Sorry, the video is wrongly played by totem, using MPV the video is ok.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

That video is playing correctly in totem on both 22.04 and 20.04 here. Can you provide a screenshot of when the bug is happening?

problem also with any webm video created by cheese

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

I believe that totem now uses gstreamer1.0-gl for rendering, starting in Ubuntu 22.04. So that should be tracked too.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Do you get the issue if you do

$ gst-play-1.0 --videosink="glsinkbin sink=gtkglsink" video.webm
(where video.webm is the filename of what you try to play)

Does uninstalling gstreamer1.0-vaapi fixes the issue?

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

with gst-play-1.0 --videosink="glsinkbin sink=gtkglsink" ...
i have the same problem

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

after removing gstreamer1.0-vaapi the problem DISAPPEAR

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

removing gstreamer1.0-vaapi solves also the problem
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gstreamer1.0/+bug/1978288

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Sounds like you're the lucky one because other people aren't getting as far with gstreamer1.0-vaapi installed (bug 1962630).

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thanks, I can confirm the issue and reported it upstream on https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gstreamer/-/issues/1273

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

installing intel-media-va-driver-non-free instead of intel-media-va-driver seems to workaround the issue

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Wow, yes installing intel-media-va-driver-non-free fixes it.

[corrado venturini (corradoventu)]

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Yes comment #16 shows the bug is in intel-media-va-driver. But if you install intel-media-va-driver-non-free instead then that should be free of the bug.
