VDPAU - Persistant failure after invalid VdpVideoSurfaceGetBitsYCbCr call

Yes, that file generates an immediate green screen and it never plays any file again until after a power cycle.

Can you point at the specific error message you're talking about?

Thanks.

Certainly,

Too many video packets in the buffer: (4096 in 3948080 bytes).Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.
vdp_video_surface_put_bits_y_cb_cr(4, 1, {0x13fec00, 0x1461c00, 0x147a800}, {704, 352, 352}, )

It starts to do something like that fairly early in the ffmpeg12 codec run, and when it does that, it pauses for a few seconds between frame update attempts, it takes well over half a hour to play back that 30 second twister clip.

If you notice, the (4096 in blah bytes) increases at a rate (seemingly) consistent with the buffer never actually getting flushed, just always appended to.

This only happens with the mplayer patched with your patches. I have no idea what it means, but it seems related to the VDPAU issue imho.

updated to .16, still doing the same thing

I remember the green screen problem used to occur in the past with mplayer + xv and certain nvidia driver versions.Maybe something similar is happening now with vdpau? In the past you could get around this by using "mplayer -vo gl2" or "-vo x11" but vdpau uses xv, correct?

This isn't a pure green screen, it's a very corrupt screen.

the vo is set to vdpau, which is required for vdpau, using any other vo setting won't allow vdpau to work.

Update: Still broken with 180.22.

One thought was that I might have over-wrote some of the card's firmware, is there anyway I can reflash the firmware?
