Subject description: I have a patch, how do I use it? (patch for vdpau) FIXED		  
Hello,

- There is a known bug with the latest Flashplayer (vdpau) - blue bug - quite funny look at the attached image.

- However there is a fix - some sort of patch:
Quote:
"Implement two workarounds:

1) Swap U and V planes to VdpVideoSurfacePutBitsYCbCr to fix blue-tinged
videos.

2) Disable VdpPresentationQueueSetBackgroundColor, so that Flash doesn't
set the background to pure black or pure white, which would cause the
VDPAU image to bleed through to other parts of the desktop with those
very common colors."


- URL with information on this: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/vdpau/2012-May/000022.html
http://www.ubuntuvibes.com/2012/06/fix-for-blue-faces-in-flash-video-bug.html

- Ubuntu has it easy they only need to type:


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tikhonov/misc
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libvdpau1

- However how can this patch be applied to Puppy Linux (Fatdog 64 bit) ?



- Another workaround people mention is to disable hardware accleration - but that is not a fix - because need hardware acceleration so movies play nicely.

- Many thanks for help - and would gladly pay for help on this.


Best regards,
Johan

Karl's probably right. If you read the replies on Ask Ubuntu, should be one of the two under LTS..

If not those, maybe here? Then again- I suppose you could just as well downgrade.. 10.3.183.19.

Of course, it is a patch for vdpau, not for flashplayer.

John, first thing i would try is to "steal" the /usr/sbin/xorgwizard from Lighthouse Puppy to get the proper Xorg driver loaded correctly.

With compiling extra graphic drivers for nvidia as i should now, i had not have the time. Running Xorg-seerver-1.3.0 with the vesa driver .

The nvdia source should compile these nvidia-libvdpau.so* i guess. Don't know which one of the many Nvidia drivers would be best for your Graphics Card.

Shinobar had compiled a couple of nvidia drivers recently.

I am running Macpups based on Puppy 4.3 mainly with 32bit kernels-2.6.30 with and without PAE on my 64bit machine.

Sure you could - grab the source from
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~aplattner/libvdpau.
I can't - I don't have a 64bit machine.

Jamesbond might be interested. Send the link of this thread to 007 ie Fatdog thread. Jamesbond has created nvidia proprietary driver pet which has 64 bit libvdpau included. He might be interested to patch libvdpau since he has created that nvidia pet manually copying the needed files and.... patching the relevant files into the pet could be something he is interested.

Pemasu: Mailing Jamesbond directly - i think this is a most welcomed patch - since the latest player has a lot of speed advantages.


Disciple: Tested to download that: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~aplattner/libvdpau = got no errors when i compilied it (autogen.sh / configure / make / make install). But still the movies are blue... .


Karld Godt: Ok but have you tested that patch? since everyone on Linux testing the new flashplayer will get this strange blu smurf bug.


Best regards,
Johan

here's a patch that patches libflashplayer.so......

Code:
cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
perl -pi.bak -e 's/libvdpau/lixvdpau/g' libflashplayer.so


then restart the browser.

not sure if the devx needs to be installed or not

Prevent Flash Player from finding libvdpau

(Via Daniel Mario Vega on Launchpad)

Run the following commands (given you have adobe-flashplugin package installed):

cd /usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/
sudo perl -pi.bak -e 's/libvdpau/lixvdpau/g' libflashplayer.so

The change takes effect after restarting the browser.

This will modify Flash Player's binary to search for non-existent "lixvdpau" library instead of "libvdpau". Therefore it won't attempt to use VDPAU presentation at all.

The command creates libflashplayer.so.bak backup of the binary in case you run into any problems.

You need to run this command every time there's a Flash Player update since your change will be overwritten.

With this workaround you can keep HW acceleration on, have libvdpau1 installed and it's very easy to apply compared to patching libvdpau


If you don't have perl installed, the exact same syntax using 'sed', instead of perl, will do the same thing.
