Bug Description
I tried streaming an mpeg stream (from a digital PVR) with vlc, but the result was a blank screen (I did get the audio).
The same streaming did work with mpv.
It also worked with vlc on another system I have, which has an Intel GPU (rather than an AMD one).
This was showing in the dmesg logs:
