During the problem with the HD channels, sometimes the second monitor does fail to synchronize and flickers. The machine has one graphics card AMD with a HDMI and a VGA. The first monitor (main) is central and on the HDMI. It is a Messeltronik Dresden GmbH (Medion) MD20666 (HDMI-0) 1920 x 1080 with 60 Hz. The second on VGA is: Acer AL1716 (DVI-0) (1280x1024) with 60 Hz (can be run on 75 Hz but does not change anything. When the Hauppauge card becomes shaky with the HD picture on the Medion the Acer Monitor begins to flicker too. Changing to SD channel stops this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Thanks. Both outputs look good to me. I'm not familiar with kaffeine. Mabye you can explicitely chosse between VDPAU or VA-API and find a combination that works for you - as workaround.

as unique workaround I found (since also vlc is hit by this, kaffeine is only a frontend to it) that you have to deactivate both to well watch videos. So both vdpau and vaapi are gone. At most you can watch one movie without changing and afterwards "rien ne va plus". E.g. I did cut with vidcutter a hd movie, after no way to watch in kaffeine, no way to cut in vidcutter, just watch the uncut file in vlc without hardware acceleration. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

This is quite a mess. When this happens the temperature of the graphic card begins to climb. When you, as first instance after a reboot, begin e.g. with ZDF HD and DO NOT CHANGE a channel, the HD program will work. As soon as you change e.g. on ARTE HD it is broken and then it stays broken until reboot. Is kaffeine still a supported frontend for vlc or has it been abandoned? the frustrating thing is: there is no alternative for satellite TV in linus, at least not a userfriendly, easy working program. And that does not solve the cutting, converting issues.

Hence (in reminiscence of a former German - quite funny - politician) "I declare this incident as closed". To tell the truth, it appears that, if you have Kaffeine running for long and changing fast between HD channels, it may appear a disturbance and a flicker, but this seems to be a problem of Kaffeine as vlc works fine and shutting down Kaffeine an restarting it, within the very same session of plasma, resolves the issue instantly. So this may be a separate problem. In case it should become an annoyance, I will raise a different bug. But I really hope that the mesa/firware/kernel related part is fixed now. So closing it .... boldly going. Thank your for fixing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

This is the version of the rpm command. You could check the Mesa version with "rpm -q Mesa", but with current update to TW you should have the latest Mesa version available. Thanks for testing again!

- update to 21.1.6 * sixth bugfix release

Meanwhile we have newer Mesa in Tumbleweed 20211019

------------------------------------------------------------------- Fri Oct 15 09:14:11 UTC 2021 - Stefan Dirsch

- update to 21.2.4 * fourth bugfix release * 300 fixes from the new r300 maintainer! Additionally, panfrost, lots of crocus, some freedreno, intel, radv, core meas, gallivum, anv, spirv, gallim, aco, i915g, lima, and llvmpipe fixes. - supersedes U_gallivm-add-new-wrapper-around-Module.patch, U_gallivm-fix-FTBFS-on-i386-with-LLVM-13.patch

right, my fault. The 21.1.6 was already after dropping back to Wolfi's repo. It is the last known to work. The crash given was 21.2.4-292.1.x86_64.rpm Sorry, I am actually now used after every test to switch back to Wolfi's in order to have TV function. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
