Media flickering

[Neurotoxin001]

Steps to reproduce

1. Open any video/photo
2. Close this video/photo
3. Open any other video/photo
4. You will see for the 0.1 sec prevous video/photo

When I leafing through media with mousewheel or keyboard arrows there is no issue.

Expected behaviour

There should be no flickering of previous media when opening new media

Actual behaviour

There is flickering of previous media when opening new media

Operating system

Same on Windows 10 21H1

[Neurotoxin001]

Nobody else has such a problem? I don't know exactly which version it started in, but on 3.1 it's the same as 3.1.8. Even on clean Windows 10/11.

upd1: Tested it on 2.8.11 - no issue upd2: Fixed when I set "angle graphics backend" from auto to disable. I have GTX 1060 6GB videocard and 496.13 drivers if it can help. upd3: Tested "OpenGL", "Direct3D 9" - no issue upd4: Tested "D3D11on12", "Direct3D 11" - have issue upd5: I only have issue with this in Telegram. In games/google chrome all is fine upd6: All these tests was made with disabled animations upd7: In Google Chrome all is fine because it's using dx9 by default. Seems like Telegram using dx11 or dx11on12 with "auto" setting. But at the same time in games, for example World of Warcraft, I have dx12 and it's fine.

Can't be reproduced on void linux (wayland) on tdesktop 3.1.1

what's your video (gfx) card and what drivers version?

what's your video (gfx) card and what drivers version?

lenovo 330-15ikb - gpu intel 620 + nvidia mx150 Last Driver on both intel: 30.0.101.1069 (Date 11.02.2021) nvidia: 30.0.14.9676 (496.76) As i see i have problem today, maybe after last update telegram

Hey there!

This issue was inactive for a long time and will be automatically closed in 30 days if there isn't any further activity. We therefore assume that the user has lost interest or resolved the problem on their own.

Don't worry though; if this is an error, let us know with a comment and we'll be happy to reopen the issue.

I have the same issue on Linux 6.3.8-arch1-1 with Plasma 5.27.5 on Wayland with Intel Graphics :(

Turning OpenGL off made the bug disappear.

[Neurotoxin001]

Update.

• ANGLE Direct3D 9 with enabled HW accelerated video decoding: videos is green; • ANGLE Direct3D 9 with disabled HW accelerated video decoding: videos is pink;

All other ANGLE's (D3D 11 / 11on12) is fine with enabled and with disabled HW accelerated video decoding.

ANGLE OpenGL = Disabled (no animation when media rotate).

And no more media flickering, so bug is fixed for me. Tested on 3.8.10.

[Neurotoxin001]

Turns out the problem is not fixed even in 4.8.11. But it started to appear randomly and not often.

its still here, use d3d9 instead of auto solved the media flickering previous item issue for me

ok now the vids r green

[lankylonky22]

is there a way to use opengl rendering on windows

[Neurotoxin001]

OpenGL was disabled because it's even not working (it's been same as "Disabled"): https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/commit/c5718678ea9ffb7e82c8c3d19e36b4a9080965f7

For me on 4.9.2 these options is fine:

Flickering is still not fixed, but it started to appear randomly and not often.

nah this bug appears every time a pic is displayed

Can you record video?

[Aokromes]

preston said it will be fixed on next release.

[alexeynl]

I have the same issue.

Video demonstration:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdN6GR_VYgM

Timings: 5, 21, 24, 27 seconds.

Current Telegram version installed 4.11.7. Windows 10 and 11.

1. I have this issue on my ryzen 6800h laptop since i have bought it in july 2022.
2. I tried a lot of things since i july 2022: starting from reinstall windows (including windows 10) and ends with regular AMD drivers, Windows and Telegram updates.
3. Issue is not reproduced with Angle disabled. See the same video demostration starting from 40 seconds.
4. There is no issue on Linux on the same laptop.
5. Laptop has not standard display resolution 3200x2000 (16:10)

I had opened issue before: https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/issues/27130

I have the same issue after update to 4.12.2
