That's it! The bug fix degardes performance. But, there exists same bugs in the AMD processor, doesn't it?
Probably.

Your issue is related to hardware video acceleration. The issue is caused by (at least) one of these alternatives:
1. VLC is misconfigured. 2. Hardware acceleration is not set up properly for your AMD graphics card.
You can quickly fix this issue by;
vlc --> Interface --> Preferences --> Input / Codecs
set Hardware-related decoding to Disable.
Currently it is on automatic. Changing that, it works (with video output on automatic).
BTW, your result of vdpauinfo displays many '--not supported--' as follows;
I know, but I have no idea what to do about them. ...
The installation of the proprietary driver maight be the essentioal solution for your issue.
I have no idea if there is a proprietary driver for AMD or how to install it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
