I have a SDcard with the "XBMC" media-player image based on the blog
article here:
http://rsalveti.wordpress.com/2012/01/06/hw-video-decode-and-xbmc-ubuntu-linaro/
Yesterday, I did a "atp-get update" / "apt-get upgrade" and now
video-playback does not seams to work anymore. (I think there was an
upgrade of xbmc included).
When I play a video (e.g. video file-playback from RSS feed or from the
XBMC vimeo plugin) I get audio and a kind of "grey" screen; but no videos.
Youtube also has the same problem. (althou it didn't work at at before
the upgrade).
Anybody any simular results?
Cheerio! Kr. Bonne.
Yeah, it got broken after the latest syslink package update. I
reverted the change yesterday, and it seems to be working again.
Can you please run apt-get update/upgrade again and share your results?
Thanks!

Is this with XBMC or when using with Totem or any other gst-based player?
There's one issue with our current XBMC version, so it should behave
better with the new version we're about to upload.
Cheers,
I also did an upgrade and seams to get the simular problems as nlvr
(althou I didn't really try all different video formats).
I guess Ricardo is the person who can initiate a rollback the most easy.
If somebody wants me to more tests on this problem or send debug output,
feel free to ask.
Cheerio! Kr. Bonne.
Yes, I was also able to reproduce such issue with the latest packages.
I know Avik was updating XBMC again based on latest upstream plus
gst/eglimage enablement, but something I didn't yet check myself.
Please don't upgrade it for know, and we'll update the status again
once we know what the issues are.
Thanks,
Can you update your packages and give it another try?
I updated a few packages and finally got it all working on my board
again. Just tested getting 12.03 and running apt-get
update/dist-upgrade and after the reboot it worked fine :-)
Testing manually with gst-launch can also help understanding the issues, like:
gst-launch-0.10 playbin2 uri=file:///home/linaro/Videos/foobar.mp4
If it fails, can you also remove .gstreamer-0.10/ and try it again?
Thanks!

More additionally - watching a 720/25p H264 / AAC video on SVT Play I get the following stats in XBMC :
With this image you need to install ubuntu-omap4-extras-multimedia
first, so you can get the extra packages for hw video decode support.
If you grab the
http://releases.linaro.org/images/12.03/oneiric/linarotv-xbmc/
instead, just apt-get update/dist-upgrade should be enough.
Cheers,

Awesome, thanks for confirming it :-)
the link "http://releases.linaro.org/images/12.03/oneiric/linarotv-
xbmc/" is forbidden for me. Is anybody else having this problem?
The error message is:
"You don't have permission to access /12.03/ubuntu/oneiric-images/
linarotv-xbmc/ on this server."
