Are you using EXA or XAA?

I probe the two options with the same result.

I'm seeing the same with an XGI card, but only with 1920x1080i source material at the moment. Output display is a 1280x1024 LCD, and 1280x720p material plays back fine, as does 720x480i material. Its only the 1920x1080i stuff that results in blue where the video ought to be. Xv scaling bug? Not enough offscreen memory being allocated for that big an Xv surface?

I'm not sure what the actual overlay limits are but the driver currently only announces a 1024x1024 overlay:

    maximum XvImage size: 1024 x 1024

That's probably why you are getting the colorkey rather than the overlay data.  Also there may be slight differences in the overlay on the XP5 which could cause problems as well.  I don't know that alanh messed with the overlay when he added XP5 support.

I was *just* about to add these comments when you commented, Alex.

I saw the 1024x1024 max xv texture size, and that prompted me to look at my own output. Its 1920x1080 here. I'd have to double-check, but I'm pretty sure the video was 1920x1080, and not 1920x1088, which some broadcasters do to combat overscan issues. (In either case, upping the max xv texture size a bit would be good).

Your card is one of the sis based xgi chips. the XP5 is trident based.  These are actually separate issues as they involve different drivers (sis vs. trident).  In your case I would guess the overlay is on the wrong crtc.  Try toggling the XV_SWITCHCRT attribute or if you are using dualhead try the other crtc.

Whoops, saw "XGI" and somehow ignored the trident bit. In that case, I'll open a new bug once I do a bit more poking...

Single-head only. I'll double-check that Xv is on the right crtc, but I'm pretty sure the 720p and 480i playback that worked fine was using Xv on this display.

...and I'm actually not going to bother with opening a bug, my situation turned out to be application-specific. Application is question tries to use a multiple of 16 for its Xv surface sizes, thus was trying 1920x1088, which was indeed bigger than the max supported surface (1920x1080). Sorry for the noise. :)

You could try bumping the limit to 1088 in the driver. It may actually support 2048 or something like that, but was limited to 1080 since that is a common HDTV size.

Just nudging up to 1088 works, and I filed bug 10075 to track it. Thanks much!

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.
