Trying to play H264 videos, the video is black until I stop and play again or

I noticed you are using mplayer2, does it do this with mplayer as well? Will 
you be able to test SVN as I don't have any vdpau hardware to duplicate this 
problem with. I have an idea of how it might be fixed, but I will need your 
assistance to verify it.

works fine with mplayer

Try SVN r2144, it may help.

You also might try getting the latest version of mplayer2 and see if that helps.

same error in latest git mplayer2 version

I got this email from my mplayer2 contact...

I'm not aware of any issues which would cause that. I tried current
gnome-mplayer (except before your latest commit which you said could
help) and it worked fine with -vo vdpau, both with and without hardware
decoding.

The report fails to clearly specify whether the problem is specific to
both -vo vdpau and h264 (I doubt it really is).

I've tried with a wmv and it causes the same error
Could it be because of the libav version?. I'm using 4:0.6.2-1ubuntu1

Executing
mplayer -vo vdpau, -vc 
ffmpeg12vdpau,ffh264vdpau,ffwmv3vdpau,ffvc1vdpau,ffodivxvdpau, file.wmv
Works fine for h265 and wmv

Ok, I put another change into gnome-mplayer to restart mplayer if mplayer emits 
"Error when calling vdp_output_surface_create". Hopefully it will work as I 
have no way of testing this change.

Not work, now start playback in black screen and at 4 or 5 seconds, player stop 
and I can't play file again

In the log, at the end I click stop and play and finally close

Can you update from SVN and try one more time?

Sometimes I also get this error:
MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: check_framedrop

And some X corruption

Ok, I have removed that code now. Apparently I cannot make mplayer2 and vdpau 
work on your system.

Sorry but it seems that it was working for h264 but not for wmv

I don't really do much special for wmv files, unless they are in DivX format. 
And in that case I disable the divx vdpau encoding and restart mplayer. The 
fact that the mplayer2 developer was unable to duplicate your issue may mean 
that that are other factors involved. Upgrading your video driver may also help.

I've updated to 275.09.07 and there is no change
My system is a dell inspiron 1720 with a GeForce 8600M GT. Ubuntu 11.04
If there is any change I'll notify
Thanks for your effort.

Can you try this workaround...

get the source code, open src/libgmtk/gmtk_media_player.c

locate the function socket_realized

Comment out this line

gtk_widget_modify_bg(GTK_WIDGET(player->socket), GTK_STATE_NORMAL, 
&(style->black));

A simple // in the front of the line should do that... then rebuild and test. 
It may be due to a color setting issue in the vdpau output.

Doesn't work, the only difference is that the video takes the window color

If you have the time, can you test the SVN code? Changes have been made that 
may correct your issue.

It seems to work every thing fine with 1.0.7, in Ubuntu 12.04 and nvidia driver 
310.32
Sorry for not reporting it before, I don't use to play wmv videos
Thanks for your work
