Description:
The current version will crash Firefox tab if used to provide HW video acceleration as described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Firefox#Hardware_video_acceleration The reason for this is described here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1693073#c17. One of the libva-vdpau-driver clones was patched specifically to prevent this: https://github.com/xtknight/vdpau-va-driver-vp9/pull/14 I believe this patch needs to be ported to the package
Additional info:
- package version(s) 0.7.4-5
- config and/or log files etc.
- link to upstream bug report, if any https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1693073
Steps to reproduce:
- Configure VA-API to use libva-vdpau-driver
- Enable HW acceleration in Firefox https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Firefox#Hardware_video_acceleration
- Visit Netflix
- Examine the coredump produced by the crashing tab Program terminated with signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
