Created attachment 8613 Fix The configuration option "Display/Video Output" set to automatic doesn´t work as expected. At least with gstreamer 1.14.4 and the hw accelerated gstreamer element vaapi installed, this option fallbacks to xvimagesink . This is due to the fact that the option tries to use the element "autoimagesink" while there is only an "autovideosink". Find attached a patch fixing this issue.

I've found that the video does not load anymore after applying this fix. Possibly related, double-clicking to go fullscreen causes a segfault. (parole:9214): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: 12:51:23.404: invalid cast from 'GstAutoVideoSink' to 'GstNavigation' Segmentation fault (core dumped)
