<div dir="ltr">I currently have a gpu hanging problem while using mythtv and vaapi on an Intel Core i5-2405S. I have tried using different versions of vaapi, Ubuntu and Debian and I am currently working with someone at Intel via <a href="http://freedesktop.org">freedesktop.org</a>. Here is the bug report:<br>
<a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71276">https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71276</a><br><br>Basically Intel has acknowledged the issue and is working on a solution. They have issued a patch for vaapi to remedy the gpu hang error which they say works in Mplayer for them. I tried the patch but the original issue still exists using Mythtv. I also tried the patch using VLC and the issue seems to be fixed where as prior VLC confirmed the Mythtv error. At this point there seems to be two video programs that work with the solution and one that doesn't. This is where I need some help from the Mythtv group since Intel has kinda halted on their end.<br>
<br>Another issue has arisen while working on a solution for the gpu hang error. During the last test using Mythtv the patch as well as Intel's experimental vaapi libva 1.2.2.pre2. The overall video quality changed, here is what I posted..."The video is now corrupted. The color is off. Reds, blues, etc...are not balanced but very bold on certain parts of the video. Kinda reminds me of sepa for a photo but with color extremes." I again tested with VLC with no problems. Also Intel doesn't have this issue. Here is a photo of the issue:<br>

I tested mythtv vaapi with and without de-interlacing, without any difference. Also VLC had vaapi enabled during testing.<br></div>
