Created attachment 5450 Top green line. Green lines while playing back videos. Problem does NOT exist in other gstreamer based player Totem. In Xubuntu 13.10 there was no such problem. System: Xubuntu 14.04, Parole 0.6.1, xorg radeon driver.
While I've seen this as well and confirmed that it's not a bug in Parole, but likely in gstreamer1.0. (I'm seeing the bug with Nvidia proprietary drivers by the way.) (If you want to verify for yourself that the green lines are a bug in gstreamer, please install gstreamer1.0-plugins-base-apps and then run "gst-play-1.0 $videofilename".) If you find a video of public domain you could post for gstreamer devs to reproduce, that'd be mighty helpful! Thanks!
We've recently implemented the gstreamer clutter backend in parole, which should resolve this issue. It's in git master now and a compile-time option, but if you can, please test whether it fixes the issue for you. Thanks!
Hi! This bug is still exist. Not always green, but red, blue, purple as well on my laptop, and not just top and bottom, but whole frame around the picture. System: Xubuntu 14.04, Parole 0.6.1., i915 drv
This bug seems to be in gstreamer's XV extension and switching to the clutter backend (that we released in 0.7.0) resolves it.
Same problem : changing the video output and disabling Xv resolves the problem. Thank You Simon. System: Xubuntu 14.10, Nvidia GF 650M
As this bug can be worked around by using the clutter backend (and since it's a gstreamer issue and not a bug in Parole) I'm closing this bugreport.
