Bug Description

Tested with the VLC Mediaplayer and the SMPlayer in a libertine container on the m10 with ota 11:
Video playback doesn't seem to use hardware acceleration, as fullscreen playback doesn't work properly. A video only plays properly after changing its size to something smaller, so playback itself is working.

This is actually Xmir using software rendering on armhf platforms as Glamor in Xmir on that platform is not ready for prime time.

Marking xorg-server and use the xmir tag.

I've mentioned 'armhf' in the title now. Just because in future when the DRI code path is enabled by default even it will only work on desktop x86/amd64. So a different code path again like glamor will be required for armhf.

summary: - no hardware acceleration for video playback
+ no hardware acceleration for video playback on armhf

It's only a limitation of Xmir right now. No need to keep the bug open in multiple tasks.
