists.

Still no problems with my git compile (r2.1.0git3527g1172ce6).
