[04:24] <RikMills> debian/: Disable libva support
[04:24] <RikMills>     vlc's libva support and ffmpeg 5.0 are not compatible.
[04:24] <RikMills> hmmmmm
[04:25] <RikMills> I missed that. so is that the source of the issue?
[04:25] <RikMills> or another red herring?
[04:38] <RikMills> also https://i.imgur.com/opMh6RK.png
[04:38] <RikMills> setting that seems to make things work here
[04:41] <RikMills> also, has anyone tried haruna player from KDE yet in the archive? not as a diagnostic here, but out of curiosity. that uses mpv IIRC
[04:47] <RikMills> ignore that decoder setting I suggested. it doesn't help after all
[04:47] <RikMills> :(
[04:57] <RikMills> haruna :)

[13:29] <RikMills> experimented applying that 'disable libva' change on the jammy package, and it replicated the command line errors we see on kinetic
[13:29] <RikMills> BUT video still worked!
[13:30]  * RikMills is at a loss for now
[15:26] <tsimonq2> arraybolt3: nitpicky personal preference but for consistency's sake I'll mention it in passing:... (full message at <https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/libera.chat/eae0b6dd221bfec6d50613ee6652421fddafe68e>)
[15:28] <tsimonq2> uhhhhh I have a sneaking suspicion that this png -> jpeg change may break *something* with SDDM, I'm going to run this through a local test before I shove it through the archive
[15:28] <tsimonq2> sec
[18:22] <arraybolt3[m]> Simon Quigley: Thanks, will note formatting. Also, I tested the packaging and SDDM worked just fine (I made sure to change a relevant config file in the packaging to cope with the png -> jpeg change).
