cvlc LLVM error (cvlc does not work)
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

cvlc <filename> results in:

VLC media player 2.2.4 Weatherwax (revision 2.2.3-37-g888b7e89)
[0000000001d91508] dummy interface: using the dummy interface module...
[00007f6b64c02eb8] ts demux: HDMV registration not implemented for pid 0x1100 type 0x81
No accelerated IMDCT transform found
[00007f6b5c057088] vdpau_avcodec generic error: decoder profile not supported: 8
: CommandLine Error: Option 'asan-instrument-assembly' registered more than once!
LLVM ERROR: inconsistency in registered CommandLine options

and then exits.
using vlc playing the same file or stream is no problem, only the terminal version seems affected.

Event Timeline

I haven't been able to reproduce this, but it looks like cvlc is trying to use hardware acceleration and that vdpau doesn't support what it is trying to do.

interestingly enough, this error is now fixed, most likely due to the updated nvidia driver:
[00007f88e0c0c918] avcodec decoder: Using NVIDIA VDPAU Driver Shared Library 375.26 Thu Dec 8 18:03:32 PST 2016 for hardware decoding.

however, when closing the video window from within budgie, the terminal now gives this error:

00007f88b8001ca8] xcb_window window error: X server failure
[00007f88b8001268] vdpau_display vout display error: presentation queue display failure: A catch-all error, used when no other error code applies.

... and keeps playing the file (though you only have audio, since the window has been closed)

DataDrake claimed this task.

I'm closing this since the original issue was solved. If you are still having issues with audio on an updated system, feel free to open a new task for that issue.
