[BUG] Hardware-Accelerated Decoding NO longer works in VLC 2.2.2

[lucai]

Hardware-accelerated decoding NO longer works in VLC 2.2.2

1) GPU is not used when I enable Hardware-Accelerated Decoding.
Steps to reproduce the bug:
- Go to settings -> Input/Codecs
- Set Hardware accelerated decoding to Automatic
- Open a MP4 or WMV file
Result:
GPU is not used, in fact the CPU usage is high
- VLC: CPU usage 25-30%
- Windows 10's App Video: CPU usage 2-3%

2) VLC 2.2.2 crashes when I enable Hardware-Accelerated Decoding.
Steps to reproduce the bug:
- Go to settings -> Input/Codecs
- Set Hardware accelerated decoding to DXVA 2.0
- Open a MP4 or WMV file
Result:
VLC crashes!

Why didn't you test this before releasing the new version? Verifying if the HW accelerated function works should be a common test for a video player. I'm shocked you failed

This is the CRASH DUMP:

I also have the same problem here
https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=130573

In other players everything works just fine. but in VLC i have stuttering and if I turn on hardware acceleration it crashes. Funny thing is that on the same pc when I use VLC in Ubuntu there is no stutter no matter on hardware acceleration and if I turn on acceleration it works. Othere players on windows like mpc-hc, kodi, pot, km,..... work aslo fine no matter on hardware acceleration

Hello, I'm going to check this.

[Ludrax]

1) GPU is not used when I enable Hardware-Accelerated Decoding.
Steps to reproduce the bug:
- Go to settings -> Input/Codecs
- Set Hardware accelerated decoding to Automatic
- Open a MP4 or WMV file
Result:
GPU is not used, in fact the CPU usage is high
- VLC: CPU usage 25-30%
- Windows 10's App Video: CPU usage 2-3%

it seems that Automatic equals Disabled setting

[Lotesdelere]

it seems that Automatic equals Disabled setting

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

It is normal that automatic is disabled, in 2.2.x

It will change in 3.0.0, where it will be the default.

It is normal that automatic is disabled, in 2.2.x

It will change in 3.0.0, where it will be the default.

it's just that Automatic can lead to false conclusion that VLC will use acceleration. If default selection is Disabled, people would know they need to change it...

[Jean-Baptiste Kempf]

It's because it's different on Linux.

I had the same experience with the 32bit version: VlC crashed with hardwer-accelerated decoding on.
(As unfortunately 32bit version is selected for downloading by default, however my OS is 64bit)

Now I tried the 64bit version, and it works perfectly! CPU usage is low as expected.

Hardware Decoding in VLC 2.2.3 is still broken!
32-bit version.
