Bug#271235: xserver-xfree86: [nv] XVideo fails silently (but visually) in mplayer
Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-7
Severity: important
Hello,
When I run mplayer with the XVideo output ("-vo xv"), a window comes up,
but stays entirely grey. No video is actually displayed. mplayer does
not issue any error messages. I verified that xserver-xfree86 version
4.3.0.dfsg.1-6 does not cause this problem for me. Other output modes
for mplayer work fine.
I am using the free software nv driver. I would be glad to provide
additional information and/or perform any needed tests.
Thanks very much for looking into this.
