Bug Description

Adobe Flash support vdpau, but it is so unstable that it sometimes crashes even Xorg. It would be really nice to have working support for vdpau in lightspark to be able to enjoy full hd movies on low end hardware with nvidia cards.

From what I know ffmpeg has support for vdpau ( http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Njk3MQ ) so this shouldn't difficult to achieve

There's an old vaapi-support branch which if revived and working (no idea what the status was back then) may be able to support vpda via the vaapi-vdpau bridge. I am not sure how much these projects are properly upstreamed andshipped in modern distros.

Changed in lightspark:
