Bug Description
After upgrading a Kubuntu Trusty x86_64 system to Utopic, VDPAU support has stopped working in all applications that use libav. In mplayer2, it prints "Cannot find codec 'h264_vdpau' in libavcodec..." and in VLC I get "[00007f9090000958] vdpau_avcodec generic error: decoder profile not supported: 6".
Changed in vlc (Ubuntu): | |
status: | Incomplete → Invalid |

This seems to be due to an API change in libav. They dropped the old API for using VDPAU decoding, which broke every application that uses VDPAU through libav. https:/ /libav. org/releases/ libav-10. 5.release
