Bug#1076708: short screen blackouts on intel iris+ 640 gpu when watching videos, reports of CPU pipe FIFO underrun errors from i915 module in logs
Just in case I've just verified that the issue occurs both when watching videos with codecs that are and are not hardware-supportted by my GPU.
Nevertheless in case it matters I have the following video-related packages installed:
intel-media-va-driver:amd64 24.2.5+dfsg1-1
intel-media-va-driver:i386 24.2.5+dfsg1-1
i965-va-driver:amd64 2.4.1+dfsg1-1
i965-va-driver:i386 2.4.1+dfsg1-1
firmware-intel-graphics 20240610-1
the following packages are NOT installed:
intel-media-va-driver-non-free
i965-va-driver-shaders
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME env var is NOT defined
vlc has "Hardware-accelerated decoding" set to "Automatic"
When playing videos with H264 codec `intel_gpu_top` shows that the video engine is being used, for all other codecs it is idle.
Firefox config has been modified according to https://wiki.debian.org/Firefox#Hardware_Video_Acceleration instructions:
launcher is defined as the below:
Exec=env MOZ_X11_EGL=1 /usr/lib/firefox-esr/firefox-esr %u
related config variables are defined as follows:
media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled true
media.ffvpx.enabled false
media.av1.enabled false
I have verified with `intel_gpu_top` that the video engine is being used when watching videos in Firefox.
When I was trying to reproduce the bug on Ubuntu-24.04 I modified the config the same way and also verified with intel_gpu_top that the video engine was active.
