Jeez folks, this is Arch. Where you're encouraged to learn stuff.

Thanks, I just did (and it was not hard).
Perhaps this lowers the threshold (or saves two minutes of time).
Copy/past into terminal:

mkdir libvdpau-git
cd libvdpau-git
# running code directly from some random site is bad security practice AND kills kittens, sorry for encurageing it.
wget http://hem.bredband.net/jserver/flash_hack.patch
wget http://hem.bredband.net/jserver/PKGBUILD
makepkg
sudo pacman -U libvdpau-git-201?????-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Now I really hope this patch works

Take a look at this: Adobe drops Flash for Linux... and the other flash breakage thread has an interesting post seemingly confirming adobe will not fix theese 11.2 issues, here.

Make you wonder how much Microsoft paid them to discontinue Linux support, and to leave us stuck with a broken version. Heh.

Solution from JKAbrams helped me, I just had problem with undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL, solved by installing package libtool. Thanks!

I have I hard time imagining that thay could have done anything worse to the linux version if they tried, so parhaps they did...

On topic: I can confirm that the patch solves the blue tint and the new crash bug, after using it for about a week on lots of different sites.
There is now a package in AUR: libvdpau-git-flashpatch 20120510-1

I commented out:

#EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1
#OverrideGPUValidation=true

in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg to make it work properly.

What I don't get is why the maintainer of the libvdpau in the official repository hasn't patched it yet "officially" though.

a) He may not know about it.
b) It's a total hack. Much prettier than the other hacks, but still a hack.

kokoko3k · 2012-05-15 16:23:49

I join the voices claiming the variable export workarounds the issue, cpu usage is the same.
Anyway, flash doesn't tears at all, that's strange because mplayer does.
Tested mplayer and firefox with this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vZvqNBGagw

-EDIT-
Seems there is tearing (mplayer or flash) only when you play 2 videos at the same time or something other is moving on the screen, definitely acceptable.
Another good thing on using the blit path seems to be the lower X.org cpu consumption when the window manager is forcing vsync, or at least, happens with kwin.

merilius · 2012-06-15 22:14:27

patching (library) A to fix a problem in (program) B is an ugly workaround.
But I applied the libvdpau-git-flashpatch patch anyway and it works fine for me.
I hope Adobe fixes the problem or... dies.

I also noticed resizing youtube videos takes about 5 minutes, during which the system is very unresponsive. Could that be related to this problem? Using up-to-date arch x64 system with nvidia binary drivers btw.

This is probably related to hardware decoding of videos not the library issue. See post #79 of this thread and pay attention to the /etc/adobe/mms.cfg section.

Did you try installing that package or what? Or you have patch package installed and there is an issue...?

Edit: Grammar.
/Edit 2: Even better, if you don't have it installed, just go ahead and install the whole "base-devel" group

Yeah. I reported to AUR. Thanks.

Did you mark it out of date and add:

?

This is not correct, you (and/or that Wiseacre) should follow the wiki: AUR: Getting Started,
The very first point is important, the package is not out of date and it should not have silly dependencies added because people are too lazy to read while learning the basics. Hopefully you got it built and working though

After reading this whole thread, I still do not know if this solution disables HW acceleration putting more strain on CPU, or not.

Gusar · 2012-08-24 17:17:49

Yes it puts more strain on the CPU, as the video is decoded in software. Better higher CPU usage than crashes.

If you absolutely need hardware decoding, try flash 10.3.183.23. Note, this version (ends in .23) was just released, as there were again a bunch of vulnerabilities found. Get it here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplay … tion3.html, the stuff fixed in it is here: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/b … 12-19.html

Lockheed · 2012-08-24 17:20:27

Well, I tried the JKAbrams' solution and it did not make any difference. The blue is orange and the orange is blue.

I am going back to flashplugin 11.1.102.63-1 and adding 'flashplugin' to the ignore list in 'pacman.conf'.

Gusar · 2012-08-24 17:30:26

11.1 hasn't been maintained for a while now, which means it's vulnerable to all the stuff that was fixed in 11.2 and 10.3 over the past months. And the only reason it works is because it doesn't do hardware presentation. If you compiled libvdpau with the patch, you should not have screwed up colors.
