Bug? flashplugin crashes, downgrading libvdpau solves it

Since this morning Flash has been crashing both in Firefox and Chromium in my 64bits installation.
Making the suggested changes to /etc/adobe/mms.cfg makes no difference.
After downgrading libvdpau (0.6-2 => 0.6-1) flashplugin works normally again.

Did I find a bug or am I doing something wrong?

EDIT: Oh! https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=145408

Re: Bug? flashplugin crashes, downgrading libvdpau solves it

So from the thread you linked, solutions are
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p1154347 and
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p1163327

Although I'd be very careful of the -c option when removing things with pacman. (I doubt -c is actually necessary)

Re: Bug? flashplugin crashes, downgrading libvdpau solves it

pacman -Rs flashplugin
rm -rf ~/.adobe/
pacman -S flashplugin

This did not help me.

Every video on youtube is like this anyway:

Same problem here.

pacman -Rs flashplugin
rm -rf ~/.adobe/
pacman -S flashplugin

This did not help me too.

But downgrading libvdpau (0.6-2 => 0.6-1)  solves the problem.

Disable acceleration in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg

Also if you are using chromium you should use chromium-pepper-flash from aur.

Do you mean setting EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode to 0?
It doesn't make any difference in Firefox, Flash still crashes with libdvpau 0.6-2

This works for Chromium.

Confirmed. Downgrading to libvdpau-0.6-1 solved the problem for me too.

Re: Bug? flashplugin crashes, downgrading libvdpau solves it

Doesn't the "2" in "0.6-2" represent just the pkgrel? I'm looking at the PKGBUILD for libvdpau, and it seems that 0.6-2 is really using the same source as 0.6-1. I just downgraded that way since I didn't have the old package anymore, and it hasn't helped at all. Can someone point me to a source for the working libvdpau downgrade package?

Re: Bug? flashplugin crashes, downgrading libvdpau solves it

After upgrading of mesa and nouveau-dri youtube videos seem to work but not always. Sometimes they start normally, sometimes they crash, greatly slowing down my system. So downgrading libvdpau to 0.6-1 is still best option.

Find 0.6-1 in the ARM http://arm.konnichi.com/

The difference is 0.6-2 is compiled with DRI2-support while 0.6-1 is not. This apparently exposed a bug in the nouveau driver.

I don't think it is a bug with nouveau... I'm using the proprietary NVidia drivers and the same thing happens to me.

Re: Bug? flashplugin crashes, downgrading libvdpau solves it

New version of libvdpau 0.7-1 does not change anything :-(

Youtube videos take long time to load with impossibility to use browser and with "crash" window after all.

Version 0.8-1 of libvdpau just came out, but it does not change anything either :-(

Every attempt to watch online video ends with crash message.

Am I doing anything wrong?
