video with artifacts screen shot

Using mpv player:

mpv -vo vdpau -hwdec=vdpau file.wmv

I'm expiriencing a lot of artifacts appears on a screen during playback. Please see screenshot in attachment.

With next options:

mpv - vo vdpau -hwdec=no file.wmv

it plays good without any distortions.

So it seems the artifacts appears only with hardware acceleration enabled.

Note that the same issue us not only with git drivers but with stable too.

The hardware is just to old to take a look into this.

It's most likely just that the player doesn't correctly checks if the file can be played by the hardware or not.

Please provide the output of vdpauinfo.

Note that VLC also plays with artifacts. And  in earlier distro versions, 14.04LTS - 15.10 there was no such issues playing such files.

Comment 10 Christian König 2016-06-21 08:17:32 UTC 
Indeed the clip causes problems even on newer hardware as well. Going to take a look.
