VLC's image is scrambled when using XVideo

[rivode]

I'm getting purple or green spots on the video picture when playing videos with VLC. I changed the video output to OpenGL or X11, and the problem went away. When the window is maximized or full screen, the picture is fine.

This message appears when starting VLC:

Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_i965.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

but I didn't find this file when searching packages.ubuntu.com.

I haven't noticed this in any other applications, but I've only tried Totem, which works fine.

It looks like I was wrong about the VDPAU message - that appeared when I selected VDPAU output.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I have also this bug but it affect also MLT. I use Flowblade movie editor (which is based on MLT) (https://code.google.com/p/flowblade/) and I also have the same display bug in the viewer. I didn't check with kdenlive or openshot (those editing programs also use MLT for video processing)

I forget to give specifications about my OS and hardware :

- Ubuntu Gnome 15.04
- Asus UX305FA laptop with Intel Core M and HD graphics 5300

I've tried to upgrade Intel Graphics Drivers with Oibaf PPA but nothing change.

Of course, with VLC I can change the way of displaying video in VLC settings but I not possible for me to change that in Flowblade or MLT/melt

So that's a but in your XVideo driver, not in VLC then. Please reassign.

I am having the same problem on a Lenovo T450s. There are a few things also worth noting

 - After resuming from a suspend, the video plays just a black screen.
 - While resuming from a suspend the password prompt never loads properly. (a blank window but I know to enter password)
 - When rebooting, the ubuntu logo is scrambled around the screen until it shuts off.

Perhaps these are all related?

Here is what the video looks like.

Since I've upgrade the intel HD stuff with Oibaf PPA (https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers), everything is OK for me now. I know it's not a clean solution, but I needed it urgently.
