[workaround] No video in mplayer after resume on Intel GPU

I have Intel GM45 GPU running on standard mesa drivers and xorg.

I noticed that since about a week (I do regular daily updates), I no longer have video in mplayer after the system has been suspended and then resumed. Sound plays just fine, but instead of video, I only have either a black box (mplayer, VLC), or a transparent box (smplayer).

Here's mplayer's output:

Exiting... (Quit)

This problem starts only after resume. Running films after fresh boot works just fine.

Re: [workaround] No video in mplayer after resume on Intel GPU

I have the exact same problem with my Thinkpad and same GPU.  I didn't look further into it, but restarting X will also solve the problem until the next suspend.

Re: [workaround] No video in mplayer after resume on Intel GPU

Try with other video outputs:

mplayer -vo gl <other options here>

Re: [workaround] No video in mplayer after resume on Intel GPU

Using gl output works, but it is terribly slow. It is like watching slow-motion.

Re: [workaround] No video in mplayer after resume on Intel GPU

For me if I use "mplayer -vo gl" it exits with

intel_do_flush_locked failed: Invalid argument

Playing video over the framebuffer device works.

Try setting it in SMPlayer instead.

smplayer is just a GUI frontend for mplayer the error was the same.

When I tried using various vo gl options in SMplayer yesterday, they all worked (just slow).
But today when I tried it again to confirm it, it crashes. Strange...

Re: [workaround] No video in mplayer after resume on Intel GPU

Other outputs to try:

-vo gl_tiled
-vo x11
-vo sdl

Thanks, but this is beside the point. Even if they worked (and they don't), the fact remains that this is just a workaround and something remains broken.

This can still help indentifying the real problem. x11 worked for me always, sdl and gl_tiled has the same error with black video output. Btw there was a xf86-video-intel update so im not shure if that has changed something. Anyway I have the feeling that this problem is somewhat more complex because the error changes after a reboot and suspend. Sometimes I did several times suspend without that the video playback was affected but if I would suspend while the video was being played or I had used video playback in my browser before, the error would show up. One time even my browser (firefox 31) crashed with the same error as mentioned before

intel_do_flush_locked failed: Invalid argument

Chromium showed the error but did not crash.  Maybe its some kind of memory corruption? If you search for "memory corruption suspend" you will see that there were problems with the intel driver before.

Re: [workaround] No video in mplayer after resume on Intel GPU

x11 worked for me always

For me it also displays the video, but the framerate is low and it is like watching slow-motion.

there was a xf86-video-intel update so im not shure if that has changed something.

I checked. It didn't.

Apart from Intel, do you also have an ATI card on your laptop? I do, and I might enable it to see if it produces the same issue.

Re: [workaround] No video in mplayer after resume on Intel GPU

Same problem here on thinkpad x200s with Intel GMA 4500MHD. This is really annoying. I haven't searched for a solution since I barely use my laptop in the summer(lots of work, no time), and I hoped that an update would solve it, but I really hate the fact that I have to reboot every time I want to watch something.
Any success so far?

This thread:

solves the problem by switching from sna to uxa. Fixed it for me w.r.t. mplayer.

Re: [workaround] No video in mplayer after resume on Intel GPU

I can confirm it works. I did that some time ago, but was unsure whether this was what solved it.

Now, however, I have another problem. And it affects every video player I tried.

When the playback is switched to full-screen mode, the first time I do it - it works fine. But from the second one onwards, the "full-screen" video is not being centred, i.e. it does take the dimensions of the full screen, but it is not aligned with the screen, and so its top left corner may (at random) be in the centre of the screen, or anywhere else.

Here's the example of what I'm talking about:
http://postimg.org/gallery/62nqtz9m/13c23a45/
The first image is in playback in windowed mode, the second is after going full-screen.

Re: [workaround] No video in mplayer after resume on Intel GPU

I found the problem. It was cairo-compmgr. I went back to compton and all is well again.
