Yup, still valid. I've never even had intel-vaapi-driver installed since I'm using an Nvidia card with VDPAU. But VA-API is supposed to work with VDPAU as a backend using the vdpau-va-driver. And it does "sort of" work when using VLC and libav (still relatively high CPU usage), so I decided to try it with gstreamer codecs as well. But the I ran into this bug.
It appears the presence of gstreamer-vaapi is enough to trigger the bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to shotwell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/946742 Title: Shotwell crashes on start with gstreamer0.10-vaapi To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/intel-vaapi-driver/+bug/946742/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
