videos remain black (ubuntu 22.04 / totem-video player or flatpak-dev player), only audio
video files played by totem (22.04ubuntu-repo or flatpak) > only audio, video black
Hello ,
i have a computer where i installed Ubuntu 22.04 as secondary OS. the graphics card is Polaris based AMD-GPU and have installed proprietary drivers for it.
issue is with the default video player for Ubuntu, which is called "videos" but is in fact "totem".
the player would not play any of the videos; after installing
"ubuntu-restricted-extras" , it would play video, but no output is shown, the video remains black, and audio can be heard.
tried installing "org.gnome.totem" via flatpak, but the issue remains, only audio, no video. several video files tried, same story.
it might be related to the amdgpu drivers, but other players function normally (vlc or mpv as an example).
this happens with the repository bundled player "videos" based on totem, but also with the flatpak-flathub based "videos" from here https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.gnome.Totem or with the latest flatpak development version as suggest there https://github.com/GNOME/totem
please let me know a possible solution, thanks.
