I think that packed PB can also be found in other codecs such as H263. So please change to the following if this is a workaround for VP8 only. (The title says that it only changes behavior of VP8 decoding, so it is misleading). - if (ctx->codec_mode != S5P_MFC_CODEC_H264_DEC && + if (ctx->codec_mode != S5P_MFC_CODEC_H264_DEC && + ctx->codec_mode != S5P_MFC_CODEC_VP8_DEC && Did you try to revert your patch https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/patch/15448/ and checking if this fixes the problem for VP8? > -- > 1.7.9.5 Best wishes, -- Kamil Debski Samsung R&D Institute Poland -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
