--- Comment #1 from Nicolas Dufresne (ndufresne) <***@ndufresne.ca> ---
I have tested this file withough vaapi support, and it works, so I'm moving the
ticket component to gstreamer-vaapi. Then I have tested on 1.14.1 as shipped by
Fedora (Intel i965 driver for Intel(R) Skylake - 2.1.0) and it also worked.

Then I tested on HW without HEVC support (Intel i965 driver for Intel(R)
Ivybridge Mobile - 2.1.0) and the software fallback (FFMPEG) did work as
expected. Which means I cannot reproduce the error you are seeing.

Please provide additional information such as VAAPI support details, as
reported by vainfo utility, and confirm which version of GStreamer you are
testing. Ideally, test against newer libva and vaapi driver, as the issue may
already been resolved.

As Nicolas said, the stream plays with my kabylake using intel-vaapi-driver and
this is the first time I heard of someone playing HEVC with the gallium state
tracker for radeon.

Please upload the log with GST_DEBUG=*:4,vaapi*:5

Uhm, that didn't change the log.
I'm going to upload the log with GST_DEBUG="*:5" now.

Can you try with GST_DEBUG=*vaapi*:6 ?

Setting GST_DEBUG to *vaapi*:6 doesn't produce more lines of debug output.

Looks like a problem with gstvaapisink which does not restrict the caps to what
it really supports.

Try playbin video-sink="videoconvert ! xvimagesink"

Try also try gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=file:///data/scratch/das_boot.mkv
! matroskademux ! h265parse ! vaapidecode ! vaapipostproc !
"video/x-raw(memory:VASurface), format=(string)RGBA" ! vaapisink

IIUC the problem is in vaapipostroc: it is unable to apply a filter in a
surface.

Another test would be to export the environment variable
GST_VAAPI_DISABLE_VPP=1

We would need to debug what's happening with the posprocessor.

One last log (without GST_VAAPI_DISABLE_VPP!) exporting the variable
LIBVA_TRACE=~/vpp-failure

With it we would get the logs from VAAPI (but not for the driver, sadly)

And post it here :)

Thanks!
