Totem log

Hello!

With the update to Mesa 18, I have been having issues with Gnome's Totem player. The issue also appears with Cheese and Maps.

After updating Gnome to 3.28.X, Totem got some update that made the software completely unusable for me. 

1) Seeking does not work
2) Pause button does not respond
3) Next/Previos does not respond
4) Seeking menu does not work when clicking on a time frame to jump to
5) Full screen creates strange red visual artifacts
6) The video timer looks strange. Some visual artifacts are present
7) Playback of a video is very slow. There is some serious lag

I have made an illustrative video of the problem hosted here: https://webmshare.com/rarKQ

I have some logs by using GST_DEBUG_NO_COLOR=1 GST_DEBUG=*:2 totem 2> log
These logs are attached here.

Totem version: totem 3.26.0+37+g84700147-1
Gstreamer version: gstreamer 1.14.0-1

The Totem developers told me to refer to Meas. I opened a bug in their tracker: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795514

Let me know how I can give more information to you if needed. I have no idea my self what else to look for.

I can reproduce this: Totem 3.26 is basically unable to play MPEG-4 or H.264 Videos on AMD graphics cards using Mesa 18.0.3. It hangs, lags, and uses almost all available CPU resources. I'm using X11 (Debian/testing) and tried any combination of Mesa 17 or 18, Linux 4.15 or 4.16, amdgpu.dc=0 or amdgpu.dc=1. I've tried various AMD graphics cards: GCN 1 (Tahiti), GCN 2 (Bonaire) and GCN 4 (Polaris11).

Comment 2 kaspar.tint 2018-05-19 18:21:40 UTC

Can verify that this issue has resolved it self for me after the upgrade of these components:

gnome -> 3.28.1
mesa -> 18.0.3
linux -> 4.16.9
xorg -> 1.20

Might have been the mesa update but could be the combination of them? I don't know...

What distro are you using? I'm experiencing this on gnome 3.28.1, mesa 18.0.3, linux 4.16.5, xorg 1.19 (all from Debian/testing). Could this be an xorg issue?

Comment 4 kaspar.tint 2018-05-22 07:09:03 UTC

Xorg or Linux then or a combination or all of them? I use Arch Linux - I think right when I updated Xorg.. the issue got fixed actually. But the same update also contained upgrades for Mesa and Linux kernel... So it's hard to say

Comment 5 Richard B. Kreckel 2018-05-24 21:49:50 UTC

It must be Xorg.

I've upgradee to Xorg 1.20 (without upgrading anything else) from Debian/experimental and this problem has disappeared for good.

...which is not to say that things work, now.
In a way it's worse than before but this seems to be another problem: <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/totem/issues/241>.
(I'm posting this here for the record.)
