Videos are glitchy. Anyway to fix this?

Zamore33 · 2026-04-29 20:01:39

I just got a 9070xt. but since then, my videos come out glitchy. On youtube, local videos, even my video wallpapers. Ive tried reinstalling libva, libva-utils, ffmpeg, Even tried -Syu, and reinstalling amd drivers. The only way I can get it to work is by disabling hardware acceleration. I record videos with obs, but i cant do that anymore. is there anything I can do to get it working? Im fairly new with arch so im not sure what else to try.

Can you quantify "glitchy"? (Miscolored, noise, dropping frames, flickering, …)
Does "mpv --hwdec=auto video.mp4" print any errors?

Here is a screenshot of what videos look like. https://postimg.cc/hhTKnTDh

Looks very pixelated.

When i run what you posted, this is the result from an mp4 file i have:

'-[%]-> mpv --hwdec=auto mylivewallpapers.com-Treehouse-Summer-Rain.mp4

Probably

mpv --hwdec=vaapi mylivewallpapers.com-Treehouse-Summer-Rain.mp4

mpv --hwdec=vaapi-copy mylivewallpapers.com-Treehouse-Summer-Rain.mp4
